As Indian Autos Blog readers are aware, the next generation Freelander will be badged as Discovery, and will be the first of the new family of these "premium leisure" SUVs.

Land Rover does not say much about the concept, apart from mentioning that it will have "emotive design, unrivalled capability and ultimate versatility". Based on the video, its easy to spot that the new Discovery Concept will have three rows of seats.
