Hello,

I've just joined this site as a 1st Japanese Freelander 2 owner?
I feel little sad since there's very small user site for LR2 in Japan...
I only have seen 3 Freelander 2 in my 3 years ownership, but I belive this car is the best in my life!

Welcome Tak

feel free to ask any question that you might need answering

What sort of price do you pay in Japan? Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Welcome Tak!

Is there any difference to European Freelander 2?

Except for Japanese symbols on the dashboard. Freelander 2 SE 4Td Izmir Blue, Dog cage for Alaskan Malamute, iphone Navigon Navigator

Book price of Freelander 2 SE in Japan is 4,900,000JPY (roughly $49,000), actually quite expensive compare to other SUV such as Toyota Harrier, Nissan Murano, Ford escape, Honda CRV...
Now I'm surprised to see UK Freelander site with lower $$$...
Obviously many people go to domestic cars due to price, oh my...

Tak about difference:
Just read other Japanese owner's blog that EU version shift changes at around 2000-2500 rpm and mostly using gear 3 and 4, Japanese version is around 2,000rpm mostly using gear 5.

We have only 3 versions: S/SE/HSE, no GS nor XS. Only i6 (3.2l 6 bulb petrol engine)type is available (No disel engine since disel is not popular in Japan except for trucks... bad habit ).
Color variation is limited, you can get silver, white and black with short lead time. Difficult to get tambora frame, tonga green, rimini red and such other variations (maybe wait 12 weeks or so )

Anyway I love this car and enjoy by going camping
Also this car has good appearance in town for shopping (may people stop and look)!
