LAND ROVER FREELANDER 2 TD4_e STOP/START

The world's first 4x4 with intelligent Stop Start Technology, the Freelander 2 TD4_e is put to the test in a specially designed off-road course through the centre of London's Battersea Power station.

On sale in the UK in May 2009 it provides an 8% reduction in CO2 emissions and potential fuel savings of up to 20% in heavy urban traffic.

• The all-new Freelander 2 sets new standards for compact premium 4x4s

• Class-leading breadth of capability

• Two new engines that deliver strong combinations of performance, refinement and fuel economy: 3.2-litre i6 petrol (233 PS / 171 kW) – 30 per cent more powerful than the outgoing V6 with 10 per cent improvement in fuel economy; and 2.2-litre TD4 diesel (160 PS / 118 kW) – better fuel economy than its predecessor (37.7 mpg : 7.5 l/100 km) and 43 per cent more power

• Full-time intelligent 4x4 that helps optimise traction and fuel economy

• Land Rover' s unique Terrain Response™ – for easier off-road driving – heads a long list of advanced technologies, many new to the class

The all-new Land Rover Freelander 2 redefines the compact premium 4x4 class. New from the ground up, Freelander 2 delivers outstanding on-road performance as well as the class-leading off-road ability of a true Land Rover. A dynamic design, purposeful stance, smart and spacious interior, and an abundance of advanced technologies complete the package.

“No other compact 4x4 has anything like its total breadth of capability,” says Phil Popham, Land Rover's managing director. “The Freelander 2 sets 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, panoramic seating, cabin versatility and spaciousness. We believe that no other compact 4x4 gets closer to blending these best-of-both-worlds abilities.”

The original Freelander (launched in 1997) is seen by many as having created a whole new class of vehicle: the compact premium 4x4. It was the top-selling 4x4 in Europe for five years and remained the UK 's best-selling 4x4 from launch until the end of 2005. The all-new Freelander 2 is improved in every way: better performance, more economical, more refined, higher quality and substantially roomier. It is more capable both off-road and on-road, with transformed handling, ride and comfort.
