Land Rover Accessories - To Enhance Functionality and Style

Various and numerous are car accessories conceived with the intent to provide comfort and convenience to the motorists – Land Rover accessories included.

It would not be surprising if a car buff feels that if their car is not fitted with the latest novelty than this is tantamount to unpardonable lack of interest in the car – not to mention lack of concern for all occupants of the car.

Car accessories anyway are important. As one car manufacturers’ spokesman commented, “We want to customize the car to what the customer wants.”

Land Rover accessories are available in a broad range to add distinctiveness, flair, and capability to the vehicle.


The options motorists have include:

Exterior and interior styling additions and enhancements
Accessories for carrying and towing
Alloy wheel designs
Child seat choices

Like all manufacturers, Land Rover makes available accessories to be fitted individually anytime, and not necessarily when it is new.

Let us focus on two unconventional Land Rover accessories that are special in newer models.

1. Carbon fibre mirror covers for the Range Rover Evoque look great and are available at all leading dealers.
2. Land Rover models 300Tdi, Td5, and current 2.4 diesel engines can be fitted with raised air intake, a utility that’s ideal for dirty conditions. It secures to the vehicle’s ‘A’ post and makes use of existing air intake vent fittings.

Raised air intakes are also known as snorkels. They play two important roles:

It enables the car to pass through deep waters by preventing water from entering the car filters
By being installed in a raised position it draws in cleaner air, a clear advantage for 4x4 vehicles that have air intakes set low. By preventing dust being pulled in owners save money on fewer filters replacements. It must be remembered that it takes just a few grams of dust to enter the engine to wear it out.

The above two and many more are available at most Land Rover Canada dealers, including at Budds’ Imported Cars, Ontario’s oldest and most established Jaguar/Land Rover dealer.
