Why the Land Rover Discovery Is Still Around—and What’s New in 2025

Even though the Land Rover Discovery 5 has been around for quite some time, it is still alive and kicking. Land Rover is keeping it fresh with the introduction of two new special editions, giving buyers even more reason to look beyond the Defender.

The first one is called the Tempest, and it is all about premium appeal. It wears a matte protective wrap that adds a rugged, stealthy look, paired with a Petra Copper Gloss roof and trim. That same copper color flows onto the massive 22-inch diamond-turned wheels. Step inside, and you get a lot of black leather, brushed aluminum touches, and exclusive Tempest badging.

The name Tempest actually comes from a secret development project that led to the second-generation Discovery, which adds a fun bit of trivia.

Then there is the Gemini edition, which takes its name from the codename of the 2.5-liter diesel engine used in the very first Discovery back in 1989. It comes in six exterior colors, but the standout is a bold Sedona Red, exclusive to this version. It also features a contrast black roof, 21-inch silver wheels, and family-friendly gear like rear seat media holders, three-zone climate control, and even a mini fridge between the front seats.

Every Discovery now uses a mild hybrid 3.0-liter inline-six diesel engine making 345 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque. Pricing in the United Kingdom starts at £64,810. The Gemini is priced at £72,505, while the flagship Tempest will cost £83,720 before any extras.

Land Rover is also offering lifestyle accessory packs, like Beach Days with rubber mats and a roof rack, Road Trip with a roof box and wind deflectors, and Snow Days which includes ski carriers and snow traction systems.
