The Freelander 2 'White and Black'

THE FREELANDER 2 ‘WHITE & BLACK’ SPECIAL EDITIONS FOR 2010

The Freelander 2 ‘White & Black’ Special Editions are new entry-level additions to the Freelander 2 range for the 2010 model year, and will be on sale in January 2010, priced from £19,495 on-the-road.

The Special Editions are available in Alaska White and Santorini Black and both come with the Ebony cloth interior. They represent a lower entry price with a more generous specification and complement the new Freelander 2 Sport, also on sale at the start of next year.

The Freelander 2 ‘White & Black’ models feature the six-speed manual 2.2-litre diesel powertrain, complete with keyless starter button and Land Rover’s intelligent Stop/Start e_technology which delivers combined fuel economy of 42.2mpg. Privacy glass, 17” alloy wheels and load space cover are also standard.
John Edwards, Land Rover UK managing director said: “With a price less than £20,000 and the economical yet powerful diesel engine featuring intelligent Stop/Start technology, the Freelander 2 ‘White & Black’ Special Editions represent exceptional value for money in the compact SUV sector.  Couple this with the vehicle’s enhanced styling and specification, the ‘Special Editions’ not only offer the Freelander 2’s trademark ever-ready versatility, but are pleasing to the pocket and to the discerning eye.” 

The Freelander 2 is Land Rover’s best-selling model, with over 44,000 sold in the UK since launch in 2006.  Sales so far for 2009 represent a 16% share of the sector.

What Car? Car of the Year awards 2010 - 4x4 winner

Land Rover Discovery 3.0 TDV6 XS
List price £41,375
Target price £38,866

Buyers might be deserting full-size 4x4s in favour of smaller, more affordable alternatives, but for those who still want the full-flavour version, we reckon there’s only one option – the Land Rover Discovery.

We named the Discovery as our overall Car of the Year back in 2005, but its brilliance remains undimmed. In fact, thanks to a recent comprehensive update, the Discovery is shining brighter than ever. Every area of the car has been improved. Inside and out, there’s a slick new look, although the Disco’s rugged charm hasn’t been diluted.

The brilliant new 3.0-litre diesel engine has given the Discovery a major boost: it’s much stronger than the 2.7 it replaces, yet is 2.7mpg more fuel efficient. Some subtle improvements have made the Discovery even better to drive, too – the ride is as cosseting as ever, but the car is a bit more nimble on twisty roads.

What hasn’t changed is the Discovery’s incredible practicality: thanks to its roomy cabin and versatile seven-seat layout, it’s perfect for big family trips.

It’s the Discovery’s ability to excel at so many different roles that makes it so appealing. As well as offering executive car comfort and MPV practicality, it’s still a real go-anywhere off-roader. Thanks to lots of ground clearance, hill descent control and Land Rover’s clever Terrain Response system, you can be sure that the Discovery will get you where you want to go without a fuss.

At more than £41,000, our chosen XS model isn’t cheap, but many rivals cost more and it comes with everything you’ll need as standard, including leather seats, sat-nav and parking sensors. When you consider that the Discovery is so many great cars in one, it’s a bargain.
