Currently reading: Moscow motor show 2012: Facelifted Land Rover Freelander spied
New Freelander's exterior changes are mostly limited to new tail and headlights, which will switch to LEDs

A revised version of the Land Rover Freelander will be launched at next month’s Moscow motor show.

Exterior changes are mostly limited to new tail and headlights, which will switch to LEDs and are expected to give the car a look a little closer to that of the new Range Rover.

Interior changes are more extensive, and include revisions to the design of the instrument panel, the centre console and the switchgear.

There is no word yet from Land Rover on engine or chassis tweaks, but the 237bhp 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine from the Evoque may be added to the current diesel-only line-up.

The Land Rover Freelander is classy and comfortable, but potentially pricey

LR's Forgotten Model?

With all the excitement about the Evoque and new Range Rover I almost forgot Land Rover was still making the Freelander.

Possibly one of the most subtle exterior face-lifts I've seen in some time. Surprised there isn't a least a little more tweeking to be honest, though Land Rover is hardly the King of design evolution.

Adding the the turbo-petrol from the Evoque seems a rather fruitless exercise for the UK market, but I'm sure the Far East will love it.
