Land Rover has unveiled a new Discovery XXV Special Edition as a celebration of the 25th anniversary year of the original launch of its versatile family SUV. First introduced in 1989, the Discovery revolutionised the 4x4 landscape. Its combination of contemporary design, spacious and user-friendly interiors, unflinching capability and extreme versatility made it an instant hit. With the release of each new generation, the Land Rover Discovery has cemented its position as the most capable, versatile SUV in the world.
Thanks to its formidable array of innovative and award-winning technologies, from Terrain Response to Hill Descent Control, the Discovery is as comfortable taking on everyday journeys as it is tackling the world's harshest terrain - as numerous intercontinental expeditions have proved.
Over its 25 years, it has been chosen as the explorer's choice to take on challenges and adventures - Sir Ranulph Fiennes used an original Discovery in his exhibition to discover the Lost City of Ubar, while the Discovery 3 was used on the record holding London-Cape Town drive in 2013. Discovery models have also been used in Land Rover's own famous G4 Challenge and Camel Trophy.
Available in Causeway Grey, it features Narvik Black grille surrounds and mirror caps, and Dark Atlas features on the grille and fender vents. Also featuring distinctive XXV badging on the front door and tailgate, the special edition is fitted with newly designed 20-inch five-split-spoke forged alloy wheels in a light polished-silver finish.
The XXV Special Edition is based on the existing HSE Luxury specification and has a unique interior colourway in Cirrus, distinctive external badging and a sophisticated and premium interior lined with Windsor leather. Additional luxurious highlights include twist pile carpet mats and a leather-wrapped wooden steering wheel, while subtle XXV embossing throughout adds to the high-quality British workmanship of the XXV Special Edition.
