Hot News: New Land Rover
Autocar has learned that Land Rover will be boosting its range with the addition of a new seven-seat model, coming in 2012.
Insiders at Land Rover know the seven-seater as ‘Project L486’ and the new model is based on the Freelander platform. The car will have unique bodywork, styling and interior to mark it out as being more than a Freelander variant.
The standard Freelander platform will need to be heavily modified, with an extended wheelbase to make room for the seven-seat configuration. The new model is likely to be closer in size to the Discovery than the Freelander.
The seven-seater fits in to Land Rover’s range as a more road-focused car than the Discovery, with a lower kerbweight, sharper chassis, better fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions.
It will have the Freelander’s front-biased four-wheel drive system with a centre diff to send torque to the slipping wheels. Other off-road aids will include hill descent control, traction control and stability control, all operated via the Terrain Response switch in the cabin.

Land Rover has balls to base their Flagship Vehicle off the shit box entry level Freelander. I cant way to see the price of this glorified Freelander.

Flagship vehicle? Are you retarded? It's essentially going to be a 7-seater Freelander2.

The Flagship is the Range Rover.

Actually, the 'glorified Freelander' will make for an EXCELLENT flagship.

With about 850 lbs less to lug than the 7 seat Disco, the Freelander will not only suck less gas, it'll go over 30 degree slopes more easily. It'll do Hill-descent better. It'll get out of a ditch easier. It'll be a bit less soccer mom when heading out to a mall. It'll hit the gas stops less frequently.

What's not to like about LIGHTER by 850lbs , over the 5,500 Lb Disco? What would YOU rather have- a 33 inch or a 43 inch waistline?

Do you know anything about off roading? Apparently not. Let's see you rock crawl w/o a low range transfer case.
