What does Edmunds.com Say?
“With less capability than true dirt
runners and less of a prestige factor than
BMW's X3, it's hard to make much of a case
for the Freelander.”
The Pros and Cons from Edmunds.com
Pros
Excellent on-road handling for an SUV, permanent
all-wheel drive, still capable off-road.
Cons
Expensive for a compact SUV, tight on cargo
space, V6 engine on the weak side, no side
airbags, SE3's hard top is hard to install.
Safety
The Freelander earned an "Acceptable"
rating (the second highest on a scale of
four) from the IIHS in the 40-mph frontal
offset crash test. In side-impact testing
of small SUVs also conducted by the IIHS,
the Freelander received a "Poor"
rating (the lowest).
The Freelander is equipped with four-wheel
antilock brakes with Electronic Brakeforce
Distribution and standard all-wheel drive.
Hill Descent Control helps prevent uncontrolled
slides on off-road trails. Unlike other
vehicles in the price point, the Land Rover
lacks stability control, or side or head-curtain
airbags. |
