Land Rover, 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. Discovery has led the way in terms of innovation, featuring technologies such as Terrain Response, which made off-roading much more accessible. The Discovery XXV Special Edition is the ultimate in sophisticated versatility and a fitting tribute to the legendary status of this iconic Land Rover."

The XXV Special Edition builds on the Discovery's luxurious HSE specification, to create a sophisticated and premium interior. Features such as the fascia, the instrument panel binnacle and door top rolls are lined with Windsor leather. There is a choice of three interior leather colourway options. Additional luxurious highlights include twist pile carpet mats and a leather-wrapped wooden steering wheel, while subtle XXV embossing throughout adds to the high-quality British workmanship of the XXV Special Edition.
