Land Rover Freelander 2 goes from strength to strength
Gaydon, Warwickshire, March 2008
The 2009 Land Rover Freelander 2 makes its world debut in Geneva at
the 78e Salon International de l'Automobile (March 6-16, 2008). The
exterior and interior enhancements for 2009 reflect the premium
character of the vehicle. High quality new materials and colours combine
to create a refined environment within the cabin.
More than 76,000 Freelander 2's have been sold since its 2006 launch,
with the refined and economical TD4 diesel accounting for 95% of
European sales, offering customers a combined average fuel consumption
of 37.7 mpg (7.5 l/100 km) and CO2 emissions of 194 g/km.
The chiselled lines and chunky good looks are enhanced by the addition
of a Style pack that helps reinforce the planted, wheel-in-each-corner
stance, with the addition of a further 19-inch alloy wheel available in
"sparkle" silver finish and a rear roof spoiler [market dependent]. The
sophisticated interior also benefits from the Style pack with the
addition of a "Matrix" metallic finisher across the width of the
dashboard and tactile Alcantara seat facings which combine with the
leather steering wheel and trimmed door casings to further increase the
material quality of the cabin.
The Style Plus pack goes one step further offering customers, depending
on market, front and rear bumper aprons, side sill mouldings, mesh
grille, rear roof spoiler and chrome tailpipe finishers, along with
standard fit "sparkle silver" 19-inch alloy wheels.
The Style packs are not the only revisions for 2009. Improvements
continue across the range with the introduction of two new metallic
paint colours, Lago Grey and Martinique Blue, along with jewel like
details within rear lights and clear lens side indicators.
Sophisticated materials raise the cabin quality with high-class new Dark
Laurel wood-effect or new Satin Silver metallic-effect now available on
the dashboard finisher, along with the introduction of a new interior
colour – Almond – and improvements to the quality of the headliner
material through the introduction of "morzine". Front interior map
lights and load space power socket all add to the practical versatility
of the Freelander 2.
“No other compact 4x4 has anything like its total breadth of
capability,” says Phil Popham, Land Rover’s managing director. “The
Freelander 2 has set new standards in the sector, combining the
advantages of a premium car – such as polished ride, accomplished
performance, attractive cabin and ease-of-use – with the attributes of a
robust 4x4, including go-anywhere ability, toughness, stadium seating,
cabin versatility and spaciousness. We believe that no other compact 4x4
gets closer to blending these best-of-both-worlds abilities.”
