I dont like the new terrain response buttons though. You need the chunky dial... it makes it more like a Land Rover than an Ewoke sorry I mean Evoque (both are very similar in terms of fluffiness that I get them confused) Rolling with laughter

Looks good! Interior upgrade is way overdue. Pity about the electric parking brake - would have been better if they had also included "Autohold" as per the Passat - brilliant, especially with an auto box. All in all Thumbs Up Shame I cannot afford one at present! Big Cry 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 SE Manual Santorini Black

Its nice but even if i could afford to get the same sort of spec to what i currently have its not really worth it! The changes to the interior are not radical enough, i do however like the new lights Smile When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car

England 2010 Freelander 2 TD4_e XS Manual Stornoway Grey

They will be a few more bumpers and bits for sale again as those with 2006 models attempt to make theirs look like a new one.

The inside looks nice and refined and will drag the cabin back up in line with its higher end compact 4x4 rivals, and the outside is sharpened up especially with the lights, BUT under the slightly altered plastic bits it's still the 6 year old shape thats becoming dated, and although it will attract new customers alot of current customers like myself will struggle to see where there 20 odd grand has gone if they upgrade, i hope these are the last throws of the current FL2 and they bring a completely new one out before this one completely runs out of momentum and we get bored waiting!
Don't get me wrong I've had mine over 3 years and really like it, and would recommend to anyone, but i'm going off the boil waiting!

I can understand that they will be nervous about replacing such a successful vehicle in case they make mess up!

Wales 2012 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Santorini Black

+1 on the lights.

My vehicle has been sitting in a field since mid-July and I don;t get to play until mid-October (lease swop-over thingy) The wait has been worst ever and I have done a few of these now.

Does anyone know what the current xenon lights cost retro so I can get my heart-attack out the way early?

I just wonder how long LR will keep tweaking and upgrading and making it more upmarket until they actually say ok, time to retire the Freelander 2 and let's do an all new Freelander 3.

Will they even bother with a Freelander 3? Confused LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby

To be fully legal fitting Xenon's you also need to fit self leveling mechanism, seem to recall that as a build option Xenon's are £710 including the self leveling mechanism.

What is all this fuss with 2 and 3? Makes no difference to me whether they keep it FL2. As long as they keep updating it to stay current with competitors I have no issue. There is also nothing wrong with the exterior shape. It's nice and square and has a more offroad prescence than its rivals, Evoque included! 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Orkney - waiting!
