Autocar reports Land Rover (http://www.autoblog.com/land rover/) may be mulling a new, inexpensive SUV to slot below the company's current offerings. John Edwards, global brand director for Land Rover, has confirmed his company's product planners are currently evaluating the viability of a baby SUV. Edwards says he scan see such a model performing well in several markets, but has yet to see a convincing business case for bringing the machine to life right now. Other premium manufacturers are seriously pushing into the small CUV market with vehicles like the upcoming Porsche Macan (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/porsche macan/), BMW X1 (http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/x1/) and even the Mini Countryman (http://www.autoblog.com/mini/countryman/).
If the small Land Rover were to come to fruition, we could expect the car to carry an MSRP of around 18,000 pounds in the UK, or around $27,500 in the US at current conversion rates. Autocar reports the machine would likely borrow design cues from the beefy-looking Land Rover DC100 Concept as well as the upcoming Defender replacement.Land Rover planning entry-level 'baby' SUV?
