I've been led to believe that Landmark and Graphite are the final versions.

Spoke to my salesman today and he said it's a good job I bought my SE now as I would only have the option of Landmark or entry level graphite at £48k. 23.5MY Defender 90 X-Dynamic SE D250 MHEV Pangea Green

Surely they would keep the full line up in major markets, you'd expect one last push to squeeze as many sales out of the model as possible. I would have expected some limited editions including a metropolis and a flurry of finance offers.
Thinking out loud. Would they be able to simplify the lineup and keep it going a bit longer until the defender arrives? maybe with a push on lesser spec models and commercials? MY06 S - Gone but not forgotten
MY12 HSE - Gone
MY16 HSE Luxury - Sold
MY20 D5 HSE - Sold

I'm breathing a very similar sigh of relief. If only Graphite or Landmark are all that's available, neither would have done us  2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

A lot of Freelander 2 owners were asking the very same question a year or so ago. With no direct replacement for the FL2, a lot of people wanted a reduced range of them to remain available. It didn't happen  2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8

Been on the French Land Rover site to look at the configuration of the HSE I have on order...and the S, SE, HSE and HSE Lux are no longer offered.
For the French market, at least, they are running out the last few Disco 4s as "Graphite" (TDV6 engine and roughly an SE) or "Landmark" (SDV6 as a French spec HSE + electric roof, cooler centre console, parts of the Black Pack, silver roof rails and 511 style wheels). Landmark available in Tan Leather (yuk!!!) & only Zanzibar Gold (yuk!!!) + 4 other colours.
Think Land Rover must have lost the plot  !!!
I've just been back and noticed another problem withe the Landmark. What I glanced at and thought was Fufi White is, in fact, the Yulong White. Therefore, not only are none of them acceptable to us, but there isn't even a single no cost option (a wide range of metallics and white were FOC on the HSE before) 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4

They must think their customers are stupid...
Gold / Butterscotch, paint at 900 Euros (must be £600 in the UK) or Waitomo Gray (3 shades north of Indus) as premium and 1800 Euros (£1200 in the UK).
At these prices they ought to be galvanising the bodies and selling them as 'back to the future silver'!!!

Speaking to the dealers in Bordeaux yesterday whilst collecting my new HSE (see my other posts) they say the Graphite and Landmark are limited editions, limited to 85 cars for the whole of France (when there are 120 dealers).
They are not sure currently whether there will be any more Discovery '4's thereafter.
Seems like it might be the opposite to when I bought an Alfa 156 in 2006, well after the 156 had disappeared from the rest of Europe.

Fortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case. The configurator is currently showing the proper full range PLUS the Graphite and Landmark.

The main page has all the models but i found that once you start to configure SE, SE Tech HSE and HSE Lux all disappear. Still a bit of page updating to do I guess.

You must be looking at a different website Ridgers. I've just "built" an SE Tech identical to my current model and it was no problem.
