Try before you buy

Are you considering buying a Land Rover but not sure if it’s the right vehicle for you? Then you’ll be glad to hear that Jaguar Land Rover Experience in Johannesburg now offers so-called Taster Drives, giving potential customers more in-depth test drives than are possible in dealership environments. Each Taster Drive includes an introduction to the Experience facility, a short vehicle safety briefing and the drive experience itself – all totalling around 90 minutes.


The new Taster Drives are offered alongside the Experience centre’s half-day, full-day or bespoke luxury travel driving
experiences which are available in a wide range of current models, including the new Defender and Range Rover. Taster
Drives start at R1 520 per person and are hosted by Jaguar Land Rover’s globally accredited instructors.


Jaguar Land Rover Experience is the first Experience centre in the southern hemisphere and the largest in the world. It
offers visitors the opportunity to get behind the wheel of current Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles on a variety of test
tracks. The property is also home to the Kingsley Holgate Expedition Trail – 3km of off-road tracks named after the
long-time friend and global ambassador of the Land Rover brand. There’s also a Land Rover Adventure Park adjacent
to the main building where a series of tailor-made obstacles are designed to put vehicles to the test in a controlled but
challenging environment
