LAND ROVER DISCOVERY APPEAL BROADENS WITH LAUNCH OF TWO
SPECIAL EDITIONS
 Greater on-road presence with the addition of the Discovery Landmark and Graphite Special
Editions
 Distinctive exterior design features enhance fourth generation Land Rover Discovery
 World-renowned all-terrain capability and versatility retained
Whitley, UK, October 22 2015 – Land Rover continues to broaden the appeal of the Discovery
with the launch of two new special editions – the Landmark and the Graphite*. New distinctive
exterior design features to both editions enhance the design of the fourth generation Discovery,
while unique interior touches to the Landmark bring more luxury and exclusivity.
These special editions give the Discovery even greater on-road presence than ever before.
Available to order from the end of October, they will be seen on the roads from January 2016
onwards.
“The appeal of the Land Rover Discovery has just got even greater. We have launched two new
special editions – the Landmark and Graphite, 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.
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.
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

2. 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 & Leather steering wheel.
The Discovery Landmark starts from £55,995 / €64,950.
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 customer can choose between a spectrum of nine body colours and three interior
colourways*.
The Discovery Graphite starts from £47,495 / €57,000.
Efficient technologies
The optional Land Rover InControl Apps* complements the Discovery’s existing infotainment
system to provide the ultimate in-car connectivity. It brings the convenience, familiarity and
original look and feel of compatible smartphone apps into the owner’s vehicle, which are

3. displayed and controlled from the vehicle’s touchscreen. The customer can find parking spaces,
stream their favourite music or simply locate the nearest hotel for that invaluable pit-stop.
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 the single-speed
transfer box or twin-speed – the latter offering high and low range for the most demanding off-
road conditions, and 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.
The Discovery has been at the top of The Caravan Club judging panel’s list of capable towing
vehicles consistently for the last nine years in the UK, recently scooping three top honours,
including overall winner. To support the Discovery’s award-winning towing capacity of 3,500kg,
Trailer Stability Assist is provided as standard to help hitch a trailer to the tow bar and the
optional Tow Hitch Assist acts as an extra pair of eyes as the vehicle is maneuvered 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.
A full 7-seater with stadium seating and 2,600-litre stowage capacity, the Discovery can be
reconfigured and equipped to fit seamlessly into the changing lifestyle of its owner. Its versatile
interior with variable seating and a range of essential hard-wearing and practical accessories,
ensure everyone travels in premium class comfort without compromise. The split tailgate and
height adjustable air suspension are an added bonus for easier loading and unloading.
The Land Rover Discovery continues to drive power and all-terrain capability with efficient diesel
and petrol engine options when matched with fuel-stretching Stop/Start** technology and the
refined ZF 8-speed automatic transmission.
For key petrol markets, the 3.0-litre V6 Supercharged generates 340PS@6,500rpm (250kW)
with 450Nm of torque and combined CO2 emissions from 269g/km. Fuel consumption stands at
24.6mpg (11.5 l/100km).
The 211PS (155kW) 3.0-litre TDV6 remains the EU6 diesel engine entry level option, delivering
36.7mpg (7.7l/100km) and a CO2 figure from 203g/km on a combined cycle. The higher-
powered 256PS (188kW) 3.0-litre SDV6 gives equivalent fuel consumption and CO2 figures.
The Land Rover Discovery retains its position as the ultimate vehicle for all-terrain capability
and versatility, with over 1,160,000 retail sales and 225 international awards since its launch in
1989.
