Land Rover extends the Christmas cheer

KEEN Christmas new car deals can be had, if you're quick.

One of the latest is drive-away pricing on select Land Rover Discovery models.

For a limited time dealers are offering the Discovery 3 V6 S from $49,990 drive-away and the Discovery 3 TDV6 S from $59,990, which represent savings of more than $4500 on each vehicle.

Buyers can choose Discovery 3 S models in either 4.0-litre V6 or the acclaimed 2.7-litre V6 diesel, mated to a ZF six-speed automatic with CommandShift.

The Discovery's 4.0 V6 petrol engine develops 160kW at 4500rpm and 360Nm at 3000rpm while the award winning 2.7 V6 turbodiesel pumps out 140kW at 4000rpm and a massive 440Nm from just 1900rpm.

All S models feature legendary Land Rover technology that takes the guess work out of driving in all conditions. Its full-time four-wheel drive system boasts a two-speed transfer box and electronically controlled centre locking differential.

Among the standard features on the five-seater S are premium cloth seating, air conditioning, 17-inch alloys, cruise control, six-speaker in-dash CD stereo, as well as a full-size alloy spare and class leading towing capacity.

In November Land Rover also extended its warranty coverage to three years/100,000km.
