The facelifted Land Rover Discovery was spotted testing
It was spied in the Alps alongside the current model
Seeing the two models side by side, some obvious changes to the facelifted model can be seen
A larger, more prominent front grille is the most obvious change
The front light cluster is still disguised
New indicator stalks and mirrors can also be seen

Land Rover's facelifted Discovery has been spotted testing in the Alps alongside the current model.

We already know the Land Rover Discovery 4 is in-line for a light nip and tuck for the 2014 model year, with the facelifted model going on sale in September.

Obvious changes on the car include a new front light cluster - possible echoing that of the new Range Rover's LED unit - and a larger, more prominent front grille. New indicator stalks and side mirrors can also be seen.

Other revisions are expected to be minor, with new alloy wheel designs, trim level revisions, and economy and CO2 tweaks.
