Lokhu okusha kuzojabulisa abanikazi beLand Rover encane. Njengoba ithathwa “njengeyakudala”, iLand Rover iqinisekisa ukudayiswa kwezingxenye zangempela ezingaphezu kuka-9,000 kanye nosizo lobuchwepheshe njengeRange Rover yasekuqaleni, iDiscovery nochungechunge I, II kanye no-III olwandulela iLand Rover Defender.

Yaba “i-jeep”, kuyilapho yake yaba “i-jeep”.
Kodwa ingabe “kukudala” kangaka ukubhekwa njengokwakudala…? ILand Rover Freelander yasekuqaleni - manje esithathelwe indawo yiLand Rover Discovery Sport - isalokhu injalo kusukela ekuqaleni kwayo ukubonakala ngo-1997 (ngaphandle komshini) kwaze kwaba ngu-2006. Lokhu kusho ukuthi sekudlule iminyaka eyi-10 kwaqedwa ukukhiqizwa. eminyakeni engamashumi amabili selokhu yakhululwa. Ngokusho komkhiqizo, kwanele ukujoyina iklabhu “yezingcaphuno”… Siyakwamukela!
