Gaydon, Warwickshire, 15 April 2008 - The new 2009 Land Rover Discovery 3 goes on sale in the UK in August, priced from £29,950.  The eye-catching exterior revisions for 2009 add fresh refinement to the acclaimed exterior design - incorporating new front and rear body colour bumpers, body coloured wheel arches and revised exterior detailing.

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. 

A new 19-inch 7-spoke wheel style and three new exterior metallic paint colours - Santorini Black, Galway Green and Bournville [black with a hint of brown] - complete the exterior changes for 2009.  Interior upgrades include a new 'almond' trim colour and an updated Bluetooth system.
 
John Edwards, Land Rover UK managing director, comments; "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."

The new 2009 Discovery 3 receives its UK debut at the British International Motor Show which opens on July 23, 2008.
