Landmark moment for new Discovery Sport

-

LAND Rover has enhanced its Discovery Sport range with a new special edition. The Landmark Edition salutes the model’s success as the fastest-selling Land Rover of all time – coinciding with the brand’s year-long 70th anniversar­y celebratio­ns. Powered by Land Rover’s TD4 180PS diesel Ingenium engine, the Landmark offers customers the best of the Discovery Sport range with a unique colour and trim combinatio­n.

Finbar McFall, Global Product Marketing Director, said: “The Discovery Sport is loved by customers because it demonstrat­es the breadth of Land Rover’s ability, offering unrivalled all-terrain capability with the versatilit­y for up to seven people and a premium interior.

“We have sold more than 350,000 Discovery Sports globally since its introducti­on in 2014, with 126,078 models sold in 2017 – the best single-model annual sales in Land Rover’s 70-year history.”

The first model to be built on Land Rover’s 70th birthday on April 30 was a Discovery Sport, at Land Rover’s Halewood plant in Merseyside. This vehicle will be used to support a number of projects in 2018, starting with a community resilience project in Scotland, details of which will be announced in June.

The Discovery Sport Landmark is available in three colours: Narvik Black, Corris Grey and Yulong White, all crowned with a Carpathian Grey contrast roof.

It features a sporty and dynamic front bumper, with Graphite Atlas exterior accents and 19-inch Style 521 ‘Mantis’ wheels in Gloss Dark Grey.

The interior features Ebony grained leather seats and an Ebony headliner, complement­ed by dark grey aluminium finishers around the centre stack, a panoramic roof, MeridianTM sound system and heated steering wheel.

The Landmark Edition is priced from £40,400 on-the-road and is available to order from dealership­s now.
