If you ever wondered what Santa Claus wants for Christmas, we might have an idea. Land Rover just revealed a new concept, made to resist to extreme conditions \u2013 including the Northern cold \u2013 and letting adventurers sleep in the nature, after a long trip day.<\/p>\n

Meet the Christmas Cabin: a tiny wilderness cabin, fitting in the back of compact Discovery Sport SUV, and supporting an outside temperature of -20C.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Where did the idea come from? Following the success of the Discovery Sport SUV \u2013 100,000 cars sold in 2 years, making it Land Rover\u2019s biggest-seller \u2013 the brand\u2019s engineers decided to use the technology from the car and transpose it to a new, innovative format. Conceived as a festive season special, and in response to the growing demand for comfortable nomad travel solutions for the dailylife\u00a0adventurers, the Christmas Cabin was born.<\/p>\n

Taking a look inside, the first surprise is the space. Two adults can easily sleep in the 3.5m2 space, under a panoramic sunroof, after having adapted the modulable seating. The design is cozy and warm: almost enough to get the sleeper to forget he is not in his own bed tonight. Land Rover even had a thought for tech addicts: if they can\u2019t disconnect for too long, they will find USB charging sockets inside.<\/p>\n

Designed to have the lowest impact on the environment possible, the innovative cabin is also eco-friendly, as materials used include sustainably-sourced Danish pine, ply, and ecologically-sourced Western Red Cedar.<\/p>\n

To make sure the concept cabin was operational, Land Rover used their own cold chambers, and even asked 12times Everest climber Kenton Cool to test and review it.<\/p>\n

The cabin, not currently on sale, will support Land Rover in various partnerships and make special appearances in Land Rover Experience centres.<\/p>\n
