Reports indicate that Land Rover is planning to facelift nearly its entire range later this year, including refreshed versions of the LR3, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport. Spy shots of the latter's test mules indicate that the updated luxury off-roaders will be distinguished by modest revisions to the bumpers, grille and headlamps, in addition to refreshed interiors.
The juicy news, however, is under the bonnet, where sources suggest the latest Jaguar engines will find their new home. In addition to Jaguar's 3.0-liter V6 turbodiesel that is
already confirmed to migrate to the Land Rovers, reports now indicate that the
XF's 5.0-liter V8 will feature in the update SUVs, including a torque-tuned take on the supercharged version from the
XFR for the most powerful Range Rovers. Considering that the engine propelled the XFR to a
top speed of 225 mph at Bonneville, we could be looking at one wickedly fast Range Rover when all is said and done.
