According to Khabar Khodro, This is the facelifted Land Rover Discovery 4, which follows hot on the heels of the revised Range Rover Evoque and new Range Rover Hybrid. The new model will make its public debut alongside these models at the Frankfurt Motor Show, and order books are open now.
The 2014 seven-seat Discovery has a new front end, plus more clever safety tech. It also gets intelligent stop-start to boost efficiency.
The revised model will now be known simply as the Land Rover Discovery, dropping the number four.
There’s also a fresh bumper, new headlamps and revised LED running lights. Completing the visual makeover are two new alloy wheel designs.
The addition of stop-start cuts the 3.0-litre diesel’s CO2 emissions to 213g/km and boosts economy to 35.3mpg.
Power remains unchanged at 253bhp, with 600Nm of torque, and all models still get the eight-speed auto box. The 0-60mph time remains at 8.8 seconds.
Also on the options list is blind-spot monitoring and T-junction cameras, plus the Range Rover’s 17-speaker Meridian sound system.
