2014 Land Rover Discovery facelift returns in spy photo session

A barely disguised prototype of the 2014 Land Rover Discovery facelifted model has been spied just ahead of its official debut.

Land Rover will install slim LED strips on the facelifted model as can be seen on the new Range Rover and Evoque. In addition to that, the shape of the front grille will also be slightly modified as it will have elliptical cut-outs for the headlights. They have also tweaked the fog lights and moved the turn signals into the exterior mirrors, while at the rear the only change will be in the taillight configuration.

In terms of power, the same will be provided by the supercharged V6 3.0-liter engine from the Jaguar F-Type S and it will be able to generate the same 380 HP (279 kW). This engine is a replacement for the bigger and thirstier V8 5.0 naturally aspirated engine and will work at first combined with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission gearbox but later on it will be replaced by a nine-speed auto box.

The facelifted 2014 Land Rover Discovery will be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show which will be held in September in Germany.
