Cars Land Rover Freelander

The Land Rover Freelander remains an important name in the history of the brand, being the model that paved the way for the British brand in the popular compact SUV segment.

The first generation Freelander had its pioneering role, but the real qualitative leap and the one that defines the model on the market is the Freelander 2 (produced approximately between 2006 and 2014). This iteration brought substantial improvements in all key areas: the construction became much more solid, the level of interior refinement and ride comfort increased significantly, and reliability, an aspect criticized in the first generation, was considerably improved.

The interior of the Freelander 2 offers good quality materials for the standards of the time, an ergonomic design and a practical space, sufficient for the needs of a family or for recreational activities. The feeling of safety and durability is striking, being exactly the qualities that many buyers of used Land Rovers from Plus Auto are looking for.

Why does the Freelander 2 remain an inspired choice for drivers in Romania?

One of the undeniable strengths of the Freelander model, especially in its second generation, was its ability to handle rough terrain better than many of its direct competitors in the compact SUV class of the time.

Equipped with a competent all-wheel drive system and, on many versions, with intelligent Terrain Response technology (a rarity in the segment at the time), the Freelander 2 demonstrates remarkable versatility. It handles honorably on low-grip surfaces, such as roads covered in snow, mud or light macadam, and also benefits from respectable ground clearance.

Road behavior is safe and predictable, and ride comfort is good, making it suitable for both daily commuting and longer trips. In Romania, the 2.2-liter diesel engine was extremely popular and is recognized for its robustness and durability over time.
