Land Rover has added a new variant to the Discovery SUV range. Called the Landmark Edition, it will be positioned as a mid-level variant, slotting between the base S and the top-end Tempest editions. Additionally, the SUV maker has also refreshed the Discovery line-up with new colours and feature updates. While JLR has listed the edition on its India website, it has not yet announced its price.
Land Rover Discovery Landmark Edition: What’s new?
Compared to the rest of the Discovery line-up, the Landmark Edition gets mainly cosmetic differences. It gets an exclusive new Tasman Blue paint job in a metallic finish. The brand says the colour “draws inspiration from the original Clearwater Blue heritage paint dating back to Discovery’s inception in 1989.” There’s also a grey “Graphite Atlas” finish for the grille, front fender vents and Discovery branding at the front and rear, while the front and rear skid plates are done in “Carpathian Grey”.
Additionally, it gets a unique mountain logo on the scuff plate, centre console, circular B-pillar insert and puddle lamp projectors. The interior features brushed aluminium accents with Landmark branding, while the door pads and dashboard feature a faux suede (Tech Velour) trim. Landmark versions get a panoramic sunroof and a centre console refrigerator.
Tempest versions get a new paint job
The top-end Tempest variant of the Discovery gets a new exclusive Borasco Grey paint job, and irrespective of the colour chosen, all Tempest variants get matte protective film as standard. Additionally, all Discovery models get a new ‘Dark Agate Grey’ finish for the 21-inch alloy wheels and a driver attention monitoring system.
Updated Land Rover Discovery: Powertrain
The Discovery continues to be powered by a single 3.0-litre diesel engine, delivering 350hp and 700Nm of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. There’s also Land Rover’s Terrain Response 2 onboard, providing a range of terrain and driving modes.
