主機殼測試標誌著該專案若要替換所有新的模型為神行者 2 的開始。路虎工程師已作為基於 Evoque 騾子顯示這些間諜照片新神行者 3,開始工作。更長的軸距和增加的乘坐高度揭示這作為早期的工程樣機,可能被用來測試新的懸架元件和懸架的幾何。 神行者是目前路虎品牌的暢銷車型。這是 2006 年在它的當前形式推出,為 2013年給予一個溫和的改造。第三代模型預計將在 2015 年初發售。它有望從當前的神行者,將提供更大的涉水深度、 更好的室內包裝和改進了引導空間邁出的重大一步。 新神行者基於同一個 LR MS 平臺作為 Evoque。它被開發從福特 EUCD 平臺支撐當前神行者,雖然路虎說 90%的部分是新。 神行者 3s 軸距預計將超過 150 毫米長於 Evoques 和預計為 7 座版開闢道路。它將配備 JLRs 所有新、 超級節儉 Hotfire 四缸引擎,這將建立一家新工廠在伍爾弗漢普頓附近。 新神行者預計應從材料,與幾乎所有的平臺和身體上部由高強度鋼製成的混合物。屋頂和邦尼特將鋁和前翼和尾板有可能由複合材料製成。 入門級、 前輪驅動神行者 3 預計將有 CO2 評級的短短的 119 克/公里。 Chassis testing marks beginning of the project to replace Freelander 2 with an all-new model. Land Rover engineers have started work on the new Freelander 3, as these spy shots of the Evoque-based mule show. The longer wheelbase and increased ride height reveal this as an early engineering prototype, probably being used to test new suspension components and suspension geometry. The Freelander is currently the Land Rover marque's best-selling model. It was launched in its current form in 2006 and given a mild makeover for 2013. The third-gen model is expected to go on sale in early 2015. It promises to be a significant step forward from the current Freelander, offering greater wading depth, better interior packaging and improved boot space. The new Freelander is based on the same LR-MS platform as the Evoque. It was developed from the Ford EUCD platform that underpins the current Freelander, although Land Rover says 90 per cent of the parts are new. The Freelander 3s wheelbase is expected to be more than 150mm longer than the Evoques and is expected to open the way for a seven-seat version. It will be fitted with JLRs all-new, super-frugal Hotfire four-cylinder engines, which will be built at a new plant near Wolverhampton. The new Freelander is expected to be made from a mixture of materials, with nearly all of the platform and upper body made from high-strength steel. The roof and bonnet will be aluminium and the front wings and tailgate are likely to be made from composites. The entry-level, front-wheel-drive Freelander 3 is expected to have a CO2 rating of as little as 119g/km.
