Land Rover Dropped Two New Special Editions To Celebrate 35 Years Of The Discovery
The Discovery Tempest and Discovery Gemini honor 35 years of a British off-roader icon Providing a unique take on the Discovery's versatile personality, the 2025 Land Rover Discovery Tempest and Discovery Gemini are striking special editions that further elevate the off-roader's distinct sense of charm. Where the Discovery Tempest aims to accentuate the model's penchant for luxury and its surprisingly sporty dynamics with satin paint and large-diameter wheels, the Discovery Gemini leans in the direction of the model's sophisticated-yet-sensible, family-oriented rigidity with its understated styling and added comfort features. Both special editions of the 2025 Land Rover Discovery aim to celebrate and emphasize the SUV's timeless versatility, seamlessly blending everyday comfort with off-road ruggedness, athletic excitement, and an unmatched sense of style. 2025 Land Rover Discovery Gemini — Source: Land Rover The 2025 Land Rover Discovery Gemini is all about understated comfort The 2025 Land Rover Discovery Gemini takes its name from the rugged turbodiesel engine that powered the original, 1989 Land Rover Discovery. The Gemini is available in six different paint colors, including Sedona Red, which it borrows from the Defender and is exclusive to this model, and pairs it with a black-painted roof for contrast. Gloss black paint is a theme throughout the rest of the Gemini's exterior styling as well, with the Discovery's lower body cladding, forward wing vents, and front grille surround all painted in stealthy black. Source: Land Rover Both of the 2025 Land Rover Discovery special editions get their own unique branding graphic, with the Gemini donning a double-hexagon pattern on its fuel filler cap, throughout the interior, and projecting it through its side door puddle lamps. Source: Land Rover With a focus on understated comfort, the 2025 Land Rover Discovery Gemini comes equipped as standard with a 'host of extra comfort and convenience features, including a cooler compartment located between the front seats, powered gesture tailgate and four-zone climate control.' The Discovery Gemini is what a Chelsea boot would look like if it magically became a car. Elegantly stylish, ruggedly capable, and dynamically versatile enough to take out for a light jog, the 2025 Land Rover Discovery Gemini is the perfect all-rounder to celebrate the model's history of seductively mating form with function, unlike anything else. The 2025 Land Rover Discovery Tempest celebrates the SUV's first-classman athleticism 2025 Land Rover Discovery Tempest — Source: Land Rover Land Rover calls the 2025 Land Rover Discovery Tempest 'the most luxurious, comfortable, and highly specified Discovery vehicle ever produced.' For the first time ever, the Land Rover Discovery can be specified from the factory with Matte Protective Film, offered over the top of either Charente Grey, Varesine Blue, or Carpathian Grey paint. Also standard is its visually striking Petra Copper Gloss roof, although a Navrik Gloss Black roof is optional. Source: Land Rover The 2025 Land Rover Discovery Tempest's 22-inch Diamond Turned wheels match the standard roof in their Petra Copper Gloss finish–a new colour for the Discovery lineup and one that is exclusive to the Discovery Tempest. According to Land Rover, the Tempest 'takes its name from the secret development launch program for the second‑generation Discovery vehicle launched in 1998.' Source: Land Rover Like the Discovery Gemini, the 2025 Land Rover Discovery Tempest gains its own unique badging–a spiral pattern which can be found on the Tempest's 'B-pillars, treadplates, puddle lamps, and interior finishers.' Other stylistic enhancements within the Discovery Tempest's cabin include Shadow Aluminum detailing and extended Ebony Windsor Leather upholstery. Final thoughts These two special edition Land Rover Discovery models celebrate 35 years of an icon with a pair of unique and visually striking SUVs. I do, however, wish that we could also see some more rugged editions of the Discovery, as those variants tend to be extremely popular with contemporary Defender buyers, and would likely have a similar effect on the Discovery's desirability. Regardless, and speaking as a Discovery owner myself, it's always nice to see Land Rover give much-needed attention to this model, and these unique special edition Discoveries excellently emphasize the model's signature ability to bind elegance with grit.
