Available solely in the 5-door 110 bodystyle, the Defender Trophy Edition is inspired by yesteryear’s Camel Trophy Editions from Land Rover.

Buyers can also opt for a matte protective film to protect the paint finish.

Buyers get the option to also opt for more adventure-oriented accessories for the Trophy Edition, such as a snorkel, mud flaps, a roof carrier, side-mounted gear carriers and a roof ladder for easy access to the roof carrier. Buyers can also choose between all-season and all-terrain tyres for the SUV.

The cabin, meanwhile, features black leather upholstery with features on offer including auto headlamps and wipers, three-zone climate control, configurable ambient lighting, a 13.1-inch touchscreen, Terrain Response modes, a 360-degree camera and more.

The differences between the special editions and the standard model come down to the cosmetics, with the Gemini Edition getting a unique Sedona Red paint finish, a gloss black roof, along with exterior trim elements finished in silver. Rounding out the exterior are 21-inch alloy wheels. Buyers, however, do get the option to pick from a range of exterior colour options from the standard Discovery, along with a range of wheels in 20-inch, 21-inch and 22-inch sizes for customisation. The cabin, meanwhile, can be opted in either black or ivory upholstery.
