“Love the visibility of this car/SUV/truck. Great new V-6 engine much improved from previous years. Handling is hands above prior years as well (previously owned 2012 LR4). Came down to the package (Landmark) and the interior styling. Love this car.”
2016 Land Rover LR4: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 13, 2026
The main change for the 2016 LR4 is the addition of the HSE Silver Edition and Landmark Edition, two feature-heavy special editions. The rest is a light update, with a refreshed infotainment home screen and no mechanical changes.
About the 2016 Land Rover LR4
Discovery 4 / LR4 generation (2010-2016 in the U.S.), final model year.
Land Rover sold the LR4 as a full-size luxury SUV for buyers who wanted real off-road ability without giving up family space. Its upright shape, large windows, available adult-friendly third row, height-adjustable air suspension, and Terrain Response system separated it from softer road-focused luxury crossovers. More than flashy tech, the LR4’s appeal was commanding visibility, towing strength, and the ability to handle rough trails while still feeling upscale on pavement.
The 2016 LR4 ranges from a well-equipped base model with full-time 4WD and height-adjustable air suspension to family-focused HSE and more luxurious HSE LUX versions. The new Silver Edition bundles seven-seat versatility, upgraded Meridian audio, and extra driver aids, while the Landmark Edition adds premium leather, heated seating, and distinctive exterior details. Every trim uses the same 340-hp supercharged V6 and eight-speed automatic.
