2009 LandRover Freelander 2 TD4 – Long Term Wrap Up

“If you can find an SUV in this small to medium segment that better combines outstanding road manners and comfort with serious off road capability and economy than Land Rover’s Freelander 2 TD4 – buy it”

When a Land Rover insider from the UK told us that the Freelander 2 will go anywhere the Defender can on their own proving ground, albeit a little slower, we thought he might have been a little too enthusiastic for his own good.After 24 hours behind the wheel of this baby Land Rover in seriously hard-core four-wheel-drive terrain, negotiating all kinds of nasty stuff, including deep mud ruts in torrential rain, we can assure you he is one hundred percent on the money, this is a remarkably capable off-roader.

Even more encouraging was that this particular test vehicle was shod with ordinary road tyres, and yet we still managed to make it through some dreadfully soft red mud.
