As far as I'm aware, there are no changes to the sheetmetal of the car at all - lights are different, front bumper looks slightly different (vents etc.). Externally only minor changes; internally the adoption of the Velar-style dual screens, wheel buttons etc. |

Seems clear in this picture from the Technical Manual that the new lights are the same size and shape:

I was told that the vehicle facelift has been specifically designed so it is VERY difficult/expensive for people to 'facelift' Gen 1 L405s. LR really weren't happy with what happened to the L322. |

@ Trommel - having seen the back lights, I think you're right, but the way that they've been redesigned, they look a lot bulkier, even if it's no more than an optical illusion |

At the IAA motor show in Frankfurt they said that the facelift 2018 L405 will be announced in October. Only a few week to go... |

Will the facelift and the PHEV be shown on Wednesday? I haven't seen any notification of such an event? |

Think it’s 300 bhp Ingenium plus ~100 bhp electric according to what was said at Frankfurt. |

That autocar piece was very badly written. It even contradicts itself. They should just get rid of that author, he's useless. |

Looks like the Velar interior - unsurprisingly. |
