“The new Range Rover has an advanced Pivi Pro infotainment system that provides immediate start-up and its complemented by a 13.1-inch Interactive Driver Display screen with high-definition graphics and configurable layout” said Mr. Agbonlahor
He further noted that “The customers’ comfort and convenience are guaranteed in the new Range Rover. The vehicle leverages lessons learned over 50 years of evolution and combines them with cutting edge technologies to deliver comfort at every turn. It features the most sophisticated chassis technology of any vehicle. The integrated chassis control system monitors the road up to 2.5km ahead and prepares for corners using navigation and speed data. It can adjust the suspension at speed to ensure maximum comfort and efficiency”.
Also present at the Customer launch event held at her Nairobi residence was the UK High Commissioner, Jane Marriott, who noted that “The automotive industry in Kenya continues to be of importance to the UK with vehicles ranking first among the top 5 goods exported from the UK to Kenya, by the end of 2021, making up 13.2% of all UK goods exported to Kenya, at a value of £41.8 million. This improvement from 2020 when it ranked second among the Top 5 imports from UK shows the strong resilience exhibited by the sector, fostered by companies such as Inchcape.”
