Land Rover’s new Freelander 2 caught the eyes of hundreds of visitors in the 2006 British International Motor Show, making it one of the stars in the London exhibition. Visitors from the UK and Europe had taken quick glances and admired the new compact SUV from Land Rover.

“We’ve been delighted with the level of interest shown in the new Freelander 2. Not only have visitors been making a bee-line to our stand to see the car in the metal for the first time but we’ve had thousands of people asking for more details about it. We are confident many of those inquiries will turn into sales. It’s been a really successful show for us,” said Andy Griffiths, UK Marketing Director of Land Rover.

The Freelander 2 is an update of the earlier Land Rover Freelander. Like its predecessor, the Freelander 2 is an all terrain 4WD with the exceptional on-road performance and off-road ability of a true Land Rover model, and of course with quality Land Rover Freelander parts. The new Freelander 2 is equipped with two new engines - the 2.2-liter TD4 and the 3.2-liter i6 petrol. The fine, elegant interior offers a leather comfortable seats that allows its occupants to feel a smooth riding experience.

The patented technology from Land Rover, which is the Terrain Response technology, is also included in the new Freelander 2.
