If you’ve missed out on his television show, “Man vs. Wild,” Bear Grylls is a British adventurer known for his aptitude for wilderness survival. Recently, he took a break from wrestling alligators, eating various insects, and free climbing waterfalls to help promote the new Land Rover Discovery Sport. But because he is still Bear Grylls, he decided to take the unconventional route of jumping out of an airplane to show off a new feature on the upcoming Land Rover vehicle. Here at Land Rover Northfield, we are excited that the tech-filled 2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport will be released at our dealership in the coming months.
The
2017 Land Rover Discovery Sport will be debuting in Paris later this
month. But in order to show off one of the vehicle’s much heralded
features, Grylls jumped out of a plane and fiddled with a smartphone
on the way back down to Earth. The new feature is known as
Intelligent Seat Fold, and it allows owners of the 2017 Land Rover
Discovery Sport to reconfigure the back two rows of seats using the
Land Rover InControl Remote app, which is available for both iOS and
Android devices. With this app, drivers can change the seat positions
in as little as 14 seconds.
In
order to show off Intelligent Seat Fold, Land Rover told Bear Grylls
to change the seat configuration of the car while he was skydiving.
It’s unknown how he had Internet access when he was thousands of
feet off the ground, but it worked. In addition to this feature, the
new Land Rover Discovery Sport
will
contain other groundbreaking technologies.
