Now comes Land Rover Freelander to India. test prototype of the 2015 Land Rover Freelander was caught testing in India recently. The car was caught then with European number plates somewhere in Trivandrum, Kerala.

Today, there is another spyshot of the 2015 Land Rover Freelander. This car was caught testing by Robin M Das and was posted onto the Facebook fan page of ‘Exotics and Imports spotted in Kerala’. The car seems to be testing near the city of Trivandrum.

However, as you may have noticed, the number plate of this test mule is registered to the state of Kerala. That seems strange, but not something we’re focussing on.



What we’re focussing on is that the car is testing in Trivandrum. In the last post, we told you that Tata has an engineering center in the city called the ‘Tata Elxsi Research and Development Center’. This vertical focuses on supporting automobiles for embedded software, hardware and systems. This makes us think that Land Rover has sought the help of its parent company for some vital software bits.

 he next generation Freelander would*be based on a stretched Evoque platform (which in turn is based on the old Ford Mondeo) and could even feature options of five and seven seats. It has also been reported that the car would be a part of the ‘Discovery’ family. It*is expected sometime in late 2014.

Spied – 2015 Land Rover Freelander continues testing in Kerala

A heavily camouflaged test mule of the 2015 Land Rover Freelander doing rounds in Trivandrum, Kerala, has been intriguing the people in the city.

The car wears local registration plates. It looks something like an Evoque with a long wheelbase but the final design could be different.

To recap events, the next gen Freelander could quit its current position and join the Discovery lineup. Various reports suggest that the car which is based on the extended Evoque platform will be offered in both five and seven seat versions.

The AJ-200 series of four cylinder engines that are being developed jointly by Jaguar and Land Rover is likely to power the new SUV. There are also rumors about a supercharged petrol motor.

The current Freelander 2 is assembled in India for the domestic market and the next gen car too could follow the same route.

The 2015 Land Rover Freelander is expected towards the end of 2014.
