United Kingdom 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Bali Blue

They will probably change the LR badging to Range Rover and charge us another several thousand pounds on top!

I really like the FL2 and would love another in 2014 when mine is up but it really is becoming stupendously expensive for what is basically a 6 year old design. Now - 2017 BMW X3 M Sport Carbon Black
Gone - 2014 BMW X3 M Sport Space Grey, faultless!
Gone - 2011 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Bali Blue with xenons
Gone - 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Rimini Red with bodykit

Strikes me that the price shifting of the FL2 might be to create a gap for a sub FL2 vehicle based on the DC100 concept


I think it could also be that when people go into a Landrover showroom to look at an Evoque then find it is too small, they are obviously planning on spending approx £40K so they end up buying a well specced Freelander for similar money. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.
(Past) RR Evoque Dynamic Lux Si4 In Firenze Red.

Scotland 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Mauritius Blue

Speced up a Fl2 XS with a few bits and bobs and also a basic Evoque with a few bits and bobs and found the FL2 was about a grand dearer.

Being on my fourth Freelander, I now find the specs being priced slightly out of reach.

I currently have an HSE only 18 months old and would only be able to afford the XS at a push therefor I find myself with the decision of either keep my HSE or get an Evoque. MY13- TD4 XS Mauritius Blue, Privacy glass, Cold climate pack, Tailgate spoiler, Armrest pack, LED signature, Body side mouldings, Full size spare and finally Mudflaps

GONE - MY11 TD4 HSE LAGO GREY Privacy Glass

GONE- 08 GS Stornoway Grey Privacy Glass
GONE- 07 GS Stornoway Grey Privacy Glass
GONE- 04 Silver

If there's no Si4 it will be either an Evoque or a different brand altogether

I would say Landrover have bocome too greedy on the sucess of the Evoque. Even on the 2013 model of the Dynamic I have it had as standard a lip spoiler on the top of the standard spoiler, now they want £155 for it as an option = Censored (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

England 2012 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Fuji White

The way I see it the 13MY would give me a slightly modernised centre part of the dash, an electric parking brake (which was okay on my auto D3 but useless on my manual D3) and front/rear light changes.

To get the same spec as my 12MY XS (white with leather, arm rests, 18 alloys and spare, tailgate spoiler, privacy and design pack) using the build configure which shows the 13MY as having standard the leather and design pack then and adding the missing bits which are standard on 12MY (front park distance control, cold climate) it quotes £31650 which is £2500 cheaper than the RRP of just over £34k of my 12MY.

Am I missing something? I bet I wouldn’t get the discount that saw me get my XS for £28k. Would I pay £3.5 more to get a 13MY. No

I’ll run mine until the FL3 or whatever is planned as the cheaper alternative. A Land Rover owner since 1988

From a 1974 series III to a 12MY XS FL2 with help of a 1995 D1, 1996 D1, 2005 D3, 2007 D3 and a 2009 FL2.
