As title. Is there going to be one? 2012 everything else seems to be on the LR website but no FL2? (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

Just had a face lift so I don't think anything will happen, maybe my2012.5 but they said nothing when asked at halewood Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Seems odd as they have done revisions every year so far. (Past) Freelander 2 HSE 2010 MY In Rimini Red.

Maybe they will do something subtle like fit orange side repeater lights.

Red lever for high & low ratios.
Yellow lever to engage two or four wheel drive.

Seem to remember elsewhere on the forum a comment about details of MY12 being released in mid to late November but I can't remember exactly where.
I don't expect there to be many changes, possibly reintroduction of some paint colours that were dropped earlier in the year.

Think lpr have a few details but it's hardly no changes at all

Don’t think there is much more life left in the FL2. I expect it to be withdrawn soon from the LR line up
You can shoot me later if I am wrong but that is my prediction

The reason is easy to understand at least here in Scandinavia where the Freely has stopped selling and the Evoque has sold like hotcakes If they are going to continue with a vehicle of FL2 size then they will have to completely redo the design to compete with the very well designed Evoque interior, its equipment and overall design features which are far superior to the Freely.

Went to see my first Evoque the other day and very impressed too – its full of design features that one would expect today and with many custom possibilities making each vehicle quite unique if you want individuality and kicks out of the opposition (X3, Audi’s, VW’s Japs, Yanks and all, can look on with envy ) – this vehicle has been very well designed.

I have a loan soon when my Freely has its 4th service and look forward to testing it, hopefully on some winter roads as well. As far as I can see the only negative things with the Evoque are the size (although the boot is about FL2 size) and the price  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Which seems to conclusively prove that you are an Evoque customer, which is fair enough.

No I dont think so. Although I dont need a large vehicle as we are only 2 on tour, but when I worked out the Evoque price I would have to pay for what I would have chosen it was far too much.

In any case I am very satisfied with my Freely as long as it remains reliable  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I, too, am in the FL2 camp and will not migrate to the Evoque...price, boot size are far better in the FL2. There is nothing substantial that the Evoque can do that the FL2 can't.

So all of the people who migrate to the Evoque probably only had an FL2 because there was nothing else. Most FL2 that I see never get used anywhere near what they are capable of. So a pimped 'n' blinged Evoque with 2wd would fill many such peoples needs.

The Evoque fills a niche. The FL2 fills a niche. Landrover will continue, in my opinion, to offer vehicles to fill that niche. It would be careless to let it go. It would also be careless to de-off-road the FL2 or its replacement otherwise there will be yet another reason that differentiates it from the rest of the offers in market.

The FL2 is to the Evoque what the Discovery is to the Sport. I do hope they don't kill of this car. It's only been on the market for 5-ish years so it should at least have 5 more.

Sooner or later they will bring the interior up to date. In fact looking at the situation today it may very well be the case for the next release. As The facelift has just been done ant production is to busy popping out evoques, they probably wont do a massive change for the MY2012 (if at all) and use the extra time to redesign the interior (I hope).

So when the bulk of the pre-ordered Evoques have all be delivered and they get more normal volumes for both FL2 and Evoque, they will try boosting demand and sales again by launching this big update of the FL2.

LR has a history of building on existing cars for many years. Just look at when the Sport, Vogue and Disco have been around (disco 3 and 4 are quite the same for the untrained eye). How long was the FL1 around...

5 years is not long enough for a model to exist. Its when the R&D is repayed that a model really starts making money.

While Freelander 2 may have stopped selling it Scandinavia Dealers in the UK are reporting an increase in sales since the launch of the Evoque. It would appear customers are drawn in by the Evoque, see it but decide it's too small and opt for a Freelander 2 instead.

Delivery for a build to order Freelander is currently about 22 weeks, partially caused by the number of Evoques being built, partially by the number being exported and by demand.

FL2 is not dead yet and I suspect it won't be for some time to come.
