A voyage of Discovery
February 20, 2014
Land Rover has unveiled a new special edition Discovery model to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the off-roader’s launch.
It is called the XXV and is based on the existing HSE Luxury spec which features a unique interior colour, distinctive badging and a premium interior lined with Windsor leather.
The special edition is available in Causeway Grey and boasts black grille surrounds and mirror caps, features on the grille and fender vents, body-coloured handles, a stainless steel bumper accessory tread plate and full-length silver roof rails.
In addition to the distinctive XXV badging on the front door and tailgate, the Disco is fitted with newly designed silver 20-inch five-spoke forged alloy wheels.
Inside, there are luxurious touches such as twist pile carpet mats and a leather-wrapped wooden steering wheel and there is eye-catching XXV embossing throughout.
First introduced in 1989, the Discovery totally changed the 4×4 landscape with its combination of contemporary design, user-friendly interiors and unrivalled versatility.
Over its 25 year history, it has been chosen as the explorer’s choice – Sir Ranulph Fiennes used an original Discovery in his exhibition to discover the Lost City of Ubar.
Jaguar Land Rover marketing chief Phil Popham said: “Since its inception the Land Rover Discovery has been pivotal to the success of the brand and has now become an iconic design in its own right.
“The Discovery XXV Special Edition is the ultimate in sophisticated versatility and a fitting tribute to the legendary status of this iconic Land Rover.”
