Jaguar Land Rover has applied to trademark the name ‘Landy’, which could be used on a future urban SUV.
The application was made last month and is intended to cover everything from vehicles and associated accessories to clothing, scale models and franchising for vehicle dealerships.
There have been persistent rumours that Land Rover is seriously considering building a fashionable urban SUV based on the Evoque platform and with similar styling to the DC100 concept.
Officials admitted that such a car was being considered but that no business case had been made. The arrival of the Mk3 Mini family and the prospect of a new front-wheel-drive BMW X1 and an Audi Q1 crossover could have combined to reignite the Land Rover project.
