According to the AA the price difference between petrol and diesel was between 5 and 6p a litre cheaper, the same as it is so far this year.

I saw a couple of Freelander Si4 HSE's when I was at the factory last week. (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.

I have a US market LR2 fitted with the 2.0T direct injection from the Evoque. It's a great engine for the LR2. Plenty of power (240hp, 250lb-ft!) which is more than the outgoing I6. It is plenty fast and with the 6 speed autobox it accelerates well for a truck. Although the government combined fuel average is only 20mpg, I question the methodology as I'm seeing 28-30mpg on the highway at 60-70mph and in the mid-20s in town. It's also known as the Ford EcoBoost 2.0L and is used in a large number of vehicle platforms and is considered an excellent engine by all regards. I'm quite happy with it. 2013 LR2 HSE LUX: 2.0L I4; Barolo Black, Ebony Windsor Leather; Navigation, Satellite Radio, Cold Weather Pack, Piano Black Trim.

Seems pointless keep starting new threads so resurrecting an old one.

Seen today Northbound M6 J16 around 08.15. Wa attracted to what model it was, the photo doesn't show it but it wasn't SD4 or TD4.




A Trace on the number reveals.

i6 was a 3.2 litre engine and no longer used by Land Rover

Could be a test mule for one of the rumoured new 2.0 litre engines.

It said Si4 on the Tailgate but conditions were carp at 65mph this morning so not great shot, the details I found states 1999. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior

The Si4 Freelander is available in many overseas markets, including some where they drive on the left and it would be quite likely LR would have some in UK for testing etc.

There are still stories within LR that the Si4 will make an appearance in the UK for the cars final year as a special edition. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

The petrol engine appeals to me, I don't do a massive amount of miles to warrent a diesel with the devils very own creation, the DPF.

Always fancied an i6 when I first bought a Freelander 2 but couldn't get one in my budget. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

I very much doubt we'll see an Si4 Freelander in the UK. Might see it in the replacement but not in the current one.

Why not fit a twin turbo to the SD4 and let it fly

BMW and Audi have it on some of their SUVs

Besides we have the technology in some of the Jags!

Ad they shift like s..t of a shovel
