The Range Rover Sport, which was introduced in 2005, gets its first significant refresh for the 2010 model year. A new front-end design features a lower grille, new headlamps with LED lights arranged in a Gatling-gun style, a new front bumper, and new front fenders with restyled side vents (the styling clich of the moment).

The current-generation Range Rover has already had one minor refresh, and for 2010 it gets another one. This update is pretty minor on the outside--with LEDs in the headlamps and the taillamps and a slightly restyled bumper--but it's more substantial under the skin. The same two new engines in the 2010 Range Rover Sport appear here, along with adaptive dampers and a new Dynamic mode for the Terrain Response System, both of which are in the new Range Rover Sport Supercharged as well.

For 2010, the Land Rover LR3 becomes the LR4 (by Land Rover's count it's the fourth generation of the Discovery, as the vehicle is known in other markets). The difference between the LR3 and the LR4 might not be immediately apparent to the casual onlooker. There's a new grille, a new front bumper, and new LED headlamps.
