Land Rover Discovery XXV Special Edition

In the late 1980s Land Rover realised an additional model was needed to fill the growing gap in its range between the ever utilitarian Ninety / One Ten and increasingly luxurious Range Rover. The result was the Discovery, which the company launched twenty-five years ago into a market segment that had already attracted several Japanese rivals.

To celebrate the anniversary, the new Discovery XXV Special Edition has just been announced. Based on the existing HSE Luxury trim grade, its exterior is distinguished by Causeway Grey paintwork plus XXV badges, silver roof rails, unique 20” polished-silver forged alloy wheels and a black finish for the grille surround and door mirror caps.

The interior meanwhile features twist-pile carpet mats and leather trim that extends to the door tops, fascia and instrument binnacle surround.

A price for the XXV Special Edition has yet to be confirmed.

Although top speed is virtually unchanged at 121 mph (195 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time is slashed from 9.9 to 8.7 seconds. To go with the extra performance, the looks have been spruced up too. There are 17” black alloy wheels, twin chrome exhausts and a silver finish at the front for the aerofoil, grille surround and fog light bezels. Paintwork choice comprises Frozen White, Midnight Sky Metallic or Panther Black Metallic. The interior hasn’t been ignored, either.
