The Land Rover Freelander has been around for quite some time now but recently some of the spy photographers have managed to capture some new images of its replacement.
The prototype is rumored to become part of the Discovery family and comes with an evolutionary design that borrows a number of cues from the Evoque and Range Rover Sport. The details are a little hard to indentify but we can see sweptback headlights, an upward sweeping shoulder line and a sloping roofline. The crossover also has a tailgate-mounted spoiler and a dual exhaust system.
Land Rover hasn’t given much detail about the crossover but it will allegedly ride on an extended version of the LR-MS platform that also underpins the Evoque. There have been reports earlier that have indicated that the model could use aluminum and composite body panels to reduce weight.
Details about engine options are also not available as of now but the crossover is slated to use a new range of four-cylinder petrols and diesels that would offer improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.
The Freelander replacement could be introduced sometime later this year and so we can expect to learn more in the coming months about the model.
