Land Rover launches its Freelander 2 Commercial
Stablemate to the Freelander 2 canters into sight
Author: Chris Barker
Published: 31 March 2008
The
Freelander 2 Commercial is introduced this month – priced from £20,775
OTR – following demand from Land Rover customers for a van version of
the small off-roader.
The
latest debutant in the compact 4x4 commercial segment will flash its
wares for the first time in public at the Commercial Vehicle Show at
Birmingham's NEC from April 15 – 17.
Available
in the two versions – both sharing the current Freelander's 2.2-litre
TD4 oil-burning engine - the Halewood built 'S' and 'XS' versions will
offer the equivalent trim-level as the Freelander 2, less the
obligatory rear seats and side airbags.
The
Freelander 2 Commercial S gains infrastructure-reinforcing measures
such as: mesh-incorporating full-height solid bulkhead; floor support
frame; floor panel with lashing points; fixed rear side glass and tail
door and side window guards.
The
Freelander 2 Commercial XS (£25,595) adds Terrain Response system, 17”
rims, electric folding mirrors, front park distance control,
half-leather, automated climate and accomplished ICE over the 'S'.
The Freelander 2 Commercial is VAT and company car-tax exempt due to its defiant stance as an out-and-out commercial vehicle.
The Land Rover Freelander 2 scales the compact premium 4X4 sales summit in record time, as the latest model is sent to Russia with love.
The Land Rover Freelander 2 is a strong-seller, can't be beaten for off-road performance and has strong brand perception. With an automatic gearbox it adds refinement and efficiency.
HST derivative adds Sports Styling Pack, leather trim, metallic paint and 20" alloy wheels to Freelander 2, available to buy in March from £31,990.
Latest Freelander 2 iteration is smooth and packed with gadgets.
´Premium´ styling pack includes exterior and interior styling tweaks.
