More power, upgraded technology

Land Rover has announced a series of updates for the 2012 Discovery 4 and Range Rover Sport.

First and foremost, the 3.0-liter SDV6 diesel engine has been tuned to produce 256 PS (188 kW / 252 hp) and 600 Nm (443 lb-ft) of torque – an increase of 11 PS (8 kW / 11 hp). It is connected to a new eight-speed automatic transmission, with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and a Jaguar-inspired rotary gear-selector, which enables both models to have reduced CO2 emissions of 230 g/km.

An extraordinary 4×4 rental SUV You’ll probably feel like one of the Beckhams when you drive the Range Rover Sport. It’s (very) big and (very) powerful, and you’ll definitely be noticed! This 4×4 vehicle combines elegance and brute presence in a way that few vehicles have achieved in the past.

The Range Rover Sport will dominate whatever road you choose to put before it, and stylishly so. Our car-crazy holiday team has sourced excellent 4×4 rental car options like the upmarket Range Rover Sport, and all at rental rates that are better than you might expect. Hire a Range Rover Sport in Cape Town and you’ll experience a whole new world of re-assuring safety, serious style and epic power – welcome, super-VIP. In one of these, you can cruise around the most exclusive areas of Cape Town in undeniable style. But tar roads aren’t all this vehicle is capable of cruising… If you’re keen to venture off-road in the Range Rover Sport, go right ahead.

Unlike many luxury SUVs that can’t deal with much more than a pavement, the Rover has more than enough ground clearance to enable you to do a little off-road adventuring around Cape Town. With a supercharged 4.2-litre V8 engine growling away up front, you needn’t be worried about having enough power on tap. A huge 550Nm of torque means that this imposing SUV will devour any hill, anywhere, without skipping a beat. Sir Lowry Pass, here we come; Du Toit’s Kloof Pass, consider it done; Cederberg and Bushmanskloof, absolutely!

The interior has been immaculately designed, which is just as well, since you’re probably going to want to spend a significant amount of time in this car. Materials and finishes are top-notch, and all the dials and buttons are intuitive and logically laid out so that you can concentrate on enjoying the ride rather than wondering which button does what. Range Rover Sport Rentals in Cape Town are priced at R4000 per day, and for that fee you get free reign with an adventurous 4×4 that can race to 100km/h in 7.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 225km/h.
