Clue to the Landmark edition being a final sashay for Land Rover’s well-aged SUV is in the name.

EFFORT to keep its elderly Discovery sports utility wagon in the fray for a bit longer will see Land Rover’s local distributor begin supply of a fresh special edition by year-end, but it seems likely to be the last of it’s kind.

Pricing and final specification of the Landmark variant of the make’s seven chair family wagon have yet to share, but it’s not a big story.

Aside from a new hue, Tasman Blue, paint it seems to have relatively few additional features and details to add to a design that dates back to 2017.

The car having to step up a new Driver Attention Monitor, which comprises a driver-facing camera, is an unavoidable requirement to meet latest safety standards.

Otherwise, most of the information shared today relates to Land Rover drawing on heritage features from previous Discovery models in order to perk up appeal.

However, overseas media are saying it’s the final roll of the dice for the current car, with the clue being in its designation name. Landmark reprises a name used by previous run-out models.

Said Britain’s Autocar magazine today: “Landmark was previously used for run-out editions of the Discovery 2, 3 and 4 in their final months of production – suggesting that the end could finally be near for the fifth iteration.”

Siting below the only other Disco still here, the Tempest, the Landmark comes in a bespoke shade of Tasman Blue paint that nods to the original Disco 1's Clearwater blue, and is marked out from its range-mates with a raft of bespoke styling cues inside and out.

A unique wordmark and mountain logo featured on the front tread plates, centre console, circular B-pillar insert and puddle lamp projectors, paying homage to previous Discovery models which bore the same detailing.

Standard kit on the Landmark includes a sliding panoramic sunroof, a fridge in the centre console and 21-inch wheels.

All versions come exclusively with the D350 straight-six diesel, the Discovery having dropped all petrol and PHEV powertrain options.

Autocar says details of the nameplate's future remain unconfirmed – with JLR focusing for now on the launch of the upcoming Range Rover Electric, the Defender Sport and Velar successor.

It says the company has hinted at plans to dramatically reposition Discovery to differentiate it from the vastly more popular Defender.
