The Freelander comes in three trim levels - S, SE and HSE with a starting price of Rs 33.79 Lakhs Ex-Mumbai.

The Freelander comes powered by a 2.2 Litre common rail turbodiesel engine which is mounted transversely to provide for extra space for better crash protection, front end styling and a shorter bonnet to maximize cabin space.

Mumbai: Land Rover today launched the highly acclaimed Freelander 2 in India. The Freelander 2 joins the acclaimed Discovery 4, the quintessential sports tourer, the Range Rover Sport and the ultimate luxury 4×4, the Range Rover, all of which were launched earlier in India in June this year.

The Freelander 2 has redefined the compact premium 4×4 segment. It delivers outstanding on-road performance as well as class-leading off-road ability, the hallmark of Land Rovers. A dynamic design, purposeful stance, smart and spacious interior, and an abundance of advanced technologies complete the package.

The Freelander 2 is powered by a 2.2 litre common rail turbodiesel engine. The engine is transversely mounted to provide extra space for better crash protection, front end styling and allows a shorter bonnet for more cabin space.

The Freelander 2 boasts an exceptionally strong monocoque body and inner safety cell, with front and rear crumple zones which absorb energy on impact. It received a 5 star rating in the rigorous Euro NCAP tests for adult occupant protection – a first in its class. This, along with dynamic technology systems, airbags and command driving position complete the all-terrain, all weather package of the Freelander 2.
