Good find
The interesting visual bits:
Land Rover will ditch the fairy-light style LED running lights dotted around the current car’s light clusters – look out for slim LED strips instead, like you’ll find on the Range Rover Evoque and new Range Rover.
The grille shape has also been lightly modified, with elliptical cut-outs for the headlights....... always on the road less travelled 🚧

The fact that the headlamps are disguised and they say the are getting rid of the fairy lights, and with the Evoque and new RR have similar ones I wonder if the D4 will look like this

Lights 'appear' interchangeable though there seems to be a little more intrusion into the grill 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Just noticed the indicators in the door mirrors.
Also, this mule appears to be driving on the Queens highway, yet the front indicators aren't visible, unless they shine through the phsyco covering.
Number plate near horizontal on dashboard not very legal either ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

I wonder if the new LEDs will also be "Daylights"

If they do resemble the Evoque and RR I would expect them to be to keep the family likeness Cheers Ian

If you zoom in on the picture it looks like the headlight no longer is rounded to accentuate the high beam lamp. It looks to angle over towards the grill then cut straight down.16 D4 Landmark

That is more a little Botox shot rather than a face lift

Land Rover's Discovery is getting supercharged V6 power, for the 2014 model year. The engine will replace the naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 in some markets
2013 FTW! I want my V8!
So glad I got mine in 2013.

Dropping the N/A V8 is not a good idea, not sure where the article writer got his power figures as the 2014 RR figures are very different
The V8 produces 375 horsepower and 375 pound-feet of torque, the supercharged V6 gets 340 hp and 332 lb-ft.

It must be great to live in a country where fuel prices mean a V8 or V6 SC are even worth considering. I find my 3.0TDV6 hard enough to run
