Land Rover has introduced a new special edition for the Discovery lineup, the company announced. The 2023 Discovery Metropolitan Edition features a suite of technologies to enhance the comfort and convenience provided by the seven-seat family SUV, the company said.
Sitting at the top of the Discovery line-up, the new Metropolitan Edition provides a host of exterior upgrades and standard features, including a powerful 355-horsepower, 3.0-liter Ingenium six-cylinder powertrain, featuring 48V mild hybrid technology.
“The introduction of the Metropolitan Edition brings a new level of premium appeal to the Land Rover Discovery,” said Finbar McFall, Land Rover brand director. “The special edition model represents the flagship of the line-up and builds on the appeal of the R-Dynamic specification with exterior design enhancements and a suite of convenience-boosting technologies.”
The new Metropolitan Edition builds on the R-Dynamic HSE model with Bright Atlas detailing for the grill and Discovery lettering. This is complemented by Hakuba Silver lower bumper inserts, 22-inch Diamond Turned alloy wheels with Gloss Grey detailing and Black Land Rover brake calipers.
Standard features inside include a heads-up display, heated steering wheel, powered and heated third row seating, a front cooler compartment and four-zone climate control. The cabin is also enhanced with Titanium Mesh trim detailing.
Elsewhere in the Discovery line-up, the R-Dynamic model now features a Gloss Black contrast roof as standard. Additionally, wireless device charging, heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, Meridian Sound System and three-zone climate control are now fitted standard across the wider Discovery model range.
The Discovery family is also available with Land Rover’s Cabin Air Purification with PM2.5 air filtration, which monitors air quality inside and filters out harmful particulates.
