Land Rover has sent us video showing the changes to the 2011 Land Rover Freelander 2. It’s only a week or two (well, almost three) since Land Rover spilled the beans on the changes for the 2011 Freelander 2. But that’s long enough for them to have got the camcorder out and shot a bit […]
2011 Freelander 2: Made in India (almost)
Tata has confirmed that Land Rover will be assembling the Freelander 2 in India from 2011. Whenever we’ve discussed the rise and rise of JLR in the last year – such as when we waxed lyrical (ish) on the future plans of Jaguar Land Rover – we’ve always been of the opinion that Tata would […]
Land Rover Freelander 2 Facelift (2011) Revealed
Land Rover facelift the Freelander 2 for 2011, with cosmetic tweaks, a 2WD Freelander 2 eD4 and, as we predicted, a more powerful 187bhp Freelander SD4. Back in May we reported that there would be a facelift for the Freelander 2 for 2011, with the required cosmetic tweaks to keep it fresh for another year […]
Freelander 2 RS200 by Project Khan
Project Khan has turned their attention to the Land Rover Freelander 2 to create the Freelander RS200, which is both surprisingly tasteful and a bit of a bargain. I suppose you could say we opened our mouth too soon. It’s only a couple of weeks ago – when we reviewed Land Rover’s latest Freelander 2 HSE – […]
Freelander 2 hits 200,000
Land Rover are celebrating the production of the 200,000th Freelander 2 at Halewood, just three years after production started. The original Freelander was, for a car that was pretty much cobbled together from the Rover parts bin, a remarkable success. Sadly, it wasn’t a remarkable car, particularly with the K Series engine many Freelanders had succumbing to […]
Land Rover Freelander 2 off road video
We have video of the Land Rover Freelander 2 going off-road showing how effective the Terrain Response and Hill Descent Controls are. We had the Land Rover Freelander 2 for a week recently and found it – as we do with all current Land Rover products – to be even better than you’d have thought. […]
Land Rover Freelander 2 HSE Review & Road Test Part 3
The final part of our road test and review of the Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4 The bigger dimensions on the Freelander 2 have made the cabin more appealing. In many ways it reminds me of the interior on the previous model Range Rover Sport. The one I recently decried as “ill-conceived and felt low-rent”. Which was how […]
Land Rover Freelander 2 HSE Review & Road Test Part 2
We continue our review and road test of the Freelander 2 HSE here in part 2 If you look at the Freelander 2 and compare its style to its modern rivals – such as the Audi Q5 – it looks a bit staid and frumpy. But change your perspective just a little and it becomes […]
Land Rover Freelander 2 HSE Review & Road Test
We spend a week with the top of the tree Freelander 2 – the Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4 HSE – for a review and Road Test. Any good? We’ll see. It was always something of a paradox, the original Land Rover Freelander. On paper it seemed to be all the car you could need. […]
LR2 / Freelander 2 Facelift Spied
We have spy shots of a Land Rover Freelander 2 sporting a disguise which points to a facelift coming soon to Land Rover’s current baby. We know it as the Land Rover Freelander 2. Elsewhere – or the US, anyway – it is known as the Land Rover LR2. But it’s one and the same – pretty much. And […]
