Land Rover Discovery 3 2009 makes global debut in Geneva.
Gaydon, Warwickshire, March 2008
The 2009 Land Rover Discovery 3 will make its global debut at the 78e
Salon International de l'Automobile, Geneva (March 6-16, 2008). 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 on higher trim levels [SE and HSE
–application varies by market]. 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 on higher trim levels, 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.
Phil Popham, Land Rover 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 to build on the
Discovery 3's unique position as one of the most versatile vehicles in
the world - on-road refinement to rival executive saloons, flexibility
to surpass people carriers and class-leading all terrain capability."
