As far as the interior is concerned, customers can now specify their Discovery with Ebony/Cirrus Dual-tone Windsor Leather seats that were first offered in the XXV edition. You can also choose between two different wooden inserts for the leather wrapped steering wheel - Grand Black Lacquer and Grained Walnut - with optional matching wooden veneer trims on the dashboard.

The 2015 range comes equipped with a standard InControl App which can run certain smartphone apps on the vehicle's multimedia infotainment display.
