Last year, the popular car brandLand Rover stopped production of the Land-Rover-Freelander-2 model. Instead of it now - Discovery Sport. And for those wishing to buy a car of the last release, only the models with mileage were left. Let's look at the basic variants of this instance and find out how to choose a used car.
The second-generation version hit the market in 2006and enjoyed great demand until 2010. But then the manufacturer decided to make a small restyling. Identify this model can only optics and discs, as well as body colors.
Those motorists who closely followedthe development of this model range, know that the update in 2010 was cosmetic, but also a new, upgraded 2.2 liter turbodiesel unit was installed. The 2013 model has also undergone modernization, but there are practically no differences in appearance with the previous years. Everything is inside and under the hood.
But here everything is not as simple as it seems.Behind the company runs an unpleasant chain of events since the late 90's. The power of Land Rover was sold to BMW, which took several developments for the X5, then - the third generation of the Range Rover disgusting quality, and then the company's transfer to the leadership of Ford. On Ford began to engage in the implementation of new developments and innovations, but then the crisis of 2008 followed, and the project was canceled. At the beginning of the zero brand could be compared to a talented child who loved music, but at the behest of his parents was engaged in boxing. But, despite all the obstacles, engineers from Land Rover were able to do something.
At the wheel of an off-road car "Land-Rover-Freelander-2"there is some kind of solidity. The controls are large, stocky, and the landing is traditionally high. The door slams shut, as if a giant is knocking on a tree with his club. At the same time, high structural strength is felt. As for sound insulation, it is not at the premium level. Although it is difficult to compare with what KIa does.
The quality and materials of the finish may seemcheap, and plastic is very tough tactile. But it's not so - it's all very nice. In general, the interior is quite strict and solid. Everything is done very classically. The look in this interior stops on the instrument panel with a large color display. Here you can see the temperature sensors, fuel level and other characteristics. In addition to the indication of the trip computer, the Terrain Response menu is easily displayed on the screen. So, you can see the mode of operation of the system and the angle at which the front wheels are deployed.
Look at how this system works in the off-road vehicle "Freelander-2". The test speaks for itself.
Also, the potential owner will find in the cabina new steering wheel, a handbrake, and an upgraded central console. The multimedia system is represented by a seven-inch touch screen. Pleases the presence of voice control, and for music lovers the sound of Meridian is presented. These are 11 speakers with a total output of 380 watts or 17 speakers with a power of 825 watts. Impressive? It's great, but it's not available in the database.
Some consider ergonomics of the interior as nothingvisible. But the car is simply stunning in this respect and completely justifies all the means invested in it. In addition, this is the last real Land Rover.
We are talking about the off-road vehicle "Frilender-2" usedstate, and hence, it is necessary to approach the question from this point of view. So, the car does not shine with perfection. The diesel engine, namely with it it is recommended to purchase this crossover, was used earlier on Ford Transit. And then when that person that sells the car, will say that the engine is checked by time, then you need to understand that the unit is very outdated. These engines have been produced since 2000. But there is nothing terrible in this, of course. The only thing is fuel consumption, like Airbus, and complex electronic components and the presence of a turbine will not allow the diesel fuel to be drained from familiar truckers.
In our country offer an SUVFreelander-2 diesel. This is already a well-known 2.2-liter engine with a capacity of 160 liters. from. However, there is still a 150-horsepower unit with a mechanical or automatic box and a 190-horsepower motor. For the domestic user, it is completed only with an automatic device. Both units produce the same torque. Both versions have turbochargers with the possibility of changing the geometry.
In models from 2013, engineers replaced the unit with a 2.2-liter diesel with a capacity of 240 liters. from. Now it is economical, powerful, with good traction characteristics.
Aisin Warner is designed for fast and responsivework. But also the box is quite economical. For example, the operation of the torque converter lockout has a wider range. Developers have reduced the weight of the checkpoint and optimized it inside. The mechanical box for this model did not undergo any changes after the modernization and remained the same as it was.
Yes. This is exactly so.In the Top Gear show, the model was undesirably rejected because of its low-key appearance. But he is talented in the other. The second generation is built on a rigid frame platform. Front and rear mounted women's stretchers. Suspension is long-traveled, simple and maintainable. With her problems do not happen.
On the roadless driver will help a uniqueelectronic motion control system, as well as permanent all-wheel drive. On the off-road vehicle "Freelander-2" the price is quite democratic and even affordable, if we talk about cars with mileage.
Yes, the owners talk a lot about flawselectronics. She often makes mistakes. About the outdated engine has already been said, the sounds of the working suspension will be heard very clearly. However, as to appearance, here it is possible to argue safely. Lovers believe that it is ideal: simple, brutal and laconic. With all those flaws, the car turned out to be a real fighter. And repair ("Freelander" 2nd generation), when properly operated, will be reduced to the replacement of consumables.
Engine - 2.2 liters, with a capacity of 150 or 190 liters. from. The fuel consumption is 7.0 liters per 100 km. Transmission six-speed automatic. The car can overcome fords up to 500 mm.

On the off-road vehicle "Frilender-2" the price is from 600 thousand for the copies of the first years of release to 2.5 million rubles for the maximum equipment. But, of course, the cost is slightly overstated. Choose a crossover of 3-4 years and 2.2-liter simple turbo-diesel unit.
The manufacturer offers a warranty on the machinefor a period of three years. Buying a three-year car, the buyer will certainly receive a service history on hand. This is a small, but still confident in the future. The engines are especially popular turbo diesel with a capacity of 150 liters. from. It is better programmatically, and the turbine is cooled by oil and antifreeze. Also the difference in the tax.
Among the complete sets can be identified three.This is S, SE, HSE. Engines to choose from, too, actually, three. This is already familiar diesels, as well as a 2-liter gasoline with a capacity of 240 "horses". The complete sets differ among themselves with materials of salon, electronic functions and equipment, and also exteriors.
