Land Rover Keeps The Aging Discovery Alive With New Landmark Trim

A Familiar SUV Gets a Refreshed Future

The current Land Rover Discovery is closing in on a decade of service. But rather than sending the seven-seater out to pasture, Land Rover has breathed new life into the old workhorse, shuffling the lineup and dropping in a fresh trim that slides right between the familiar faces.

The refreshed range now consists of three distinct models: the new Discovery Landmark, the flagship Discovery Tempest, and the entry-level Discovery S.

The Discovery badge has been kicking around since 1989, and it’s still one of the rare luxury SUVs that actually delivers real seven-seat practicality and proper off-road chops. There’s no official word yet on a next-gen Discovery, but this latest refresh makes it clear Land Rover isn’t ready to let the current model fade into the background just yet.

The Newest Member of the Family

The headline act here is the Discovery Landmark, a 2026 special that tips its hat to the model’s roots while piling on exclusive styling and gear.

The headlining feature here is the new Tasman Blue metallic paint, a shade you’ll only find on the Landmark and a clear nod to the original Clearwater Blue that graced the very first Discovery back in 1989. Add in Graphite Atlas accents on the grille, side vents, and Discovery badging, plus Carpathian Grey skid plates and a set of 21-inch Dark Agate Grey alloys, and you’ve got an SUV that stands out in any parking lot.

Land Rover didn’t stop there. The Landmark gets a handful of throwback details, including a special wordmark and mountain logo that pop up everywhere from the tread plates and B-pillars to the center console – and even light up the ground through the puddle lamps when you open the doors.

Inside, you’ll find dark grey brushed aluminum trim with exclusive branding, Tech Velour on the dash and doors, a panoramic sliding sunroof, and even a center console fridge – perfect for keeping snacks cool on those long family hauls.

The Entry-Level and the Flagship

The Discovery Tempest still sits at the top of the pile as the most luxurious option. For 2026, it gets its own exclusive Borasco Grey paint, with Petra Copper touches on the roof, side vents, Discovery badges, tow-eye covers, and massive 22-inch wheels. Inside, buyers can pick between new Light Oyster or Caraway color schemes, both finished off with Windsor leather for that extra plush feel.

At the other end, the Discovery S holds down the entry-level spot. Even as the most wallet-friendly option, it still packs in Duoleather seats, wireless phone charging, up to nine USB ports, and enough storage cubbies to keep any family organized. The refreshed lineup also keeps all the off-road goodies you’d expect, like Terrain Response 2, All Terrain Progress Control, a 900-mm wading depth, and a towing capacity of up to 3,500 kg – so it’s still ready for adventure.

Depending on where you are, the Discovery lineup offers a choice of six-cylinder Ingenium engines: D249 and D350 diesels, or the P360 gasoline version. The updated models are already up for grabs in some markets, but Land Rover is still keeping quiet about pricing, particularly in the US.
