I know Si4 is going to the states and OZ, but I am sure it is coming here too. My personal opinion, is that as a result of the sales of Si4 Evoques, they will put it in Freelander.

Many SUV owners don't want diesel and have many petrol options in the form of XC60, Q5, X5 etc.

I guess I have helped there then given I bought an Si4 Evoque  (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.
(Past) RR Evouque Pure Tech in Barollo Black with bespoke Firenze Red colour coding.
(Present) Freelander Metropolis 2015 MY In Santorini Black with Ivory Premium Leather.

A decent petrol option would be good too!

There are strong rumours the 2.0 Si4 will be available.

Wasn't there a Freelander 2 Si4 picture on here recently, for sale on some site over here but with a note saying it could not be registered in the UK

Autocar has pics of the new 2013 Freelander, outside looks very similar and the inside has a cover on it so it's difficult to see, it's a manual and apart from the gearlever the centre console is covered. What is interesting is that the steering wheel definitely says Range Rover. I wonder if its on temporarily or perhaps LR are going to market the Freelander as a Range rover and leave Land Rover as the utility end of the market.

my guess it they stole the steering wheel off a current production car

my second guess its got evoque style radio/dash, we shall see,

When do orders be taken to enable to get one on launch day? Not that im thinking of it or anything

Looking at the pics, the wheel arches look a little more flared too. Or is it just the colour/angles? 1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame.

i think they are the same, its just the refections

The start stop button doesn't look 100% fitted though, sort of raised off the dash

i can't see any different dash display either, as the other all have gone for the white on black style, but i suppose its hard to tell with it switched off

Threads Merged

Saw one of the new Freelanders about three weeks ago, was on a transporter on the Gaydon Slip, noticed the fog lamp bezels, couldn't see a lot more, i was on the opposite carriageway.

Just been looking at the pics again, is it me or is it missing a handbrake?

got to admit i was thinking the same, but then thought it might be under the cloth

but then the evoque has the push button one if you look on the LR website

Look at the bottom right brushed crome bit...it looks like EPB! 

I was at The Open at Royal Lythm and St Annes and gues what was parked up in the public carpark.... MY2013 FL2 in mild disguise

They grille surround and fo lamp surround are finished in the same ebony finish as MY2012 RRS .... don't like the orange in the rear lights very much.

Interior covered in Vinyl covers but it had a gear stick....
