Hello I'm new on here,I get my first Freelander later this week so here's the first of doubtless many daft questions,the model I have bought is an SD4 Dynamic,have looked at the specifications of Freelanders on various sites including Land Rovers and I'm struggling to phantom out where the Dynamic sits within the range does anyone have the definitive answer to this.
Another question is to do with the gear shift,had a test drive in the vehicle prior to purchasing it and wasn't wanting to look like a thicko by asking at the time but while driving can you move from "Drive" to "Demand" while in motion or must this option be selected prior to moving off? apologies in advance if these are daft questions.

Hi and welcome to the crazy forum..... theres no such thing as a daft question so just ask it (you may get some semi sarcastic replies but that's the forum humor )

If im correct the Dynamic model is based on the XS spec, with the addition of the bodykit (which I really really like) and seat covers. Previous owner(s) may have specced optional extras (glass roof etc) or added bits on aftermarket. There are quite a few dynamic owners on here (LRNUT is probably the most knowledgable on the model as his started out life as one )

With the auto box, you can set off in command shift mode or fully auto mode. You can change between the two modes whilst static or moving at any speed and in command shift you can tap the stick back/forwards to manually change up/down the gears.

The auto box is an ''intelligent'' box in that it learns your driving style and adapts its gear changes to suit. This can take a couple of weeks at least to learn and adapt. it continues to adapt all the time as well.

Bear in mind though, that with an auto, it wont let you change up/down if it will put the revs too high and speed doesn't match your selection.

hope this helps a little, and enjoy the Freely when you get it. They are lovely cars to drive.

Thanks Rog,things have moved on since my first experience of Land Rover a short wheele base defender on the farm back in the 70's

sorry.... its been a while

The Dynamic model sat in between an XS and HSE hence why it was priced inbetween these two specs. One thing that made it stand out against the pack was the factory body styling pack along with the gloss black front grill and side vents which makes the car look really planted with an aggressive presence on the road.

The XS came with 17" alloys, manual seats, halogen headlights and no front or rear arm rests. (Later XS models did come with Led signature).

The HSE came with 18" alloys electric seats, halogen headlights with LED signatures, front + rear armrests, footwell lamps and puddle lamps, front map lights, heated steering wheel and a pano roof.

The Dynamic came with 19" alloys, factory body styling pack, tailgate spoiler, electric seats, halogen headlights with LED signatures, front + rear arm rests. Footwell lamps and puddle lamps, front map lights.

All 3 specs had the meridian sav with 380W ICE system.

From memory this is what I recall the major differences in the models above. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s
