Land Rover Freelander 2

With its chunky styling, The Land Rover Freelander 2 looks like a junior Discovery 4. This gives it real credibility among rivals like the BMW X3 and Audi Q5.  Add Land Rover's legendary reputation for producing rugged off-road vehicles and it's clear why the Freelander 2 still appeals when faced with newer German rivals. Fine to drive on-road and very capable off it, the Freelander 2 is a brilliant all-rounder, though it's not exactly what we would describe as cheap.

Land Rover's Freelander 2 has gradually evolved from a small yet capable SUV into a premium 4x4 for those wanting the class and ability of a Discovery 4 in a smaller more manageable package. It feels solid inside, but rear seat passenger space isn’t quite as generous as its size suggests. All versions drive well on and off the road and the high driving position appeals. Land Rover also offers a more economical front-wheel drive eD4 model.
