    D5 Getting more fleet deals

    Looks like some Spanish cops just got 85 discos for their fleet!, might explain why there is a bit of a wait for the D5 atm D5 Getting more fleet deals

    La DGT compra 85 Land Rover Discovery SD4 240 CV: Mas de 60.000 € por unidad para tu seguridad

    "The fleet of the General Directorate of Traffic has just been completed with nothing less than 85 brand new Land Rover Discovery that will be responsible for doing their service throughout the Spanish territory. The new vehicles were delivered last week at an official ceremony held in Alcalá de Henares.

    The DGT has opted for the "big" Land Rover Discovery - and not the Sport that is cheaper for its fleet - that should be used by the Civil Guard Traffic Grouping (ATGC) to patrol both conventional roads and we assume in complicated access zones.

    All Discovery units are equipped with the 2.0 SD4 diesel engine that develops 240 HP of power and is combined with an automatic gearbox with eight speeds and the intelligent all-wheel drive system that allows an off-road capability extraordinary

    In addition, the 85 vehicles have received the necessary modifications to be able to carry out the service, they have been vinyl with the usual decoration of the vehicles of the DGT and include the off-road package and, of course, the necessary optical and light signaling systems"

    This is in addition to the recent stage 1 German fleet deal of 40, plus another batch this month.

    They won't do it here. Shame because it would drop the price right out of the second hand market when they all started getting turned over by the Govt. Cheers

    Why wouldnt they do it the Ozzie cops are taking all sorts of weird and wonderful cars these days ever since Aussie manufacturing ended. The floodgates seem to have opened to all sorts of possibilities.

    I'm guessing Land Rover fleet and commercial must be putting it out there as an option to all of the government departments that hire fleet cars around the world.

    Because there are other brands in Aus that target fleets very aggressively.

    I know a guy who works in the fleet section of a dealership,and the price discounts for fleets compared what anyone else pays is jaw dropping.

    Sure, it could happen,but only a very,very remote chance.

    Yeah fair call, I guess it all comes down to perceived value and needs for the particular fleet buyer and price.

    Wow, they are pumping them out

    I guess from a safety rating, load space, payload and towing cars that break down on the highway point of view, they are a sound choice.

    I think the Germans got the best discos D5 Getting more fleet deals

    Any dealer member on the forum got the sales figures for D5?
    I think they must be very disappointing.
    I bought a 4WD mag which had sales in November I think and the only one to make it in the top 20 was Disco Sport with 151 so D5 sales maybe were lower than that.

    Regards Philip A

    Ohhh dealer members, they would be popular D5 Getting more fleet deals.

    Looked this up online for another thread.

    LR not JLR sell around 410,000 units a year across all the LR models worldeide, D5 is at around 45,000 per year from this total!

    Compare that with the defenders best year recently of 23,000 (2015) before that 17k was the average.

    So D5 is currently selling 2.5x that of the defender, not bad sales considering its only relatively new.

    Imo as people and gov fleets start to understand the D5, sales will grow.
