Land Rover has officially introduced a brand-new variant to its iconic seven-seat luxury SUV lineup: the Land Rover Discovery Landmark Edition. Positioned strategically as a mid-tier offering between the entry-level Discovery S and the flagship Tempest, this edition pays homage to the legendary lineage of the nameplate, which dates back to its initial debut in 1989.
The Landmark Edition focuses heavily on distinct lifestyle aesthetics, cabin comfort, and premium standard additions. Rather than offering radical mechanical shifts, it aims to deliver enhanced personalization and curation to families who want to combine uncompromised all-terrain capability with an exclusive road presence.
Aesthetic Tributes: Tasman Blue and Bespoke Branding
The defining visual highlight of the Discovery Landmark Edition is its exclusive Tasman Blue metallic exterior paint. This color is reserved solely for this special variant and draws inspiration from the original Clearwater Blue heritage paint seen on the very first generation of the Discovery in 1989.
To offset the heritage blue shade, Land Rover has applied a striking Graphite Atlas finish across the front grille, side fender vents, and the prominent “Discovery” wordmark script on both the front hood and tailgate. The rugged theme is tied together with heavy Carpathian Grey front and rear skid plates and a bold set of 21-inch alloy wheels finished in an all-new Dark Agate Grey tone.
The exterior is further distinguished by a custom-designed mountain logo silhouette, which is cleanly etched into the circular B-pillar inserts and projects directly onto the ground via specialized puddle lamp housings when opening the doors.

Elevated Cabin Utility and Premium Touches
Stepping inside the seven-seat cabin reveals a heavily stylized family environment. The entire dashboard assembly and upper door casings are trimmed in Tech Velour, a premium faux-suede fabric that gives the interior a softer texture. This is balanced by dark-grey brushed aluminum trim inserts running across the center stack, complete with distinct Landmark branding labels.
To make family getaways more comfortable, Land Rover has packed this mid-tier edition with features that are typically locked behind higher options menus. A massive sliding panoramic sunroof fills the first two rows with natural light, while an active refrigerator compartment built into the center armrest console keeps beverages cold on long road trips. Additionally, all rows stay fully connected thanks to up to nine dedicated USB charging ports and standard wireless device charging pads up front.
Relentless All-Terrain Architecture
While the packaging feels increasingly premium, the Landmark Edition retains the raw utility that made the Discovery name famous. The platform relies heavily on Land Rover’s signature Terrain Response 2 system, which continuously watches ground traction and adjusts power distribution, air suspension height, and differential locking parameters automatically.
The SUV features an exceptional maximum water-wading depth of 900mm and a hefty 3,500kg towing limit, ensuring it can easily handle deep water crossings, muddy trails, or large trailers. Combined with All-Terrain Progress Control (ATPC)—which acts as a low-speed off-road cruise control over loose rocks or sand—the Landmark Edition provides drivers with immense confidence on any surface.
