2013 Land Rover LR2 / Freelander 2, A Family Resemblance

LR_FL2_13MY_Detail_230812_36LR_FL2_13MY_Dynamic_230812_13LR_FL2_13MY_Detail_230812_54LR_FL2_13MY_Interior_230812_48LR_FL2_13MY_Detail_230812_38

More visual and technical updates that bring the entire family closer together.  I’ve never minded the LR2, I’ve only driven them as loaner cars.  And they were clearly old school plastic interior Land Rover.  This latest round of updates is great, but unfortunately just makes me realize how close it is to the Evoque and how much better it could be.  But either way, it’s all coming together, great job LR!!

I secretly kind of wish they’d “float the roof”, just sayin’

Land Rover’s Freelander 2 SD4 Sport Limited Edition tweaks the Freelander in the right direction #landrover

Land Rover is really busy putting out these UK only special editions.  This time it’s the Freelander 2 that’s getting the treatment.  I actually don’t mind the Freelander or the LR2 as it’s called here in the States.  But after the big refresh for the other Land Rover & Range Rovers in 2010, the interior really needs an update – they’re still even using the old steering wheel.  But overall, it’s a comfortable vehicle that’s not bad to drive.

This Sport Limited Edition adds the usual interior & exterior tweaking where they play with the colors  on the exterior trim  (door handles, grills, vents, etc…) and add in interesting leather combos.  Wheels look good too, they’re 19” and called Shadow Chrome.  And I think I like the red interior trim strip on the dash as opposed to the faux wood trim – blacked out front grill also really gives the vehicle a stronger look, maybe it should become standard?  Enjoy.
