Already Land Rover’s most fuel-efficient vehicle, Freelander 2 employs the latest technology, delivering superb handling with unparalleled
comfort, on or off-road. And now with intelligent Stop/Start technology for all manual derivatives, new Freelander 2 TD4_e incorporates elements from the Land Rover sustainability development programme, e_TERRAIN TECHNOLOGIES.
This is the most fuel-efficient Land Rover vehicle ever.
Inspired style that’s versatile. Freelander 2 is strong but smart, compact but spacious. Now updated with a range of new, contemporary colours and trim materials that are even more premium.
It’s everything you’d expect from a vehicle that redefines the standards of its class.
Pure, uninhibited Land Rover.
From the first glimpse, Freelander 2’s
distinctive exterior with sharp chiselled
lines gives an immediate sense of purpose.
The individualistic design language incorporates
interlocking shapes that reflect precision, integrity
and quality.
Freelander 2 is substantial and broadshouldered;
it looks like it was hewn from solid material and, with the wheels planted four-square at the corners, has a sporty stance that is perfect for all terrains.
Freelander 2 TD4_e is the first vehicle to incorporate elements from Land Rover’s sustainability engineering programme,
‘e_TERRAIN TECHNOLOGIES’.
A new, intelligent Stop/Start system, fitted to all diesel manual models, improves fuel efficiency by shutting down the engine, in appropriate conditions, when you come to a stop.
In traffic, at roadworks or waiting for a signal, it saves fuel that would otherwise be
used up when stationary with zero tailpipe emissions. Activated when you turn on the ignition,
it can be disabled by a switch on the facia.
For optimum economy anytime anywhere, an ingenious gearshift indicator light advises when
selecting a higher gear will improve fuel economy. Innovative technology that helps save fuel.
Land Rover’s renowned command driving position improves visibility and helps the driver feel in control.
The front corners of the vehicle are clearly visible whilst the well-proportioned door mirrors provide excellent visability to the sides and the rear.
The driver’s seat has six-way adjustment as standard (electric operation with three memory settings is also available) and the steering wheel can be
adjusted for both rake and reach ensuring you can set the position that is right for you.
The refinement you expect from a premium saloon, but in a class-leading 4x4.
Freelander 2 is a pleasure to drive, on-road or off.
Independent suspension with long wheel travel, coupled with an exceptionally stiff body structure, delivers agile handling and outstanding ride comfort. And with
no less than 20 (and counting) motoring awards worldwide since launch, Freelander 2 continues to set the standard.
In true Land Rover spirit, Freelander 2 is ready to take on tough terrains and conditions.
The first in its class to introduce revolutionary off-road technology, it lets adventurous drivers go where they want, when they want.
It is available with Land Rover’s acclaimed Terrain Response® system and latest generation Hill Descent Control technology.
The latter engages smoothly and easily when the foot brake is released, improving control on steep or slippery descents.
Land Rover’s Gradient Release Control works alongside Hill Descent Control and helps the driver to maintain full control by ensuring that the brakes are released
progressively on extremely steep hills.
Effortless control.
Using any one of four different settings, Land Rover’s unique Terrain Response® system maximises traction across a range of different surfaces through the vehicle’s electronic management systems and traction aids.
This exclusive capability optimises driveability and comfort, and is like having a Land Rover expert sitting beside you on every journey.
Choose your setting – general driving, grass/gravel/snow, mud and ruts, or sand – which can be selected on the move via a convenient rotary control located in front of the gear selector.
Terrain Response® enables you to realise your vehicle’s maximum capabilities - to go further and see more, with outstanding control.
General Driving – tuned to give good vehicle
dynamics in normal on-road driving and across
a wide range of light off-road conditions.
Grass/Gravel/Snow – maximises traction and control
on firm, but slippery, surfaces. Wet leaves and grass,
gravel or hard-packed snow and ice call for this setting.
Mud and Ruts – appropriate on unsurfaced tracks with
ruts or for soft, wet ground where progressive torque
delivery and reduced steering sensitivity help to maintain
traction and control.
Sand – provides momentum in dry, soft sand,
with the powertrain and traction control systems
adapting constantly to the terrain.
A 2.2 litre four-cylinder turbodiesel uses common-rail diesel technology, which aids economy and refinement, while the Variable Nozzle turbocharger helps to deliver exceptional torque.
A six-speed manual transmission is fitted as standard while a six-speed automatic transmission with CommandShift® is available as an option.
Steering wheel mounted controls at your fingertips for ultimate ease of use.
Depending on the model the intuitive technologies available cover cruise control, the audio system and hands-free telephone operation.
As well as the standard air-conditioning system, optional dual-zone climate control, with pollen filter, humidity sensor and air quality control system can be specified maintaining fresh air circulating the cabin to keep you and your passengers comfortable whatever the weather.
The optional DVD satellite navigation system, with a large, high definition touch-screen,
easy-to-use menu and extensive point-of-interest database, makes finding your destination as simple as possible.
And, adding further to the feeling of lightness and airiness within the cabin an optional panoramic sunroof is available, incorporating an electrically operated front section.
The glass is specially formulated to filter the infrared portion of the spectrum, providing light without unpleasant heat.
Discerning musical taste. Love of the latest technology. Or both.
An outstanding choice of three in-car entertainment systems satisfies everyone and includes a premium Dolby ProLogic II 7.1 surround sound system with 14 speakers and MP3 compatibility.
To increase your choice of listening further you can also specify DAB radio.
Rear passengers can even listen to a different music source to that of the driver, with an optional rear-seat headphone module, making long journeys much more enjoyable. And every Freelander 2 comes with an MP3 audio socket as standard.
Personal telephone integration of compatible mobile phones is also available via the optional Bluetooth® hands-free telephone system.
Should you require it, an accessory auxiliary link lead can be specified that allows selected Apple Inc products* to be operated via steering wheel controls.
Sophisticated technology that adapts to you.
*Discreet accessory link lead installation integrates iPod® Nano Gen 1, 2 and 3, iPod Video 30, 60 & 80Gb, Classic, iPhone and iTouch. The link lead also charges your iPod. iPod not included. iPod is a registered trademark of Apple Inc.

With a luxury interior that would be at home in a premium executive saloon, Freelander 2 challenges the conventions of a traditional 4x4.
Complementing Ebony and Almond, a brand new Storm Grey interior colour, available with leather/cloth and leather seat options, extends the distinguished feel of the
interior.
Light streams in from all angles to highlight the attention to detail throughout the cabin – from the stitching applied to the premium leather seats, to the crafted, perforated leather used in their construction.
Space to sit back and relax.
Inside Freelander 2, both the driver and passengers enjoy the benefits of generous leg, head and shoulder room.
Everyone can enjoy the view, with stadium seating putting rear passengers 50mm higher than those in front. Versatility is maximised by a loadspace with a 60:40 split rear seat and reversible load floor cover – carpet on one side, a water-resistant, wipe-clean surface on the other. A 12v power socket located within the loadspace provides added convenience.
Freelander 2 is packed with a host of sophisticated primary safety systems and technology.
There are large disc brakes all round, which, on the front, are reverse vented to improve thermal stability under severe braking. This means cool air is drawn into the centre
of the disc, then vented out over the rim, which helps provide the stopping power equivalent to a compact sports saloon.
For superior traction and better on-road fuel economy, the electronic centre coupling at the heart of Freelander 2’s intelligent four-wheel drive system adapts continuously
and instantaneously to the conditions. Pre-engaging at rest to reduce wheel spin from standing starts, it also engages instantaneously whenever traction loss is detected on the move.
Land Rover has been producing world-leading 4x4 vehicles since 1948 – many of which are still in use across the globe.
Today we continue to design vehicles that fulfil a specific role and are fit for purpose the world over.
Safety is enhanced by the immensely strong monocoque body and inner safety cell which is protected by meticulously engineered front and rear crumple zones which absorb energy on impact.
Ultra-high-strength steel is used in the construction of the body. Dual-phase steel, which requires special pressing because of its resilience, is found in key components such as the front windscreen pillars and lower side sills.
The result is a first class, weight-efficient safety cell.
Seven airbags, fitted as standard on all vehicles, play a key role in helping to protect all occupants.
Driver and front passenger airbags for head and chest protection.
Driver and front passenger side airbags for side impact protection.
Full-length curtain airbags provide head impact and rollover ejection protection for all occupants.
Driver’s inflatable knee airbag for additional lower body protection
EBA - Emergency Brake Assist. Increases hydraulic pressure during emergency braking and can improve stopping
distances by up to 15 percent.
ETC - Electronic Traction Control. Senses when wheel slip is occurring and uses the braking system to minimise wheel spin.
CBC - Cornering Brake Control. Enhances rear-end stability when braking in corners.
DSC - Dynamic Stability Control. Designed to correct over- or under-steer, it interacts with the engine and brakes to help maintain stability.
RSC Roll Stability Control. Detects critical levels of roll and applies braking to increase the turn radius to help reduce the likelihood of a rollover.
