In a brief drive both on and off road, the newest version of the Freelander 2 was outstandingly smooth both accelerating or slowing down.The 4x4 has lost none of its off-road ability and control thanks to the hill-descent control and advanced traction control systems for very soft ground.The 160ps 2.2 four cylinder is matched with a six-speed automatic and it's an excellent combination.On road it is responsive and refined and most owners should get over 33mpg regularly.The car-like driving nature to the Freelander2 and its modest dimensions give it instant appeal, particularly if it's a first-time 4x4 model to a driver.Room is excellent, comfort very good and visibility is clear all round.The new Premium Pack delivers both exterior and interior enhancements to the top specification Freelander 2 HSE.Vehicles with the new pack are distinguished by a distinctive rear spoiler, body-coloured lower sections of the bumpers and doorsills and stylish tungsten coloured door handles.The pack also includes 10-spoke Chrome Shadow 19 inch alloy wheels giving the Freelander 2 an even sportier stance.Interior additions include a new driver's seat with additional seat cushion tilt function and front passenger seat with electric seat height adjustment as well as luxurious, perforated leather panels and extra stitching details. The storage box located at the rear of the centre console also gains a smart new sliding cover.
