Land Rover Discovery launches two new special editions

"The appeal of the Land Rover Discovery has just got even greater. We have launched the two new special editions which offer the customer greater on-road presence and enhanced comfort to complement the Discovery's existing versatility and capability attributes," says Finbar McFall, Jaguar Land Rover product marketing director.

Discovery Landmark

The Discovery Landmark builds on the generous specification of the HSE derivative with new interior and exterior features that offer the customer a more premium and unique look and feel to their Discovery.

Exterior upgrade

The exterior upgrade sees the addition of full-length roof rails in a bright finish that highlight the familiar stepped roof design of the Discovery. Distinctive black fender vents, grille and mirror caps complement silver bonnet and tailgate badges, alongside Landmark badging to the side and rear to further distinguish this model. 20-inch 5-split spoke alloy wheels complete the design.

The Landmark is available in a limited range of five body colours, including Zanzibar, which has been exclusively reserved for the Landmark edition and is not available on any other Discovery. The other four available body colours are Waitomo Grey, Santorini Black, Yulong White and Indus Silver.

Enhancements to interior refinement come as standard inside the Landmark with the addition of Windsor Leather seats and the Extended Leather Pack throughout, furnishing the dashboard, door casings and fascia. The interior is purposefully limited to three colourways - ebony, almond and tan. The latter is offered for the first time ever in a Discovery, with tan windsor leather seats complemented by ebony door casings and fascia and a straight grained walnut veneer trim finisher.

Additionally, the customer can choose from a selection of standard and optional steering wheels to complement the choice of veneer. This includes the grand black lacquer or straight grained walnut wood and leather steering wheel.

Discovery Graphite

The Discovery Graphite builds on the success of the Black Pack and introduces a modern and distinctive look to the model range with striking finishes. A grey Graphite finish to the fender vents and grille, which also sports a gloss black and lighter grey frame, blend with existing grey highlights appointed to the door handles and the Discovery badging to the bonnet and tailgate. Exclusive to the Graphite is the 19-inch 7-split spoke alloy wheel in a high gloss dark grey as standard.

The acclaimed Terrain Response and Hill Descent Control drive technologies ensure optimal and responsive driving across any terrain as standard. Add in the choice of optional Wade Sensing™ technology to alert the driver to deep water, and the Discovery is equipped to tackle whatever path the customer decides to travel.

To support the Discovery's towing capacity of 3,500kg, trailer stability assist is provided as standard to help hitch a trailer to the tow bar and the tow hitch assist (standard on Landmark special edition) acts as an extra pair of eyes as the vehicle is manoeuvred into position. Safety and security options - such as blind spot monitoring, closing vehicle sensing and reverse traffic detection, offer the driver further assistance when out on the road.

The Land Rover Discovery continues to drive power and all-terrain capability with both diesel and petrol engine options matched with the refined ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. The Discovery's 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine, generates 250kW@6,500rpm, with 450Nm of torque, and combined CO2 emissions from 285g/km. Fuel consumption stands at 12.0l/100km.

The diesel-powered 183kW 3.0-litre SDV6 offers 600Nm of torque, delivering 8.8l/100km and a CO2 figure from 230g/km on a combined cycle.
