The Discovery 2, as it was sold on some markets was actually a facelift of the Mark 1, with minor modifications on the car’s appearance and an upgrade in engine size.
The diesel was moved from 2.5 to 3.0 litres and the V8 from 3.5 to 3.9 litres. The new models had larger headlamps and a whole new set of lights on the rear bumper. For the models that were sold to the Us starting with 1995, Land Rover had to fit airbags in order to meet American safety regulations. another big upgrade with this series was the introduction of the permanent four-wheel drive system which was equipped with a lockable center differential.
