What do you get for the money? A sportier looking SUV! For starters, the Landmark Edition is available in three ‘exclusive’ colours - Narvik Black, Yulong White and Corris Grey. No matter which colour you pick, Land Rover will paint the roof in a dark Carpathian Grey shade. You also get a sporty-looking front bumper as well as 18-inch alloy wheels to round things off.

On the inside, there are subtle updates. The centre-stack gets dark grey aluminium trims instead of brushed aluminium ones, while the leather upholstery and the headliner are now finished in black.

Under the hood is a 2.0-litre Ingenium diesel motor that makes 180PS of power and 430Nm of torque. That’s enough to get the Discovery Sport up to 100kmph in 9.9 seconds, and on to a top speed of 188kmph. There’s Land Rover’s Terrain Response tech too, just in case you plan on getting adventurous with your luxury SUV.

Land Rover’s Discovery Sport offers a unique proposition - the practicality of optional seven seats - as it battles the BMW X3, Audi Q5, Volvo XC60 and the Mercedes-Benz GLC.
