MPH publishes a couple of new Land Rover Freelander spyshots. The family feeling with the new Range and Discovery III is marked, and the new Freelander seems to have the what it takes to compete in a market that might soon be very crowded: BMW X3, Mercedes MLK, Volvo XC50, Audi Q5, Baby Cayenne, ecc (links to our Italian language version).

It remains to be seen how the Ford Group C1 platform (used in the european Focus, in the Volvo S40/V50 and in the Mazda 3) performs offroad. The engines will be probably taken from the Volvo range, with 5 and 6 cylinder gasoline engines and, probably the 2.4 D5 diesel engine from Volvo (which outputs up to 185 hp).
