What's the future for Jaguar Land Rover? - What might be in store for Land Rover?

The Range Rover family will look pretty complete when the LRX arrives (see below), although how the Land Rover range shapes up is less certain.

There will be a new Defender, but the Freelander's future is more vague. When it first arrived it was as a three-door as well as a five-door, and perhaps the time might be right to go down that route once again.

While a smaller version makes sense as buyers downsize, Land Rover has to ensure it doesn't tread on the toes of the LRX.

There's also talk of a seven-seater version of the Freelander, which might take the place of the very capable, but heavy, Discovery.

A seven-seater built on a more car-like structure would be lighter, easier to engineer to future emissions standards and cheaper to build.
