Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE Luxury Special Edition

This Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE Luxury Special Edition is currently being showcased in New York as it represents some of the best features of the brand.

One way to distinguish it from the common Discoveries is looking at the exterior – silver roof rails, silver capped mirrors, a silver grille surround and silver fender vents. That may be too much silver for you but Land Rover say every segment is a different shade of the color, and if they say so...anyways. The door handles are coordinated with the body color (Santorini Black) while the rear bumper has a stainless steel step. As a finishing touch, the Discovery lays on a set of 20-inch 10-spoked alloy wheels. If you happen to miss all of those details, there's a badge on the tailgate that lets you know...that you have missed them.

Inside, a feast of leather, Ivory or Ebony, welcomes us. If the quantity is deemed insufficient, more Windsor leather can be added on top of the dashboard binnacle, the door top rolls, armrests and pull Dark Zebrano veneer can be found here and there and the floor mats have contrasting edges – thrilling.

It's not all 19th century appeal though. If, let's say, you want to burst the windshield open from the inside, try turning up the 825W Harman/Kardon® LOGIC7® Premium Audio system. At the back, 8-inch screens and wireless headphones will keep the kids preoccupied trough the medium of multimedia.

For power, the HSE Luxury uses the sturdy Land Rover 256PS SDV6 diesel engine that's mated to a super-efficient ZF HP70 8-speed automatic gearbox. 0-60mph is done in 8.8 seconds and the top speed is at 112 mph.

The price one has to pay for this luxurious SUV is $90,490. Better start saving now. Sales start in July this year.
