The 2027 Land Rover Discovery Landmark has been confirmed for Australia, bringing a new trim level with a unique look to the brand’s long-running seven-seat SUV lineup.
Priced from $132,000 before on-road costs, the Discovery Landmark will sit in the middle of the local Discovery range, above the S but below the Tempest flagship. It fills the spot left by the previous Dynamic SE and Gemini trims.
The Landmark name has been used on previous Discovery special editions, including run-out variants of the Discovery 2, Discovery 3 and Discovery 4.
Its return has also fuelled speculation the current-generation Discovery, first launched in 2017, could be approaching the end of its lifecycle, although Land Rover hasn’t confirmed future plans for the model.

Unlike Europe, where the Landmark is available with D250 and D350 diesel engines, Australian buyers will only be offered the more powerful D350 3.0-litre mild-hybrid inline six-cylinder turbo-diesel powertrain, with outputs of 257kW and 700Nm.
This is currently the only engine offered in the local Discovery lineup.
A new Tasman Blue metallic paint finish is exclusive to the Landmark, a tribute to the Clearwater Blue colour offered on the original 1989 Discovery.
The special edition also features unique Landmark badging on the tread plates, centre console, B-pillars and puddle lamps, while exterior trim has been finished in Graphite Atlas. New 21-inch alloy wheels in a Dark Agate Grey finish and Carpathian Grey skid plates complete the exterior changes.
Inside, the Landmark gains Tech Velour trim across the dashboard and door panels, dark grey brushed aluminium detailing, a sliding panoramic sunroof, and a refrigerated centre console.
For 2027, Land Rover has also made a new Borasco Grey exterior finish exclusively available on the Tempest.
The flagship trim also gains Light Oyster and Caraway seat colours, with Ebony or Light Oyster Extended Windsor leather detailing.
Mechanically, the Discovery remains unchanged.
Australian examples continue with Land Rover’s D350 inline-six turbo-diesel, while retaining the model’s permanent four-wheel drive system, terrain response systems, and up to 900mm of wading depth.
Maximum braked towing capacity also remains at 3500kg.
Five factory accessory packs remain available, tailored to owners with dogs, bicycles, beach gear, winter sports equipment, or those planning long-distance road trips.
While reports from the UK have suggested the Landmark could mark the beginning of the end for the current Discovery, Land Rover has declined to comment on future product plans.
The Discovery is one of the oldest vehicles in the JLR stable, having been launched in 2017.
The company has previously indicated it wants to reposition the nameplate to better differentiate it from the increasingly popular Defender.
To the end of May, Land Rover has delivered 109 Discovery SUVs in Australia this year. The Defender range is outselling it by around 14-to-1.
