Land Rover has introduced the Model Year 2018 Discovery Sport in India with a suite of advanced technology features. These include Wi-Fi Hotspot and Pro Services in addition to the existing InControl Apps feature.
The Wi-Fi Hotspot uses a customer sourced SIM to provide in car access to a 4G hotspot for up to eight devices. This allows passengers to simultaneously stay connected, work or be entertained throughout the journey.
A range of additional services that further enhance the vehicle’s infotainment capabilities have been included under ‘InControl – Pro Services’ to deliver an even richer and more connected experience. Key features of these services include the following:
•The Route Planner App – Available from Apple Store or Google Play Store, the App allows one to navigate to the end destination and sync routes with the vehicle’s navigation system.
•Commute Mode – This feature learns a regular route and displays diversions if there are delays on the existing regular route.
