Land Rover Discovery 3 Gets Facelift (UK)

<p>Gaydon, Warwickshire, 15 April 2008 &ndash; The new 2009 Land Rover Discovery 3 goes on sale in the UK in August, priced from &pound;29,950.  The eye-catching exterior revisions for 2009 add fresh refinement to the acclaimed exterior design &ndash; incorporating new front and rear body colour bumpers, body coloured wheel arches and revised exterior detailing.<br />
<br />
The pure and clean exterior design has been refined with a re-profiled front bumper, (body coloured on all models), and revised rear bumper and wheel arches, which are body coloured (standard on all passenger carrying derivatives).  The distinctive, asymmetric two-piece tailgate now comes with body coloured tailgate lift handle and the attention to detail continues with the revised 'tungsten' coloured side vent, 'tungsten' door handles, and clear-lens side repeaters across the range.<br />
<br />
A new 19-inch 7-spoke wheel style and three new exterior metallic paint colours &ndash; Santorini Black, Galway Green and Bournville [black with a hint of brown] &ndash; complete the exterior changes for 2009.  Interior upgrades include a new &lsquo;almond&rsquo; trim colour and an updated Bluetooth system.<br />
<br />
John Edwards, Land Rover UK managing director, comments; &quot;With almost 100 international awards to date, the Land Rover Discovery 3 has earned itself a reputation as the ultimate all purpose vehicle.  The latest revisions add to an already class-leading package, building on the Discovery 3's unique position as one of the most versatile vehicles on the market.&quot;<br />
