Land Rover launches new teen off-road driving experience

Land Rover North America has announced the launch of the new Land Rover Teen Drive Experience, a custom off-road driving instruction program for teens aged 14 and above at Land Rover Experience Centres across the U.S.A.

The program aims to develop and build defensive driving skills and good driving habits in young drivers in a controlled environment, and encourage an appreciation for the outdoors and off-road exploration.

U.S.A Snowboard Team, six-time Internation Ski Federation Crystal Globe winner, and 2019 Internation Ski Federation World Cup big air Snowboard Champion, Chris Corning, was one of the first participants to take part in the new off-road driving program.

"The Land Rover Teen Drive Experience was a really great time, as someone who has had some off-road driving experience, the extended session provided me with some fun, new challenges, while refining the skills I have learned in the past. I think teens are going to have a blast with this experience," said Chris Corning.

The Land Rover Experience Centers are designed to offer consumers the opportunity to experience the great outdoors while developing off-road skills and testing the capability of Land Rover's vehicles, both current and former.

Teen drivers participating in the Teen Drive Experience will have the chance to get behind the wheel of a Range Rover Evoque or Land Rover Discovery Sport on a special course designed for beginner drivers.

The vehicles will be fitted with custom cameras inside the vehicle to monitor all activity, as well as an additional brake pedal on the passenger side.

A certified Land Rover Experience instructor will be in the passenger seat at all times, providing instruction and guidance for even the most novice drivers. A parent or guardian is also required to be in the vehicle at all times.
