New premium look announced for Land Rover Freelander 2

Another exciting high class model is making their debut at the Moscow International Motor Show on Wednesday August 29, 2012. Land Rover has just announced that it has upgraded the Freelander 2 with new premium features, making it an even better all-terrain, multi-purpose vehicle. As with all models in the Freelander range, you will still get an economical range of diesel engines such as the 2.2-litre 150PS TD4 and 190PS SD4 with four-wheel drive. For extra economy, the 2.2-litre 150PS engine is also available in eD4 two-wheel drive form. Equipped with six-speed manual transmission and Stop/Start, the eD4 achieves an impressive 47.1mpg (6.0 L/100km) and CO₂ emissions of 158g/km.

Jeremy Hicks, Land Rover UK Managing Director said: “In bringing the Freelander 2 right up-to-date, customers are now afforded more choice than ever before combined with new levels of luxury and technology. Fresh styling, generous amounts of standard equipment combined with Land Rover’s leading off-road capabilities, make the Freelander a seriously compelling customer proposition.”

Information on the new features have been released via Land Rover's official press release. Here are the disclosed details on what you can expect when the Freelander 2 becomes available:

• New exterior design features give a sportier and purposeful look


• Model range extended with new, sporty ‘Dynamic’ and luxurious ‘HSE Lux’ derivatives


• New premium interior design with improved storage, instrumentation and controls


• New 7-inch colour touch-screen to control audio, phone and navigation systems


• 825W Meridian surround sound system with 17-speakers for concert-like experience


• Say What You See prompted voice commands and rear view camera with ‘Hitch Assist


• 5 star Euro NCAP award for outstanding adult occupant protection


• Two wheel drive eD4 derivative achieves an impressive 47.1mpg (6.0 L/100km) and CO₂ emissions of 158g/km

Other key features include a Passive Start system, meaning that as long as the key is somewhere inside the car, the engine starts at the touch of a button, the front and rear lamps have been revamped to give the Freelander 2 a sportier new look, set off with a new signature graphic in the front running lights, and now there are three new exterior colours to choose from; Aintree Green, Havana and Mauritius Blue.
