Land Rover goes to town with Discovery Metropolitan Edition

With revised styling and extra equipment, the £73,250 Metropolitan Edition is the new range-topping Land Rover Discovery.

The seven-seat Land Rover Discovery range has gained a new, fully-loaded special edition.

Badged as the Metropolitan Edition, Land Rover promises a ‘suite of technologies to enhance the comfort and convenience’ of the Discovery SUV.

It’s the new range-topper in the Discovery line-up, and boasts generous equipment inside and out.

Ready for the metropolis

Land Rover has based the Discovery Metropolitan Edition on the existing R-Dynamic HSE trim level.

A Bright Atlas finish is used for the front grille and ‘Discovery’ badge lettering, with Hakuba Silver detailing on the lower bumper. Metropolitan Editions also gain a set of 22-inch Diamond Turned alloy wheels, featuring Gloss Grey inserts. 

Black Land Rover-branded brake calipers, privacy glass and a sliding panoramic sunroof are included, too.

On the inside, all Metropolitan Editions have interior trim finished in titanium mesh. Standard equipment includes a head-up display, heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging and four-zone climate control.

Buyers can choose from petrol or diesel engines. Both the D300 Ingenium diesel and P360 Ingenium petrol come with 48-volt mild hybrid technology.

The Metropolitan Edition’s £73,250 price tag cements its place at the top of the Discovery range. Orders for the most-expensive Discovery can be placed now.

Business class for the Discovery Commercial

Land Rover has also added a new degree of luxury to the Discovery Commercial van

The Commercial, capable of carrying 2,024 litres of cargo, can now be ordered in R-Dynamic specification. This includes gloss black detailing for the front grille, smoked rear lights and standard 20-inch alloy wheels.

Internally, R-Dynamic trim means seats finished in Ebony with contrasting trim, a black headlining and bright metal paddles for the auto transmission.
