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 – […]
Range Rover Sport TDV8 Ultimate – Bye-Bye 3.6 litres
Land Rover are going to release a run-out version of the Range Rover Sport TDV8 – The Range Rover Sport TDV8 Ultimate – before the RRS gets the new 4.4 litre diesel. Update: Land Rover are on the ball despite it being a Bank Holiday weekend. They’ve been in touch to say there are no […]
2011 Range Rover to get new 4.4 litre diesel
As expected, Land Rover is to replace the 3.6 TDV8 with a 4.4 litre TDV8 offering 10% more power, better economy and lower emissions for the 2011 Range Rover. It was always on the cards once Land Rover decided to replace the old 2.7 litre diesel in its cars with the new 3.0 litre. The […]
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. […]
Range Rover LRX caught testing – Spy Photo +LRX Video
We have the first spy shots of Land Rover’s new baby – the Range Rover LRX – which is due to launch in 2WD & 4WD at Paris 2010. There’s been a bit of a flurry of new coming from Land Rover just lately. Apart from the fact we had the 2010 Range Rover Sport […]
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 […]
