Second-Hand Land Rover Freelander
Used Land Rover Freelander
Land Rover certainly showed their rivals how a small 4x4 should be designed and constructed with the Freelander. Although many have produced similar vehicles that look just as tough, in reality, they never quite cut it like the Freelander does. With a quality construction, you can't go far wrong with a second-hand model either. Launched back in 1997, the Land Rover Freelander received immediate and widespread acclaim. For most, the used Land Rover Freelander was a completely original design which was largely based on the old-style Range Rover.
What You Get
If you want something that offers excellent off-road capabilities while still looking sleek and stylish, a second-hand Freelander may just be the answer you’re looking for. Not only does it boast rugged good looks, but it’s also full of innovate technology that makes this car a real pleasure to be in. Not least perhaps because of all those tiny details that set the car apart from its competitors; details such as the button operated rear door that drops with a simple touch allowing the owners to load up their shopping without the need to open the back. The drink holding elastic bars in the doors were also a great touch.
How it Drives
With the Hill Descent Control system, the used Freelander certainly makes light work of any off-road driving. A special trigger located on the gear lever will trigger the HDC system, allowing the driver to descend a slippery, steep slope at a fixed speed of 5.6mph. The system makes use of both first gear and the anti-lock brakes for this function and if the conditions worsen the speed will automatically reduce to 4.4mph. A used Land Rover Freelander can go places that the average family car would struggle with. Whether it be boggy fields, potholed roads or even shallow rivers, a used Freelander driver could tackle it all without any fear.
