Land Rover Freelander Review Summary
"Among the best-riding compact SUVs."
"Benefiting from a new powertrain and chassis improvements, the Freelander was the first Land Rover product with a unibody design and a fully independent suspension."
"...more enjoyable on a highway slog than the other Land Rovers because it corners more like a European car and less like an agricultural implement."
"The Freelander interior, especially with the HSE's "alpaca beige" leather upholstery and contrasting stitching, is rich and sumptuous, comfortable and unique, and its rear seat is surprisingly accommodating considering that the vehicle's overall package is fairly small. We love the heavy-duty rubber floor mats, and we appreciate the rear-seat fold-down center armrest, the little ceiling oddments nets, and the general aura of unmistakable Britishness."
What reviewers liked least about the Land Rover Freelander:
"In typical Land/Range Rover fashion, there's little logic to the secondary controls. Where are the window switches? Which way do you push them to, of all things, make the windows go down? The HSE's standard Harman Kardon stereo and Becker navigation system are even more inscrutable. The LED graphic depicting the earth and a rotating satellite is kind of cool, which is a good thing, because it might be the only entertainment you'll coax from this setup, so difficult is even the task of scanning for radio stations. Ah, the British."
Land Rover Freelander Comparisons:
"Land Rover freely admits that the Freelander won't go places a Discovery or Range Rover can, but claims it leads the segment in off-road ability. We think Jeep and Nissan would beg to differ."
Best one-liners about the Land Rover Freelander:
"It's a handsome vehicle but in a suburban station wagon way."
