Special Defender bull bar deal for the holidays

Land Rover South Africa is offering a special deal on Genuine Accessory bull bars for Defender customers this holiday season.

From now until 21 December, customers who purchase an Accessory bull bar for their Defender 90 or 110 will receive an R11,500 discount and a 2,573-piece LEGO Technic New Defender model valued at R3,000 thrown in for good measure.

The Genuine Accessory bull bar is available for Defenders specified with air suspension, and it is not available for X-Dynamic models. The regular price of an Accessory bull bar is R47,277 including fitment, but with the discount a customer will pay R35,777 until 21 December.

The bull bar is an alternative to the front expedition protection system or ‘A’ frame protection bar. Mounted to the front bumper via a winch cradle, it provides extra vehicle protection from disabling damage to the vehicle from impacts, allowing the vehicle and passengers to continue their journey to the nearest point of safety. A winch can be fitted to the bull bar cradle without the requirement of a winch mounting kit.

The LEGO Technic vehicle echoes New Defender with a host of realistic elements and functions, including authentic body panels and rims, four-wheel drive with three differentials, fully independent suspension, a working winch and LEGO Technic’s most sophisticated gearbox yet –  all designed to provide an engrossing and rewarding building experience for car lovers and LEGO fans alike.

Jaguar Land Rover offers complimentary safety checks to customers

With the relaxation of national lockdown levels many South African holiday seekers will be hitting the road for the festive season. Jaguar Land Rover is offering some appetising deals for drivers of its vehicles ahead of any planned road trips.

Any Jaguar or Land Rover driver in South Africa is welcome to schedule complimentary vehicle safety checks and premium valet services at any dealer nationwide. This service is available for all Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, whether they are within their valid Care Plan and warranty periods or not. Customers can contact any dealer at their convenience to schedule their free safety checks between 11 October and 31 December 2021.

For vehicles with valid Jaguar or Land Rover Care Plans, which come as standard on all new vehicles for a period of 5 years or 100,000km, customers will receive a R500 discount to use on any available branded goods or accessories.

Customers with expired Care Plans and warranties are included in the offer, with R1,000 discounts to be used towards parts and/or labour on any necessary maintenance or repairs on the day of bookings.

The complimentary safety checks, valet services and vouchers may only be redeemed once per vehicle, and bookings at any dealer must be made in advance.

And the Jaguar Land Rover Retailer of the Year is…..

Jaguar Land Rover South Africa honoured its top performing retailers during its annual Retailer of the Year ceremony held virtually, in respect of South Africa’s current adjusted Level 4 restrictions.

The Jaguar Land Rover South Africa Retailer of the Year awards recognize the efforts of the individuals and businesses that have consistently propelled sales figures through their actions and work ethic, whilst upholding and representing the stature and ideals of the Jaguar and Land Rover brands over the past year.

The Retailer of The Year awards are based on a comprehensive set of metrics on which each franchise is measured throughout the preceding year and showcases those retailers whose performance has exceeded expectations.

In addition to sales performance, scorecards also include factors that directly impact the customer experience. These include process adherence, results of standards audits and feedback from customers. The grand prize – the Retailer of the Year award – recognises the combined overall performance across all departments at the winning retailer. The Retailer of The Year award was presented to Jaguar Land Rover The Glen, which also scooped the Customer Service Retailer of the Year award and couple of second runner up places.
