Here's the new D3......
It's Official! Auto Express can reveal the first pictures of Land Rover's new look Discovery.
Set to make its public debut at the London Motor Show in July the car will go on sale in August, priced from £29,950.
An evolution, rather than revolution in design, the newcomer gets a re-profiled front bumper, revised rear bumper and body coloured wheel arches.
The distinctive two-piece tailgate now comes with body coloured tailgate lift handle and the attention to detail continues with the revised 'tungsten' coloured side vents and door handles.
New 19-inch 7-spoke alloy wheels and three new exterior metallic paint colours – Santorini Black, Galway Green and Bournville will also be offered, while inside interior upgrades include a new ‘almond’ trim colour and an updated Bluetooth system.
Beautiful isn't it......

Wait till all the changes are put foreword, my 07 FFRR has only a few comestic external changes from my 03 FFRR but they could have made it a completely new model with all the other changes.
Changes like the TDV8, new front diff, changes to the interior and the upgraded electronics.
So they have probably done the same with the D3, we just have to wait to see what new features may be in the offering.

I wouldn't say they are going for a "Prado look" at all, to me it doesn't look that different to the current model.
I already had my bumpers and wheel arches colour coded, guess I'll have to do the tail gate lift handle too.

Couldn't even notice the diff.
Hate to say it but LR need to leave the plastic parts unpainted. The off-road scratches are going to only look worse on the wheel arches and front bumper.
Hope that the colour coding is an option. Give me the raw plastic anyday.

I have been offroad on a few occasions - rocky rutted tracks and 70cm deep creek crossings + a reasonable amount of beach work. I haven't experienced any scratches yet. With painted wheel arches I would reccommend front mudflaps though.
I understand why they are left raw and the advantages, I am not a massive offroader so the scratches are not a major concern of mine. I think it looks better and am happy with the little bit of individuality I get from it.
Each to their own

totally agree. I reckon it is a step backwards - but hey - its still the same fantastic beast underneath! (or is there a change mechanically?)
