Hans G. Lehmann has snapped some pretty telling photos of the next Land Rover Freelander. The next Freelander is expected to be priced close to the BMW X3, in the “entry level” compact SUV segment. The new Freelander is based on the C1 global platform used in the Volvo S40/V50, Mazda 3, and European Focus. Recent reports indicate the Freelander will switch to a transversely mounted in-line six-cylinder engine from Volvo. A five-cylinder diesel is also rumored as on option on the SUV. Ford is also said to be planning a similar SUV crossover offering from Volvo. Moreover, a recent report suggested the so-called XC50 would offer a selection of inline-5 and -6 engines.
