Mahmoudia Motors showcases Land Rover’s new Discovery Sport in Jordan during family adventure event

Mahmoudia Motors - the sole and official dealer of Jaguar and Land Rover cars in Jordan - showcased on Saturday 23 May, 2015, Land Rover's New Discovery Sport during an exclusive event that gave the Kingdom's off-roading enthusiasts and their families the opportunity to experience first-hand Land Rover’s most versatile and capable compact SUV yet. Held at the Bisharat Golf Course, the full-day event enabled attendees to witness the vehicle's nimble all-terrain performance. Three lucky raffle winners also got the chance to test the SUV's prowess for themselves for a full weekend on a 5-star Wadi Rum camping trip.

The new edition of the Discovery family, the New Discovery Sport is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine and 240 horsepower. In addition to a revolutionary design that features optional 5+2 seating while still retaining a more compact footprint than traditional 5-seat SUVs, the model’s state-of-the-art body shell boasts both ultra-high-strength steel and lightweight aluminium. Furthermore, the model’s progressive design encompasses a Head-Up Display (HUD), an all-new 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, as well as tilt-and-slide row-two seating for maximum interior configurability. The SUV proved its underlying force and versatility when prototypes underwent a series of tests in the Middle East’s sweltering heat.

Commenting on the event, General Manager of Mahmoudia Motors, Abdimajid Haithar, said, “Since its worldwide debut late last year, the New Discovery Sport has been gaining popularity among car enthusiasts everywhere. Through this event, we were able to share with Land Rover fans a glimpse of the wealth of innovative features and capabilities that make the New Discovery Sport such a fantastic car, and we look forward to doing the same for Jordan's premium luxury car enthusiasts at our showrooms.”
