Bolstering the range of their ever popular luxury seven-seater, British firm Land Rover has released a unique version of their Discovery. Called the Metropolitan Edition, the classy Brit sits right at the top of the line-up and, according to the manufacturer, “features a suite of technologies to enhance the comfort and convenience” of the model.
Building on the already impressive standard specification enjoyed by the R-Dynamic HSE, the special edition boasts a head-up display, heated steering wheel, four-zone climate control, a front cooler compartment and wireless phone charging. Titanium Mesh trim gives the classy cabin a contemporary feel.
Making the Metropolitan Edition stand out from the crowd are the unique 22-inch Diamond turned alloy wheels, black brake calipers and a panoramic sunroof. Privacy glass, Hakuba Silver bumper inserts and Bright Atlas grille detailing finishes everything off nicely.
Land Rover says the range-topping Discovery will be made available in the first half of 2022. Expect pricing and more details to be released closer to the time.
