MOTORING NEWS - 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 for the special edition.
The Landmark Edition will be available in three colours: Corris Grey, Narvik Black and Yulong White. All have 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" wheels in a glossy dark grey, while ebony headlining and grained leather seats inside are striking counterpoints to the brushed aluminium trim finishes.
Standard equipment includes an 8" touch- screen with navigation, front and rear parking sensors, ambient interior lighting, six-way adjustable front seats, a 60:40 second seating row with slide and recline functions and a 10-speaker sound system.
The Landmark Edition is available exclusively with a Td4 132kW diesel 2,0-litre Ingenium engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission.
