CarAdvice 2010 Freelander 2 TD4_e – Review and Test Drive
By Paul Maric
“If you weren’t in an SUV, you’d think you were in a sports car, such is the fluency and accuracy of the gear shifts.”
“After a week of driving though, you start to question why all cars don’t do this.”
“Here are my findings: 878km from 56 litres of fuel, and by my calculations, that’s about 6.37-litres per 100km. The regular TD4 Freelander2 achieves a combined 8.5L/100km, making our achievement a 25 per cent fuel efficiency gain.
To me, that’s a remarkable figure”
“While the Freelander2 is great on-road, you can only call it remarkable off-road.”
“The Freelander2 is a premium SUV that drives and feels like a road-going sedan. It’s capable at climbing almost any hill thrown at it and has enough interior room to cart passengers and cargo.
Better still, Land Rover has now produced its most fuel efficient vehicle, while steering clear of hybrid technology, which, let’s face it, won’t stand the test of time if battery technology doesn’t improve.”
