Land Rover Freelander Station Wagon (03-06) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Freelander is ideally suited to upmarket 4x4 buyers who want serious off-road capabilities in a compact package. It may be Land Rover’s entry-level model, but it still wears the best badge in the business. It’s the finest off-road performer for its category and age and although fuel economy is a little eye watering around town, it’s a decent car to drive around town. Freelander has been on sale since 1997, but this 2003 facelift gave it a smoother look with new headlamps and an upgraded interior. As well as the five-door station wagon, Freelander is also available as a three-door, sold as Hardback and Softback.

Buying used

Freelander 2’s launch will also have a domino effect on used prices. There are plenty of used Freelanders available in the Land Rover used approved network, and all vehicles come with a 30-day/1,000 mile exchange policy if you’re unhappy after purchase, plus one-year unlimited mileage warranty cover and European roadside assistance. Station Wagons aged over two-years old also get a one-year MoT test warranty. Reassuringly, all Land Rovers get an independent mileage and previous ownership check, and undergo a rigorous inspection and preparation regime before being sold, so they should be in fine condition.

Selling

On paper it may seem like a mediocre car in its class but there is still a strong demand for the Freelander and you should have little difficulty selling when it's time to change cars. Its off-road abilities and respected badge will undoubtedly increase its appeal.
