Compared to the last iteration of it, the new Land Rover Discovery comes with a set of minimal revisions, with all the dimensions of it remaining more or less the same. The SUV’s front fascia has been restyled subtly with a new front bumper and slimmer grille. In the higher variants, the Discovery now comes with Matrix LED headlamps. The side profile remains more or less the same, and while the trademark asymmetric layout of the rear door has been retained, the design is mildly retouched, along with a set of new LED tail lamps.
The more premium R-Design variant of the Land Rover Discovery comes with a set of different touches like gloss black touches to the front bumper, grille, rear view mirrors, roof, front and rear bumpers, body cladding and alloy wheels.
