Land Rover’s Discovery Sport set a record for single-year sales in 2017 by selling 126 078 units – more than any other Land Rover in the past 70 years. The new Discovery Sport Landmark celebrates the model’s success with a colour and trim combinatio­n unique to the special edition.

The Landmark Edition is available in three colours – Corris Grey, Narvik Black and Yulong White – all topped with a contrastin­g Carpathian Grey roof with a panoramic glass panel.

At the front is a distinctiv­e bumper design with bolder styling and larger air intakes. These intakes, together with the centre grille and side fender vents, come with a special Graphite Atlas finish. Also unique to the Landmark edition is a set of 19-inch split-spoke “Mantis” wheels painted Gloss Dark Grey, while Ebony headlining and grained leather seats act as striking counterpoi­nts to Dark Satin Brushed Aluminium trim finishers in the interior. Standard equipment includes an eight-inch touchscree­n with navigation, front and rear parking sensors, ambient interior lighting, six-way adjustable front seats, 60:40 second seating row with slide and recline function and a 10-speaker sound system, among many others. The Landmark edition is available exclusivel­y with a Td4 132kW diesel 2.0-litre Ingenium engine and a ninespeed automatic transmissi­on. The Land Rover Discovery Sport is available in South Africa now with pricing starting at R672 600.
