United Kingdom 2009 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Lago Grey

I can't quite read the text in your scans, but I think we can safely assume that this is just another Autocar photoshop of how such a thing might look. See, for example, the shut line of the rear door and how it relates to the C pillar and wheelarch - that can't be right. Plus it says Land Rover on the bonnet, not the model name which is now standard for the company. This just looks like a re-hash of old news.

heard a year or so back the "Freelander" name wasn't dead in the water

The car will be if it goes along with the current pricing structure JLR are going for

But as said before the car wont look like Autocars mock up, just looks like a rehash of their defender ones Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

They haven't even bothered to change the backgrounds or the registrations for the red and silver pics. Amateurs! Laughing

This mock up first appeared in 2015 so I think it's safe to say that a new Freelander is not on the horizon. JLR will of course keep the name to avoid another manufacturer taking it on

As long as people are interested in what might be around the corner, magazines like Autocar and AutoExpress will be willing to invent as much of this stuff as the market demands! Laughing

LR will have copyrighted the Freelander name anyway so nobody else can use it unless they buy the rights.

Scotland 2014 Freelander 2 TD4_e Dynamic Manual Fuji White

Freelander was JLR’s most realible model till date and the best seller for years until the evoque took over sales. Then is was the 2nd best seller until 2015 when it seized production. Like Nick says I’ve heard strong murmurs also about the name making a comeback. Time will tell Whistle MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior

i heard it via a good friend and forum member who was caravanning on a site with a Disco5 owner who worked at JLR, who told him whilst chatting, (most likely whilst emptying his toilet Very Happy )

can't see it been anywhere soon, and most likely after we have jumped ship to other brands, so will ahve to be extra special to temp us back and pay JLR prices from out pensions Neutral Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

The Australian version maybe. Common sense isn't very common.

Was the right way up when I added it lol 😂
Mind you if we went off road more this would probably be the position most of us would end up in 😁

There’s a lot of use of the word “could” in the article 😝 32 years / 25 Vehicles

Land Rover have made it public knowledge through their long term product plan that there will be a smaller Evoque and something below the Discosport. Looking forward to seeing them soon. Whether it will be called a Freelander is a different question entirely
