Exterior
The Freelander is intended to evoke the traditional Land Rover character. A broad front bumper that leads directly into the wheel arches helps to set the tone. Generous wheel travel is provided: up to 7.1 inches in the front and 9.4 inches in the rear. Even though the Freelander is a little longer than the Escape and Tribute, it rides a shorter, 101-inch wheelbase. Ground clearance is 8.7 inches.
Offroad strength and rigidity are deemed comparable to traditional Land Rover models. Box-section rails and eight integral cross-members help maintain these characteristics. Aluminum-alloy wheels hold 17-inch tires. A full-size spare tire mounts on the side-hinged rear cargo door, which has a power up/down window.
Interior
Five people fit inside the Freelander, which is equipped with bucket seats up front and a 60/40-split, folding rear seat. Leather seating surfaces are standard.
Other standard equipment includes heated power mirrors, a security system with perimeter protection, a cargo cover and steering-wheel radio controls. The HSE model includes a Harman Kardon sound system with Radio Data System (RDS) station identification and a six-CD changer. Rear privacy glass is standard, and heated front seats.
Under the Hood
A 2.5-liter, 24-valve dual-overhead-cam V-6 engine delivers 174 horsepower and 177 pounds-feet of torque; it teams with a five-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. Full-time four-wheel drive is standard, and the center viscous coupling is similar to that used on the larger Range Rover. The transmission operates in Sport or Manual-Steptronic mode.
Safety
All-terrain antilock brakes are standard, but side-impact airbags are not offered. The Freelander has a four-wheel electronic stability system and push-button-activated Hill Descent Control for use on slippery downgrades.
