The '''Land Rover Freelander''' is a series of [[Front-engine, all-wheel-drive|four-wheel-drive]] vehicles that was manufactured and marketed by [[Land Rover]]<ref>((cite web|title=Joint Venture, Subsidiary and Associate Companies: Jaguar Land Rover|url=http://www.tatamotors.com/our_world/associates00.php?PageID=13|publisher=Tata Motors|access-date=2010-08-21|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206042804/http://www.tatamotors.com/our_world/associates00.php?PageID=13|archive-date=2010-12-06))</ref> from 1997 to 2015. Initially a [[compact SUV]] built on a [[body-on-frame]] chassis, the second generation model, sold from 2007 to 2015 in North America and the Middle East as the '''LR2''' and in Europe as the '''Freelander 2''', transitioned to a car-based platform which placed it into the [[compact crossover SUV]] class, and was developed alongside the [[Volvo XC60]], the [[Volvo S80]] and the [[Ford Mondeo (third generation)|third generation Ford Mondeo]]. The name 'Freelander' is derived from the combination of 'Freedom' and 'Lander'.

After having built exclusively [[body-on-frame]] 4WD vehicles for half a century, the first generation Freelander was the brand's first model to use [[monocoque]] (unibody) structures,<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/23/new-land-rover-lr2-freelander-2-debuts-in-london|title=New Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2 debuts in London|publisher=Autoblog.com))</ref> and was offered in three- and five-door body options, including a semi soft-top. The second generation (2007–2015) dropped all two-door options, leaving only a five-door [[estate car]]-like body, and – after 62 years – became the brand's first ever to offer a two-wheel drive option (as of 2010).

After a five-year hiatus, the two-door Freelanders were succeeded by the three-door versions of the [[Range Rover Evoque]] in 2011, and the five-door generation 2 was replaced by the [[Land Rover Discovery Sport|Discovery Sport]] in 2015, the nameplate spanning two generations and less than eighteen years.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-york-motor-show/land-rover-discovery-sport-replace-freelander|title=2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport - pricing, specs and video|author=Steve Cropley|work=autocar.co.uk))</ref>

In 2024 Jaguar Land Rover and Chery announced they would build Freelander-branded Electric Vehicles in China.<ref>((cite web|url=https://carnewschina.com/2024/06/19/jaguar-land-rover-and-chery-will-build-freelander-branded-evs-on-chinese-platforms/ |title=Jaguar Land Rover and Chery will build Freelander-branded EVs on Chinese platforms ))</ref>

===Development===
In 1988, [[British Aerospace]] acquired the [[Rover Group]] for £150 million, which allowed resources across [[Rover (marque)|Rover]] brands and [[Land Rover]] to be pooled differently, and the idea of developing a smaller Land Rover became more attainable than previously.<ref name="Adams">((cite web|author=Keith Adams|title=The cars : Land Rover Freelander development story|url=https://www.aronline.co.uk/cars/land-rover/freelander-land-rover/the-cars-land-rover-freelander/|website=AR Online|access-date=2020-07-03|date=2011-07-23))</ref>

When the board approved the Pathfinder project, it was codenamed CB40 (after Canley Building 40, where the concept was initially developed).<ref name="Adams"/>

===Launch===
Remarkably, the new, compact Land Rover had become almost as long as the original Range Rover, that had been phased out just the year before, and even sported an inch (2.5 cm) ''longer'' wheelbase.<ref name="Adams"/>

===Production===
When [[BMW]] acquired [[Rover Group]], they terminated the agreement, and instead funded production facilities at [[Solihull plant|Solihull]], making use of the [[Rover SD1]] assembly hall which had been inactive in the early 1980s, when Rover car production was moved to [[Plant Oxford|Cowley]].<ref name="Adams"/>

In 2002, Land Rover SA was awarded export contracts to supply 1,000 left-hand drive Defenders to Angola and more than 3,000 right-hand drive Freelanders and Defenders to Australia. This followed the move by the manufacturer to build Freelanders for local distribution at the Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa's Q1, ISO 9001, and ISO 14001 certified assembly plant in Silverton, Pretoria. Paul Melhuish, then Land Rover SA’s sales and marketing director, said: " “From November this year we will commence shipment of approximately 3,000 Freelanders and 216 Defenders to Australia. The Freelander shipments will comprise both TD4 and KV6 models, while the Defender 110 CSW and the Defender 130 double cab models will make up the majority of the Defender sales figures."<ref name="magazine">((cite web|date=2002-06-25|title=Land Rover SA to export to Angola, Australia|url=https://www.carmag.co.za/news-blog/land-rover-sa-to-export-to-angola-australia/|access-date=2023-10-23|website=CAR Magazine|language=en-US))</ref>

===Popularity===
The Mk1 Land Rover Freelander was an instant hit and went on to become the biggest-selling four-wheel-drive model in Europe, with over 540,000 units sold over its nine-year lifespan.<ref>((cite web|author=Matt Burt|title=Land Rover Freelander 2003-2014 review|url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/land-rover/freelander-2003-2014|website=[[Autocar (magazine)|Autocar]]|access-date=2020-07-03|date=2014))</ref> The Freelander became Europe's best-selling 4WD vehicle for five consecutive years after launch in 1997; and in 2016 Land Rover embraced it as its 8th 'Heritage vehicle'.<ref name=LR_Int>[https://media.landrover.com/news/2016/01/best-selling-freelander-1-becomes-latest-land-rover-heritage-vehicle Best-Selling Freelander 1 Becomes Latest Land Rover Heritage Vehicle | Land Rover International]</ref>

=== Model variations ===
((Original research inline|section|date=April 2009))
[[File:Land Rover Freelander -- 09-26-2009.jpg|thumb|left|Pre–facelift Land Rover Freelander SE 5-door]]
[[File:2002-2003 Land Rover Freelander two-door -- 01-01-2012 rear.jpg|thumb|left|Pre–facelift Land Rover Freelander 3-door]]
There were a variety of models, based around five-door [[station wagon|estate]] and three-door softback (semi-[[convertible (car)|convertible]]), hardback, and commercial ([[van]]-like) versions. In 2004, Land Rover introduced an improved and upgraded version of the Mark I; changes included a new interior and major external revisions, including a new face and rear.

The three-door model was available in E, S, ES, Sport and Sport Premium trim and the five-door model in available in E, S, ES, HSE, Sport and Sport Premium trim.

=== Engines ===
Engine choices included:
* 1.8-litre [[Straight-four engine|I4]] [[Rover Group|Rover]] [[Rover K-series engine|K-series]] petrol (1997–2006), badged as '1.8i', 'Xi' or 'XEi' (Not sold in North America)
* 2.0-litre I4 Rover [[Rover L-series engine|L-series]] diesel (1997–2000), badged as 'Di', 'XDi' or 'XEDi'
* 2.0-litre I4 [[BMW M47]] diesel (2001–2006), badged as 'Td4'
* 2.5-litre [[V6 engine|V6]] [[Rover KV6 Engine]] petrol (2001–2006), badged as 'V6'

[[Manual gearbox]]es dominated the early models, but [[automatic transmission|automatic]] [[Tiptronic]]-style gearboxes (Jatco JF506E) became increasingly popular and were standard on the V6. The Automatic Tiptronic gearbox was also available as an option on the Td4.

=== Marketing ===
The first generation Freelander was marketed as a premium compact 4x4,<ref name=LR_Int/> and used in the 1998 [[Camel Trophy]] and participated in Land Rover's [[G4 Challenge]]. The vehicle represented a compromise because it did not have a low-range gear selection, nor a locking differential, as found on larger Land Rover models. This meant that in comparison to other Land Rovers, off-road performance was not as good. In comparison to similar models produced by other manufacturers in the same period of time like the [[Honda CRV]] or the [[Toyota RAV4]], however, the first generation Freelander was far more competent off-road.((citation needed|date=March 2024))

It had more than sixteen patented features, including the IRD or Intermediate Reduction Drive, which acted as a front differential and fixed ratio transfer; the VCU or viscous-coupling, which reacts to the differing rotational speed of the prop shafts, allowing varying torque across itself; and the [[Hill Descent Control system]],<ref name=LR_Int/> which was then implemented in the rest of the [[Land Rover]] range and even in the first generation [[BMW X5 (E70)|BMW X5]] (BMW was the parent company of [[Rover Group]] at the time of introduction of this model).

This first generation also used a Traction Control system and a special version of [[Anti-lock brakes|ABS]] produced by [[Wabco]], modified to assist driving in off-road situations.<ref name=LR_Int/> Lack of the MG Rover K18 and KV6 engines after the end of the MG Rover production led Land Rover to discontinue the model on 31 August 2005 in the U.S. and Canada.

The second generation was internally designated L359; debuted at the 2006 [[British International Motor Show]] and was marketed as the Freelander 2, retaining the ''Freelander'' name in Europe and marketed as the ''LR2'' in North America and the Middle East – mirroring the marketing of the new third generation [[Land Rover Discovery]] as LR3. A presentation at the [[Kensington Roof Gardens]] was held for journalists featuring celebrity tennis player [[Maria Sharapova]].<ref>[http://www.landrover.com/us/en/Company/News/LR2_News/LR2_News_Sharapova.htm Maria Sharapova reveals the all-new LR2] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928074723/http://www.landrover.com/us/en/Company/News/LR2_News/LR2_News_Sharapova.htm|date=2007-09-28))</ref> Production ended on 7 October 2014.<ref>((cite web|title=DISCOVERY SPORT PRODUCTION BEGINS|url=http://www.lro.com/news/land-rover/1410/discovery-sport-production-begins/|website=Land Rover Owner International|access-date=2015-06-14|date=2014-10-21|archive-date=2016-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304071423/http://www.lro.com/news/land-rover/1410/discovery-sport-production-begins/|url-status=dead))</ref>

The second generation Freelander is based on the [[Ford EUCD platform]], which itself is based on the [[Ford C1 platform]]. The Ford EUCD platform will be used by more upcoming vehicles from [[Volvo Cars|Volvo]]. The engine range is all-new for Freelander, featuring [[transverse engine|transversely-mounted]] 3.2-litre [[straight-six engine]] of the [[Volvo SI6 engine|Volvo SI6 series]], which debuted in the new Volvo S80, as well as the 2.2-litre [[PSA EW/DW engine#DW12|DW12]] [[common rail]] [[turbodiesel]] engine from [[PSA Peugeot Citroën]].

Unlike previous Land Rovers, the second generation Freelander is manufactured in the [[Halewood Body & Assembly]] facility, near [[Liverpool]], and was until 2009 manufactured alongside the [[Jaguar X-Type]] – as Jaguar X-Type and Landrover Freelander both used modified version of Ford's front wheel drive platform. The new Freelander features higher ground clearance and off-road capabilities that are closer to other Land Rover models.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.whatcar.com/news-special-report.aspx?NA=220413&EL=3162030|title=What Car First look: new Land Rover Freelander – Introduction|publisher=Whatcar.com|date=2006-06-20|access-date=2010-09-30))</ref>

[[File:Land Rover 13 MY LR2 - Premium New Look And Feel (8096035948).jpg|thumb|left|Interior]]
The second generation has improved quality interior with more safety features as standard.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.euroncap.com/tests/land_rover_freelander_2007/286.aspx|title=European report on Freelander safety|publisher=Euroncap.com|access-date=2010-09-30))</ref> The Freelander 2 features a modified version of the Terrain Response off-road driving system as fitted to the Discovery 3 and the [[Range Rover]]. The 4WD system was developed in conjunction with [[Haldex Traction|Haldex]] and was called Third generation coupling. Vehicles from the 2009 model year are fitted with a modified design of the active on-demand coupling, known as Haldex's Fourth generation.

The new Freelander was first marketed in the U.S. in 2007 as the LR2. The 2008 version is called the LR2 HSE. The limited run HST had added side trim, front valance, and 19-inch wheels. A Volvo 3.2-litre inline six-cylinder engine producing ((convert|230|hp|abbr=on)) is standard, with a six-speed [[automatic transmission]] and all-wheel drive. In the United Kingdom, the standard engine is the PSA 2.2-litre turbo diesel. The eD4 version of the engine produces ((convert|150|hp|abbr=on)), the TD4 comes with ((convert|160|hp|abbr=on)), and the SD4 comes with ((convert|190|hp|abbr=on)).

Interior appointments include an Alpine 440-watt 14-speaker surround sound audio and a 7-inch touch navigation screen options, while the newer models can be equipped with an Meridian audio system, which comes with a surround sound 17-speaker system with Trifield technology, producing 825 watts.((citation needed|date=March 2024))

The Meridian system is also equipped with subwoofers and Audyssey MultEQ audio tuning system. Also a 5-inch colour display screen is standard even at the newer entry-level models. An optional cold climate package includes heated front windscreen, heated front seats with two heating levels and heated windscreen washers. The optional lighting package includes bi-xenon headlights, adaptive front-lighting, memory for the driver seat, as well as exterior mirrors and approach and puddle lamps.((citation needed|date=March 2024))

===Freelander 2 TD4_e===
The Freelander TD4_e features stop-start technology to improve fuel economy and reduce [[carbon emissions]]. The system cuts out the engine when the vehicle is stationary, neutral is selected and the clutch engaged; the engine restarts when the clutch pedal is depressed.<ref>((cite web|last=Baker|first=Erin|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/carreviews/3709476/Land-Rover-Freelander-TD4e-StopStart-review.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081227020229/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/carreviews/3709476/Land-Rover-Freelander-TD4e-StopStart-review.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2008-12-27|title=Land Rover Freelander TD4_e launch of the first of its low-emissions initiatives|work=The Telegraph|date=2008-12-12|access-date=2010-09-30))</ref>

The system includes a heavy-duty starter motor that also acts as a generator to recover energy through [[regenerative braking]] that is then stored in capacitors to restart the engine reducing stress on the vehicle's battery and electrical system.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.channel4.com/4car/rt/land+rover/freelander+2/26622/2|title=Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4_e (2009–); Car Review; Road Test; 4car|publisher=Channel 4|access-date=2009-08-30|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090514070634/http://www.channel4.com/4car/rt/land%2Brover/freelander%2B2/26622/2|archive-date=2009-05-14))</ref> The stop-start system became available in spring 2009 on Freelander 2 TD4 models.

===Freelander 2 eD4===
For the first time in Land Rover's history,<ref>Not counting [[Freight Rover]]s</ref> from the 2011 model year, a purely two-wheel drive version, badged eD4, was available. This model also dropped the Terrain Response and Hill Descent Control systems.<ref name=GCG_uk>[https://www.greencarguide.co.uk/car-reviews-and-road-tests/land-rover-freelander-2-ed4/ Land Rover Freelander 2 eD4 – GreenCarGuide.co.uk]</ref> Omitting four-wheel drive saved ((convert|75|kg|abbr=on)) of weight, and the eD4 achieved a combined economy figure of ((convert|47|mpgimp|L/100 km|0|abbr=on)), along with emissions of 158 g/km ((CO2)).

After introduction of the [[Range Rover Evoque]] in 2011, this model competed with the Freelander 2, especially with the eD4, as the Evoque was both cheaper to purchase, more efficient, more premium, and combined this with standard four-wheel drive.<ref name=GCG_uk/>

For the 2013 model year, the Freelander got a revised look with a different grille, and new interior trim.
