Land Rover Freelander 2

The interiors of the Freelander are quite nice. There is plenty of room, much more than you will find in the Evoque and than most of its competitors. However, the overall sense of luxury does not fare as good as its competitors. The dashboard is very simple and has a nice setup with good ergonomics but you can see the quality is not as good as other SUVs in its range. But overall it’s a good interior layout and it is very comfortable, with plenty of storage as well.

The Freelander comes with a 2179cc diesel engine that has two different variants with different engine outputs. We drove the higher spec model that features the 2 HSE petrol engine with 187bhp and 420N of torque. This makes the Freelander also the least powerful car in the LR fleet. But the engine is still very good and it is mated to a brilliant 6-speed auto transmission.

The car is very light and that helps it in its performance. The engine gives a decent output, and together with the lightweight the car can really pick up speed very well. In the city the car is very well controlled and the handling is really good and the suspension setup is very nice. In the cabin you can feel the smoothness of the ride quality and you will appreciate it a lot. The engine does give you good torque and you can find it easy to pick up speed when and where you want. The off-raod capabilities are also not the very best in the LR range, but it is still good enough to beat the rest of its competition, which means it actually is very good off-road and very capable.

We managed to get a fuel economy of 11kmpl on average.

The car features power steering, full automatic climate control, power windows, leather seats, interior mood lighting, steering wheel mounted controls, a nice audio system with 11 speakers and a subwoofer, and push button start stop.

Safety features include plenty of airbags, ABS, hill start assist, hill decent control, electronic bark brake, traction control and roll stability assist.

The quality is top notch in this car and in all other Land Rover Vehicles. The engineering is also brilliant and thee cars are meant to take you where no other can, and at the same time still be extremely reliable and built to last extreme conditions.

The car is decent value for the money you spend, but you could get a lot more for the same price if you look around.

This is a very capable machine with good looks and decent space. However for on-road performance you have more choices, and for better looks as well. Have a look around before you decide to buy this car. This car is meant for the no nonsense driver who occasionally goes on rough roads and who knows how to drive well.
