Our friends at Jaguar Land Rover are keeping busy these days. With multiple vehicles under development for Land Rover, it's gotta be a bit hectic over there. That's because we've seen at least three different versions of what is rumored to be the Freelander's replacement.
Of course one of them could be the all-new Jaguar CX17 under wraps but we cannot be sure.
This time though, it seems more information has been leaked out — or speculated — by the U.K's Auto Express. According to the auto pub, it has shots of the upcoming Discovery Sport set to appear at the 2014 Paris Motor Show come October. First time I am hearing about the Discovery Sport.

Stay tuned, we'll keep an eye out for this.

The image reveals that the Discovery Sport will tone down much of the futuristic, minimalist design that featured on the Land Rover Discovery Vision concept car revealed at the 2014 New York Motor Show. However, familiar Land Rover cabin cues remain, like the large central touchscreen display, the tall, upright dashboard, and the hooded instrument dials fitted into deep Evoque-style lenses...
