- Land Rover has introduced the 2027 Discovery.
- It sports a new mid-level Landmark Edition.
- The entry-level S trim drops the four-cylinder.
The fifth-generation Land Rover Discovery was introduced in the fall of 2016 and it appears the model is about to ride off into the sunset. This is a surprising development as we haven’t seen prototypes of a redesigned SUV, but the company is hinting at the end by introducing a Landmark Edition.
As Autocar noted, Land Rover has previously sent off the Discovery II, LR3, and LR4 with Landmark Editions. However, the automaker introduced a Discovery Sport Landmark in 2025, and that model is still hanging around despite being even older.

Putting all that aside, the Landmark Edition “celebrates the essence of Discovery.” It slots between the S and Tempest trims, and offers a unique Tasman Blue paint job that draws inspiration from the Clearwater Blue offered on the original model.
Buyers will also find Carpathian Grey skid plates as well as Graphite Atlas accents on the grille, fender vents, and badging. They’re joined by 21‑inch alloy wheels with a new Dark Agate Grey finish.
Opening the front doors reveals puddle lights that project a Mountain graphic onto the ground. A similar motif can also be found on the sill plates and dark grey brushed aluminum trim. Other highlights include Tech Velour door panels, a panoramic sunroof, and a center console refrigerator.
Pricing starts at $70,800 and the model comes nicely equipped with an air suspension, a black contrast roof, and a power liftgate. Other highlights include a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and an 11.4-inch infotainment system. Customers will also find an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a wireless smartphone charger, a four-zone climate control system, and an 11-speaker Meridian audio system. They’re accompanied by an assortment of driver assistance systems such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Assist, and Emergency Braking.
The Four-Cylinder Is Dead
The entry-level Discovery S starts at $64,900 and drops the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The model now comes equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-liter Ingenium inline-six developing 355 hp (265 kW / 360 PS). It enables the SUV to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 6.2 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 130 mph (209 km/h).
The range-topping Discovery Tempest begins at $84,300 and sees a handful of minor updates including a newly available Borasco Grey paint job. Bigger changes occur inside, where there’s updated upholstery as well as fancier massaging front seats with a driver memory function.
