Land Rover has listed the Discovery facelift on its Indian website, indicating an imminent launch. The facelifted model was launched globally last year itself. It has undergone a significant cosmetic makeover and gets more technology and features as well as six-cylinder mild-hybrid engines. 

Its exterior profile sees redesigned bumpers, a new front grille, new LED headlamps and tail lamps, and new alloy wheels. The front fascia has undergone a complete revamp, in line with the styling of the latest Discovery Sport. 

While the overall layout of the cabin remains unchanged, it sees several revisions.

The cabin looks less cluttered and more premium compared to the pre-facelift. 

The facelifted Land Rover Discovery will be offered with three engine options: two petrol and one diesel, now with 48V mild-hybrid technology. 

All three engines are offered with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and an AWD drivetrain. The top-spec D300 variant can sprint from 0-100kmph in 6.5 seconds. 

• Upcoming Cars Between Rs 50 Lakh And Rs 1 Crore

The updated model is expected to command a premium over the pre-facelift Discovery that was priced between Rs 75.59 lakh and Rs 87.99 lakh (ex-showroom). It will rival the Mercedes-Benz GLE, Volvo XC90 and BMW X5 in India.
