Was presented as the Land Rover Freelander in 1997 for the first time, he was a co-founder of the segment of compact SUVs and was instantly the most popular Land Rover model.

In 2006 the second generation was launched, which has now been completely revised for the new model year and upgraded.

Visual level, the new vintage at a cooler look with revised headlamps, new front bumper, new tail lights and a few other little details that the Land Rover Freelander 2 can act now even more dynamic.

The interior has been redesigned and now offers quality materials and a fresh look. Between the two round instruments is a new LCD display space, a new look, the center console has also obtained.

The manual handbrake is now given way to an electronic, and the Terrain Response was that optically aligned in the Evoque. Also new are a rearview camera, which gives a very good picture and a Meridian sound system, which provides maximum listening pleasure.

When the engine of the 6-cylinder petrol engine with a modern 2.0-liter 4-cylinder was replaced, which is a power of 240 hp more than 7% of the 6-cylinder engine.

But he is more economical to move to 14% and is on average 9.6 liters per 100 kilometers. Even more economical are the best diesel. The 2.2 liter 4-cylinder diesel engine is available with 150 hp or 190 hp.

With the 150 hp version, customers can also choose between front-and all-wheel drive, 2-wheel driven eD4 with a consumption of 6.0 liters, the most fuel-efficient version of the SUV.

While the 150 hp are enough out for decent performance. The sprint of the 150 hp Freelander done in 11.7 seconds, the version with 190 hp creates the same discipline even in just 9.5 seconds.

For daily use, the 150 hp quite rich, who places more value on driving pleasure, but also want to get off the beaten track ahead is the 190 hp version, but certainly better off.

The redesigned interior with a still like design and is an easy to use. The materials chosen act also much higher quality than its predecessor.

His true trumps the Freelander 2 plays but from off the paved roads, where he convinces with its great off-road capability.

Of course, he creates by the lack of air suspension is not the same entanglement as the Discovery 4, but it comes with the Freelander 2 off road in areas where other compact SUV had to abandon a long time.

Impressive is still the Terrain Response system, which offers the perfect opportunity for each electronic control. Whether mud, sand or even the steep slope, the electronic system controls all aspects perfect, and it comes perfectly with the Freelander 2 through rough terrain. One keystroke is enough to set the current base of the Terrain Response, and you're ready for anything.

The renovation of the 2013 Land Rover Freelander 2 has done very well, he looks back dewy and higher quality than the previous model's top off-road but he was able to maintain.
