After renewing his Range Rover, the Discovery 3 and Range Rover Sport launch, the British manufacturer addresses today's SUV: the Freelander.
Marketed in 1997, the first generation of Land Rover Freelander was launched the premium SUV segment.
After some restyling and renewal almost full range of British manufacturer, today is the turn of the Freelander.
First Land Rover
Freelander
Stylistically the new Freelander blend the past but the new codes of the brand since found similarities with the Land Rover Discovery 3 Land Rover and Range Rover Sport in particular in the wheel arches, side gills or drawing of custodian.
Otherwise, the front is very similar to the old model but it has not been without retouching, like the overall look that retains its main traits, while asserting a stronger side but also statutory c ' is to say high-end. One of the most striking evidence of this trend is moving the spare wheel that leaves the back door to migrate in the cargo floor.
Measurements increase as the new Freelander on most new models. With 4.50 m long, the Freelander wins 7 cm; an even greater increase in width with 1.91 m (10 cm) and even the height (+ 3 cm). The habitability should rise. This is already happening now shows the chest that a cargo capacity ranging between 755 depending on configurations and 1640 liters or 27% (546 l) and 38% better than the first name. However, impossible to transport 7 people. This characteristic remains the preserve of the Land Rover Discovery 3.
The interior is also changing. Primitive forms of the first generation have passed into oblivion to approach the dashboards of their big brothers. Again, the Land Rover Freelander by upgrading either in terms of material or finish. Staffing is also subject to this inflation with the possibility to opt for some equipment worthy of the German sedans such as the heating of the seats in two speeds, the DVD navigation system with touch screen, directional bi-xenon headlamps, panoramic sliding roof etc..
