Chassis test markerer begyndelsen af projektet for at erstatte Freelander 2 med en helt ny model. Land Rover ingeniører er begyndt at arbejde på den nye Freelander 3, da disse spion skud af Evoque-baseret muldyr vis. Den længere akselafstand og øget ride height afslører dette som en tidlig teknik prototype, som nok bliver brugt til at teste nye suspension komponenter og suspension geometri. Freelander er i øjeblikket det Land Rover marque ' s bedst sælgende model. Det blev lanceret i sin nuværende form i 2006 og gives en mild makeover for 2013. Den tredje-gen model forventes at gå til salg i begyndelsen af 2015. Det tegner til at blive et vigtigt skridt fremad fra det nuværende Freelander, der tilbyder større vader dybde, bedre indvendig emballage og forbedret boot-plads. Den nye Freelander er baseret på den samme LR-MS platform som Evoque. Det blev udviklet fra Ford EUCD platform, der understøtter den aktuelle Freelander, selv om Land Rover siger, at 90% af de dele, der er nye. Freelander 3s akselafstand forventes at blive mere end 150mm længere end Evoques og forventes at åbne vejen for en syv-håndet version. Det vil være udstyret med JLRs helt ny, super-sparsommelig Hotfire fire-cylinder motorer, der vil blive bygget på en ny fabrik i nærheden af Wolverhampton. Den nye Freelander forventes at være lavet af en blanding af materialer, med næsten hele platformen og overkroppen, der er lavet af højstyrke stål. Tag og motorhjelm vil være af aluminium, og den forreste vinger og bagklap er tilbøjelige til at være lavet af kompositmaterialer. Den entry-level, front-wheel-drive Freelander 3 forventes at have en CO2-rating af så lidt som 119g/km. 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.
