World-renowned British
adventurer and well-known Land Rover owner Bear Grylls took to the skies to put
the New Discovery’s Intelligent Seat Fold technology to the ultimate test.
The
system allows Discovery owners to configure their vehicle seating through the
InControl Remote app on their smartphone from anywhere in the world - even in
mid-air.
Having
jumped from a plane with six members of the Royal Navy Parachute Display Team
and freefalling at 125mile/h, Grylls could change the vehicle’s seating layout
at the touch of a button on his smartphone before he had to deploy his
parachute.
Once on the ground all the skydivers were able
to jump into a camouflaged prototype of the New Discovery, which comfortably
seats seven full-sized adults.
The world-first Intelligent Seat Fold
technology allows the two rear rows of seats to be fully reconfigured in as
little as 14 seconds via the InControl Remote app downloaded on any iOS or
Android operating system.
Meanwhile, the newly-launched Land Rover
Evoque Convertible helped propel Jaguar Land Rover to its strongest August to
date, with retail sales of 36,926 vehicles, up 26% compared to August 2015.
The month’s performance was also driven by
strong sales of the Land Rover Discovery Sport, the Jaguar XE and the F-PACE,
as well as exceptional sales in the US. Jaguar Land Rover sold 372,978 vehicles
in the first eight months of 2016, 24 per cent up on the same period in the
prior year.
