2011 Land Rover Discovery 4 Landmark Limited Editions


Land Rover will mark the new year with the launch of a new special edition Discovery. Called the Landmark limited editions, the newcomer will be available in a unique Black and White colour scheme.

The Land Rover Discovery 4 Landmark is offered with the automaker's Terrain Response TM system and power will be provided by the new 3.0-litre SDV6 twin turbo diesel engine which is 9 percent more fuel efficient and emits with 10 percent less CO2 than the old 2.7-litre engine.

The exterior has been gifted with a Santorini Black-finished grille, Satin Black roof rails, tinted windows, as well as 20-inch five-spoke diamond-turned alloy rims that use a gloss black finish.

Inside, the Landmark offers a higher level of luxury – the high-specification Taurus interior leather comes in either Ebony or, for the first time in a Disco, Ivory. Offsetting the Grand Ivory veneer with a contrasting top stitch creates a duo-tone look, offering bold colour combinations to give both versions a striking, contemporary finish.

The Discovery Landmark gets a choice of Santorini Black or Fuji White paint jobs with Santorini Black grille vanes, gloss black 20″ alloys, privacy glass and satin black extended roof rails. Inside there’s a choice of Ebony or Ivory Taurus leather (the first time Ivory has been an option on the Disco – be still my beating heart) with contrast stitching and Grand Ivory veneer.

The Land Rover Discovery 4 Landmark price will be 46,945 GBP.

Press Release

Land Rover will introduce the new Discovery 4 ’Landmark’ Limited Editions in January 2011 featuring unique Black and White colour themes.

This new variant brings a fresh, more contemporary sense of design to the latest Discovery 4 line-up. Both the Black and White models blend high-end interiors with bold, contemporary colour schemes, giving the Discovery 4 a more upmarket look. In keeping with the core appeal of the Discovery 4, this Limited Edition offers on-road refinement to match most executive saloons, the versatility of a large people carrier and unrivalled off-road capability.

"The new Landmark Limited Edition Discovery 4 has been created to offer our customers more choice," said Land Rover design director Gerry McGovern. "The Discovery 4 is already the ultimate all-purpose vehicle, but we’ve brought a new, bolder, more contemporary edge to the design, offering a higher level of luxury in the cabin."

The Landmark is available in Santorini Black or Fuji White colour schemes. A high-specification Taurus interior leather comes in either Ebony or - for the first time in a Discovery - Ivory. Offsetting the Grand Ivory veneer with a contrasting top stitch creates a duo-tone look, offering bold colour combinations to give both versions a striking, contemporary finish.

The exterior also benefits from Santorini Black finish grille vanes, gloss black 20" 5-spoke diamond-turned alloy wheels, privacy glass, and Satin Black extended roof rails that create a unique side silhouette.

The Landmark is powered by Land Rover’s highly efficient 3.0 litre SDV6 twin turbo diesel engine that offers a nine percent fuel economy improvement (EU combined cycle), compared to 2.7 litre engine it replaced and ten percent less CO2, re-affirming the brand’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability.

All variants come with Land Rover’s award-winning Terrain ResponseTM system, which optimises the vehicle set-up for virtually all on-road or off-road driving situations, with five different settings to suit different terrains.

The Land Rover Discovery first went on-sale in 1989 and since then has received over 150 awards from all over the world. The Discovery 4 has won a number of awards, including, in the UK, 4x4 Magazine’s Car of the Year and the Scottish Car of the Year and, internationally, the Best 4x4 for Spain’s Car and Driver, Best Annual SUV for Autocar in China and All-Round SUV of the Year for Bloomberg’s USA.

The Discovery 4 Limited Editions will go on-sale from in the UK from January 2011, priced at £46,945 OTR.
