To showcase its newest Intelligent Seat Fold technology that can be controlled through a mobile app, the British marque employed world-renowned adventurer Bear Grylls, and as expected, it’s anything but ordinary.
Having jumped with six members of the Royal Navy Parachute Display Team, Bear Grylls demonstrated the workings of the InControl Remote app that allows owners to change the vehicle’s seating layout at the touch of a button – even in mid-air.
The world-first remote seat configuration technology, allows for the two rear rows of seats to be fully reconfigured in a matter of just 14 seconds via the App from anywhere in the world.

Not restricted to only adjusting the seats, the InControl Remote App also allows owners to ensure all windows are closed, check the fuel level, set the A/C temperature, and also monitor the vehicle’s location.
Alex Heslop, Land Rover’s Chief Engineer for Discovery, said: “This unique feature sets the New Discovery apart from any other vehicle. The fact that owners can change the seating while doing things like queuing with their shopping is a true milestone in convenience delivered through technological innovation.”
