Land Rover and Jeep head to the CLA Game Fair

This year’s CLA Game Fair will proudly feature Jeep and Land Rover as the brands seek to reach a key part of their market. Land Rover will bring with it the newly-launched Range Rover Evoque, its first compact vehicle.

Meanwhile Jeep will bring with the new Grand Cherokee, designed on a new platform to offer better on-road performance while retaining its off-road ability. It will be driven there by Claire Zambuni, owner of The Shooting Society and The Covert Girls, who is recognised as one of the UK’s leading ladies in shooting, and is listed in The Field magazine’s 100 Best Shots Ever. Claire is a new ambassador for the Jeep brand and drives a Grand Cherokee Limited.

The new Grand Cherokee features a new 3.0-litre V6 CRD diesel engine, that powers the car from 0-62 mph in just 8.2 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 126 mph, yet the 237bhp unit returns 34.0 mpg on the combined cycle. The Grand Cherokee range starts at £36,795 OTR for the 3.0 CRD V6 Limited, rising to £43,995 for the 3.0 CRD V6 Overland.

Land Rover meanwhile will showcase the new Evoque in both 5 door and coupe forms. UK prices start from £27,955 for an eD4 Pure 5-door 6 Speed manual 2WD model, when the model goes on sale in September. The 4WD equivalent is priced at £28,705. The compact car will come in a total choice of three engines, two body styles, three design themes plus a wide range of options and accessories. The top-of-the-range Si4 6 Speed automatic Dynamic coupé with LUX pack is available for £44,320.

As a well-established supporter of The CLA Game Fair, Land Rover will again be sponsoring the Clay Pigeon Shooting Association’s Champion of Champions competition in which individual county champions contest an overall title.

Additionally, Land Rover is also sponsoring the fair’s new VIP Club. The Club promises visitors a first class experience, with use of a concierge service, refreshments throughout the day and exclusive seating.

As the world’s biggest celebration of country sport and pursuits, The CLA Game Fair takes place at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire from 22nd to 24th July, and promises to attract thousands of visitors to enjoy a vast range of country pursuits, competitions, demonstrations and crafts.
