Spies in England have picked up a set of pictures of the first Land Rover LRX 5-door prototype.  The SUV was spotted on the streets of Warwickshire, near Jaguar Land Rover headquarters in Gaydon.

Up until now, the five-door was little more than a rumor.  When compared to both the concept and the three-door prototype, the five-door looks to have a straighter roof that tapers much less than the other models.

The production version of the LRX is expected to be the brand's most fuel efficient to date.  The new model, and its real name, has been announced for introduction tomorrow at a closed door press conference at London's Kensington Palace.  We expect both three- and five-door varieties to be shown off, but we are not certain that both will be sold worldwide.

Land Rover's latest addition to their line-up will be sold in as many as 160 markets worldwide beginning next spring, with production to remain in the UK.  Look for the car to be unveiled to media worldwide at the Paris Motor Show in October.

...or could it be an LR3 replacement? It looks like it would fit between the LR2 and LR4. I'm betting that they'll badge it LR3. That is what it will be effectively anyway. It does leave you wondering, "where is the Land Rover boxy look?" I am curious as to how this design will be received as a Land Rover.

LR3 is the Discovery, right? This isn't practical enough to replace that. It will sit between that and the Freelander - judging by size - with RR badging. And RR pricing...

i think it would be a replacement for the lr2 not t he lr3. no way would they put a lr3 badge on that car, the lr3 was a discovery 3 and this car is a downgrade from that, plus it has none of the characteristics of the discovery, which is a 7 passenger high roofline go anywhere suv

in fact, it is a new segment. the Lr2 is going away, eventually. this vehicle will be designated "Range Rover" and will be the starter series for the upscale brand...

i believe u are right as much as i dont want that to be though. i hate when they do that, there were also rumors that it might be a front wheel drive and in my opinion thats a shame to range rover, i had a 2005 silver range rover hse and a 2007 white supercharged range rover, those deserved the name range rover, i dont see how this one does
