New Freelander 2 SD4 Sport Limited Edition presented in Bologna

The Bologna Motor Show in Italy was chosen by Land Rover as the stage for the presentation of the Freelander 2 SD4 Sport Limited Edition, a special edition of the brands’ best-selling model.

For this Limited Edition the Freelander 2 has received an updated and sportier interior and exterior design, which is combined with the space and practicality of the current model.

In terms of exterior design, the Freelander 2 SD4 Sport Limited Edition has received a sophisticated black finish to the grille and the side vents, a new body styling pack which offers cleaner profiling to the front corners, and a choice of three exterior colors: Fuji White, Santorini Black or the all-new Firenze Red. A rear spoiler has also been added together with 19" Shadow Chrome alloy wheels, body colored door handles and mirror caps. Finally a privacy glass has been fitted to emphasize the dynamic look of this premium limited edition.

Inside the Freelander 2 will be finished in Ebony Windsor leather with contrast Pimento stitch, or Ebony Napoli leather with matching contrast Windsor leather highlight stripe on the seats. The Limited Edition will also feature the Piano Black fascia finisher that is combined with Ebony carpet mats with a contrast edge of either Ivory or Pimento.

The Freelander 2 SD4 Sport will be powered by the new state-of-the-art 190PS diesel engine which is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in more than 8.7 seconds and reach a top speed of 190 km/h.

The Limited Edition is fitted with the Intelligent Power Management System (IPMS), which recharges the battery with the recovery of kinetic energy when the vehicle is slowing, rather than consuming fuel by charging when the vehicle is accelerating. The Freelander 2 Sport SD4 Limited Edition is also compatible with 10 percent biodiesel rather than five percent. Thanks to this features the Limited Edition, the improved efficiency reduced the CO2 emissions to 185 g/km.

“The Freelander 2 SD4 Sport Limited Edition offers customers the practicality, performance and efficiency of our best-selling compact SUV with more dramatic, sporty styling and the overall package represents good value for money,” said Colin Green, managing director, Land Rover UK.

Since its launch in 2006 the Freeander 2 has sold over 215,000 units and is currently Land Rover’s best-selling model.
