Freelander can go up to 500mm in static water, 2013RR can do 900mm in offroad height. previous RR could do 700mm in offroad height/

In the right hands it would probably get through but it would be pretty close to the limit.

Looking at the video, the FL2 may make it depth wise, however, without the ride height and possibly weight it may be a handful, Npinks 'floated' his in deep water across a lake, float on fast running water and your in trouble.
I think there are so e pics on here of an overseas driver in deep water..... Goes off to search

I'm told the reason for the 500mm wading depth on the Freelander is because around 600mm the rear end starts to float. 2011 MY SD4 HSE + planning some interesting stuff

The Fl2 can do a lot but I think that's pushing it to the limits, it's not something I would try as it's pretty close to floating. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

The thing to remember is that every cubic metre of water pushing against the vehicle weighs one tonne. Freelander doesn't need to float before the weight of water could push it sideways or backwards. Water going over the bonnet is not a good idea even though the engine air intake is on the passenger side front wing.

500mm wading depth limit in static water is the same as the Defender!!!

I've had water splashing up high before...

I reckon the water in the video is running a bit too fast for comfort considering the weight of an FL2. The depth would be ok.
