2011 Land Rover Freelander 2 Pricing Announced

British carmaker Land Rover revealed today pricing and details of the 2011 Freelander 2 model range, scheduled to go on sale in the UK in late September. The range benefits from a new 2.2-litre diesel engine available with either 150PS or 190PS outputs, a new exterior look and inside modifications including new instrument dials and a new Premium Pack option.

The latest Freelander 2 features a new front bumper assembly, a new front grille finish, improved headlights and tail lamps, and new 18- or 19-inch alloy wheels.

Specifically, prices for the model start at GBP 21,695 for the 150PS 4WD TD4 S manual variant and go up to GBP 35,510 for the 4WD SD4 HSE automatic.

"The new Freelander 2 eD4 moves Land Rover into the hugely popular and fiercely contested two wheel-drive SUV market," said Land Rover managing director Phil Popham. "The European market for two-wheel drive SUVs represents 23 percent of the segment and we intend to compete strongly here."

"A 2WD option is just one way in which we are developing our vehicles' efficiency whilst adding to the Land Rover range and expanding our appeal to a broader group of customers. We will continue to make the 'world's finest all-terrain vehicles' for those customers who require 4WD but will also now offer an alternative."

The 2011 Freelander 2 will be available in three new colour schemes, namely Kosrae Green, Baltic Blue and Fuji White. As said, the 4WD TD4 and SD4 models will go on sale in the UK from the end of September, while the 2WD eD4 model will be available from January 2011.
