As far as I can work out, the Freelander 2 is wider than the Discovery 4 and even wider than the new XC90 (which from the rear looks absolutely massive). Is this actually the case or am I just half asleep this morning?!

Older Discovery was slightly narrower though, this is probably where you have seen the discrepancy

Body width 1865 mm roughly measured in the garage between front and back door half way up.

Edit:
Remeasured with a Bosch GLM80 laser: A few mm below the side body mouldings & a few mm forward from the back edge of the front door.

2741 garage width in same position (car removed)
-405 left gap
-476 right gap
1860 mm

1882.0 mm including side body mouldings.

Note: The car was not absolutely perfectly straight in the garage & the garage walls have a few irregularities but I tried to get the dimension within reason so the car seems wide enough. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Thanks. Clearly going mad. Which was bound to happen one day.

That is a difference of nearly 6" ,surely LR are not that bad at measuring, I'm assuming that the larger width is ears out, so its not a body measurement but ear to ear folded  my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis
2012 HSE SD4 In Orkney Grey now gone, best car ever.

Mirrors

The body measurement to the mouldings may well be the figure Lightwater has given, however I 'think' the widest part is across the front arches?

Oddly I came accross this the other week:

The FL2 rear wheel track is wider than the D4 (1614mm v 1612.5mm)
Was quite surprised by that.

However the FL2 front wheel track is 4mm less than the D4 (1601mm v 1605mm)

Although both my FL2 front and rear wheel tracks are considerably wider than all the above.
A- because I run Evoque wheels with an extra 10mm offset, plus B - wider 285 section tyres. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

widest part will be the mirrors both folded and unfolded, then the door handles.

It is the door handles, a lady i knew went though an 8ft wide gateway and took the handles off both sides at the same time, had it repaired and did the same thing again, she said why do they have such big handles
I think the mirrors were already long gone.

8ft, did she have the doors open
