Land Rover Freelander second generation in the secondary market. Diesel engine TD4 Weak places Flealender 2 with mileage

The oculum of crossovers ripped up as an alarm raised by alarm, and cooperation with Ford concern has brought its fruits: the use of the exhaust EUCD platform (it is C1 Plus) and the experience of Fords managers made it possible to solve the solar problem of reliability of car brand. Indeed, in addition to Freelander 2, many bestsellers were built on this platform as Ford brand (for example, Mondeo, Escape, Kuga, Galaxy and S-MAX) and Volvo (S80, XC70, XC60 and V70).

It is also worth noting that the British designers managed to create a surprisingly balanced car, quite appropriate to the definition " compact crossover Class "Premium", and at the same time not to be off-road imaging brand. Yes, and the price turned out to be at all excited (although, of course, it was impossible to attribute it to budget models).

All this allowed the company proudly to declare that she has a truly mass model.

Indeed, in just 4 years, the volume of release passed for a quarter of a million, and by the end of 2014, more than 300 thousand freelander ran along the roads of the planet 2. The crossover and in Russia became considerable popularity. But if you dig on the network and see what the owners say about the model, it may seem that you read the collection of contradictions. For example, the reliability and quality of this car are both among the most frequently mentioned advantages and among the main deficiencies! So for what they love and scold Land Rover. Freelander 2?

Hate # 5: Little trunk

Any crossover is bought as a versatile car, and for a universal car it is important to be able to transport the solid volume of cargo. It would seem that of such a solid and massive car (body length - 4.5 meters, width - 2.2 meters, wheelbase - 2 660 mm) and the trunk must be CO. But the first thing that detects new ownerSo this is what actually the luggage compartment is not so great. Yes, what is there, we will speak honestly: the little of Freelander 2 trunk.

Clear British are written in the signs that its volume is 755 liters and, in general, do not lie. But this is the entire volume, under the ceiling. And if you measure it as we used, that is, up to the glazing line, then exactly 322 cubes in 1 liter are closed into the luggage compartment. Plus, the floor of the trunk is at the height of "you on the belt will be", so shove in the trunk heavy things (such as boat motor) - then the pleasure.

The next chagrin comprehends the owner of Frilik when he first tries to get a lot in the car for the night. Well, yes, the rear sofa is folded, only it develops in this way: first the rear sofa cushion is folded forward, then the back of the back (more precisely, pillows and backs, because the seats are folded in proportions 60:40). It turns out a playground with a smooth floor, and it is good. It is bad that the cushion is "eating" for at least 30-40 centimeters, and the length of the resulting site turns out to be less than one and a half meters. In general, a married couple of a C-finger boy and a thumbnail will arrange sleep with comfort, and with an increase in 182 cm there is not even diagonally.

Love # 5: exterior appearance

At least half of the reviews as an essential advantages of the model called external appeal. Indeed, the external appearance of the Frilika can be attributed to unconditional luck of the designers team under the leadership of the Hanskok field: from any angle, the car is definitely recognized as a representative of the glorious Land Rover tribe, while despite the simplicity of lines, it does not look a sullen "suitcase." It seems that, typical middle peasant: not small and not large, not high and not low, in the measure of Brutalen, in moderation is aggressive, but not deprived of aristocratic elegance.

At the same time, a typical "unisex". Behind the wheel of Freelander 2, the unshaven adventure seeker in camouflage, and a manager in a business suit, and a representative of a creative class in a youth prikide, and fashionista in a dress from an expensive boutique are equally organically. And some of some similarities of general outlines and pattern of rubber cladding with Range Rover and Range. Rover Sport It is enough so that many drivers of cars are more compromised, barely freezing "Freil" in the rear-view mirrors, hurried to give way to the road.

Hate # 4: Steering wheel and signal

And if the road is still not inferior, it means that you need to bib! Well, it may not be too fits into the rules of good tone. But it never never happens on the road of situations when it is necessary to prevent your presence sound signal: The careless pedestrian goes the road in an unidentified place, the cover of the head of the hood and without looking around, then the driver of the Gazelle is trying to play the "selfless" watchman and the cruiser "Yorktown" - that is, is rebuilt with the "method of slow naval". And here you are familiar to the wheel of the steering wheel - and in response silence, because Klakson turns on with two keys in the form of strips located on the sides of this hub. Worse can only be "Bibikalka" in the end of a steeot lever ...

A lot of complaints causes the quality of the ruling upholstery, and both the skin on the top version of HSE and plastic on the equipment is simpler.

But in the assessment of the steering wheel, the opinions of the owners are diverged diametrically. It seems to someone that the steering wheel is too big, and the cross section is smooth, without such a cute heart of the "ergonomic influx" riders, and someone (and me including), all this is just like.

Love # 4: Interior and Ergonomics

But all the rest of the arrangement of the internal space Freelander 2, as a rule, causes only positive emotions. Materials are very high-quality - both skin, and cloth, and soft plastic. Maybe by measure today's day The instrument panel looks simple, but the digitization and speedometer, and the tachometer is perfectly reading in the afternoon and at night. Everything is comfortable, everything is at hand. Especially good seats with adjustable lumbar backup and electric drives.

The engine starts with a button. Now this will not surprise anyone, and 2006 such a decision was characteristic of much more expensive and representative cars. To start the engine to start the engine, it is necessary to insert the keychain into a special slot to the left of the steering wheel, you need to get used to, but this solution has a completely obvious plus: when the engine running the battery, the battery is charging, and you should not be afraid that in some kind The moment you cannot open the car due to the fact that you have a battery. Well, in case you left the parking machine with the headlights on the parking lot, the main battery landed, and the locks were blocked in the "closed" position, the sting of the mechanical key hides in the body. This will allow you to open the doors, shove the lever of the hood lock and "searcate" from a battery of some kind of compassionate samaritan.

Very good and review. First of all, because of the company's "commander" (more precisely, the "semi-commitant", after all, this is not Defender) landing. Many consider the salon mirror too small, but this deficiency is completely compensated for large, like a real SUV, mirrors, and ultrasonic sensors and a rear view camera helps in parking (which, however, is only in top-end sets). And absolutely everyone likes the exceptionally high-quality sound of the speaker system Meridian.

Hate # 3: Bad Noise Isolation

But here is an ambush: still Sync Freelander. And it is not annoying at all the rumbling of a 2.2-liter diesel engine - it works although not silently, but also does not rumbles in a tractor. No wonder the overwhelming majority of sales accounted for diesel versions. Moreover, in Russia they amounted to more than 95% of all sold freelander! But aerodynamic noises and road noise from wheel arches, both rear and front - here they are annoyed very pretty. You can, of course, take care of additional noise insulation, but it means serious investments, and the problem is radically, most likely, will not solve. So most owners just prefers bad road Make the sound of the very wonderful Meridian media system.

Love # 3: good handling and permeability

As it should be good crossover, in terms of the perception of the road cover "Frick" is absolutely omnivorous. Its suspension is readily straightened and with a gentle wave, and with small irregularities, and with serious strumies and yams, without requiring infringement. In fact, the car handling deserves to talk about it more objectively.

On the one hand, there are crossovers that ruling significantly better, especially on a good asphalt - for example, the same BMW or Audi. But they are tired of them are significantly more, especially, in long routes in the Russian outback, where good asphalt is rather rare than the rule. On the other hand, the fact that there are cars with more honed and acute control, does not mean that in the case of Freelander, everything is very sad. Yes, the car rolls in turns more than commensurate sedans and hatchbacks, but these rolls do not go beyond permissible.

It looks very good and the situation with acceleration and braking dynamics. The six-speed automatic provides exceptionally correct control of the burden, so the desire to go to the manual gear mode arises very rarely. Freelander accelerates quite confidently, and leave the traffic light in a margin even when there are much more powerful cars. Then they will certainly catch up with you, but it will be later ... But in general, the annoying "Frick" reminds not so much the kernel released from the gun, as if we tried an electric train. It seems like nothing happened, and you didn't push you into the back of the chair, and on the speedometer is already a hundred.

In this, by the way, there is a certain ambush. In terms of subjective perception of the speed, Freelander has two positions: "stand on the spot" and "food". And 20, and 120 km / h perceived almost the same, and the difference between 75 and 85 km / h (determining, you will receive a "letter of happiness" or not) is not felt at all. In general, for a long time, the only rival Freelander on the ride comfort within the segment of compact premium crossovers was Mercedes GLK.

Hate # 2: Expensive service

Just like cars with a three-beam star, Freelander is quite expensive in service, especially if you use the services official dealers. All this is superimposed by the fact that for cars released before and after 2012, there are different service regulations, and, of course, in each case, individual for gasoline and diesel versions.

So, for dorestayling cars, the oil change in the distribution, mechanical gearbox And the rear axle gearbox is allowed to produce in 240,000 km run, and since 2012, these operations have been carried out at a run of 130,000 km (except for maintenance of mechanical gearbox, oil in which you need to change every 10 years regardless of the run). Conversely, the replacement of spark plugs until 2012 was produced when running at 48,000 km, and after 2012 - when running 78,000 km.

And in any case, all this costs non-sash. For example, for cars released in the period 2010-2011, the cost of the oil change in automatic box When running at 48,000 km can reach 50,000 rubles. It is clear that the overwhelming majority of Freelander owners are people, although not distinguished, but also to the "owners of life" are also not related.

The natural process was the migration in the so-called "club" services specializing in the maintenance and repair of Land Rover, but not included in the official dealer network. There you will clearly say that the engine oil needs to be changed at least by 12,000 km or once a year, and the oil in the machine - at least 1 time in 65,000 km. But the oil in the mechanical gearbox, in the distribution and in the gearboxes of bridges (with the exception of the rear) can be actually changed less than once every 130,000 or 240,000 km, as it is spelled out in the official regulation. Fuel filter need to change on each air filter - Once, hoping a check of its condition.

Love # 2: Though in Siberia!

If you treat the car with attention and love, then he will answer you reciprocity. In particular, this applies to operation in the winter, the most difficult period for all motorists.

It is not surprising, but the car designed on the British Islands washed in the warm Golfustrian, and even a diesel engine equipped with a diesel engine, one of the most "winter-resistant" models in our market can be called one of the most "winter-resistant" models. First, all Freelander was equipped with full-time Preparation webasto heaters With remote launch. They have their own sores: until 2013, a rather closed Webasto Thermo Top V was put on the car, and then after the new (and almost eternal) boilers with the burner of the evaporative type Webasto Thermo Top Vevo. Anyway, with a good heater and relatively fresh candles, Diesel Freelander 2 prefigured confidently, even when the thermometer column drops below 30.

But also the engine, the owner of the Freelander will continue to rejoice in life: he does not have to, sick everything in the world, fiercely rubbing fruitless to the full opacity of the windshield. It is enough to click on the Prog button located on the center console, and the car will switch to quick warm-up mode. Turns on electrical heating windshield and rear window, washer nozzles and side mirrors, the engine will increase turnover, and climatic installation Earls at maximum power. Naturally, for the coziness of the loin (and the fact that below) you can enable heated seats. A couple of minutes - and the "janitors" will cut down the lowered ice from the windshield, on the side glasses there will be deciding the windows, and the temperature in the cabin will rise to acceptable values. You can touch on the road ... And this is despite the fact that heating many diesel off-roads, even a premium level, requires at least 10-15 minutes.

Hate # 1: And still it breaks ...

Nevertheless, the main stumbling block in the Freelander 2 evaluation is its reliability. Literally everything converge on the fact that in the range of Land Rover, this model is the most trouble-free. Maybe the fact is that the car is although equipped with a rather large number automatic systemsAll the same is not completely "electronic".

But what is interesting: as I have already noted, the minimum half of the owners relates the reliability of Freelander 2 to the number of one of its main advantages, but the second half considers the reliability of the biggest problem. Indeed, the car has several tribal sores, which cannot be avoided to avoid anyone.

At the turn of a run of 60-80 thousand km (sometimes earlier, sometimes a little later), you will begin to annoy the rumble, which makes the rear axle. As a rule, the cause of it is the front bearing rear gearman. In the "officials" you will most likely be offered to change the gearbox assembly, and this is 32 thousand per gearbox itself plus work and liquid ... in general, it raids pretty. Fortunately, in specialized informal services acquired necessary tool And they adapted to sort out the gear, changing only the bearing itself and "disposable" parts. There is such an operation of thousands of 10-12.

Another generic sore - the death of the intercooler nozzles, which are overwhelmed about the adjacent metal parts, and simply burst.

As a result, the engine instantly loses the thrust and starts to smoke, and the display lights either "power limit" or Check Engine. This disease can be cured independently, and the set of nozzles can cost very differently: from thousands of 14-15 for the original set to 1,500 rubles for chinese analogs with Aliexpress. There are even the originals that put pipes from Kamaz, and what is surprising - everything works!

Well, in the rest of the problem and the price of their solutions are not different from other models. In general, all these actually existing shortcomings can not throw the shadow on the main advantage of the model.

Love # 1: Like a real "passable"!

The main advantage (for those who understand) is the best in the classroom in the level of "real SUVs" having disposal box and downstream. In any case, on the passability of Freelander 2 (naturally, on the respective tires) quite comparable to standard Nivi or Chevrolet Niva. (And this is despite the fact that they should not even stutter on their comfort).

It is worth mentioning and serious road clearance (220 mm are not bugs that you are not beetles), and the excellent security of all units under the bottom of the car, and strong bumpers, and diesel, providing serious traction on low revs.

The main weapon to combat off-road from Freelander 2 is definitely the branded system Terrain Response With the "Snow" modes, "Dirt / Poll" and "Sand", which until 2012 included a characteristic "washer", and after - buttons located in a number, as well as a system for descending from the slope. I will not go into the subtleties of the system management and how it works, I will only note that it (in the case of the correctly selected mode), ensures that the ESP does not "wanted" the engine when you need to move with slip, will not give the wheels to check When it is really harmful, and will help cope with diagonal hanging.

Naturally, Freilik has its own limit of opportunity. For example, he does not like a deep rut, and if you put a car for an intercolery borcor so that it sweels all four paws, then you will not have anything to do, except to run after the tractor. In general, it is recommended to include not only Terrain Response on the off-road, but also the head.

"City Patency" can not even be discussed: neither borders, nor bold-up yards and parking spaces for this car are not an obstacle.

Summing up, it can be said that the newly owner of Freelander 2 should be prepared for certain financial costs (especially since since 2015, only the secondary market can be the only source of purchase of this model). Based on this, "Frylik" should not buy for the last money, otherwise the owner may comprehend heavy disappointment. But in any case, the reasons for love this car is still more than reasons for hatred, and financial investments pay off in a terrific confidence that you experience in any road conditions, and driving comfort.

Do you like or hate Freelander 2?

The first attempt of the company Land Rover will consolidate in the market of "parquet" SUVs, which steadily felt the sales of real "passing", ended in general successfully. Freelander found his niche despite obvious problems with the gamut of engines and actually passability. Work on the errors went in the process of release of the model, and initially weak and the economical machine eventually received powerful motors And your circle of buyers, appreciated style, comfort and dynamics.

The second generation of the car was published in 2006 and the predecessor inherited only the name, style and the main direction of development. That fancy tangle from Honda and BMW technologies, which lay down the first generation, was left in the past, and new car Created to the newstone ford., at that time belonged to the brand. The newest platform based on the development of Volvo and Ford was surprisingly successful, and the new freegender was the closest relative and, inheriting the motors, the architecture of the suspension and many internal components.

The presence of fast sedans in relatives does not mean at all that the world appeared to the world. The company made conclusions from the failures of the predecessor at the start and thoroughly worked not only over the ride chassions on the asphalt, but also over the ability of the car to overcome the "directions". As a result, the car turned out to be one of the most passable parquets capable of arguing with the machines, in the design of which there are razdatka, and bridges. A simple design with a transverse engine and clutch in the rear wheel drive performed by Land Rover is able to ride the harsh off-road. Of course, such possibilities are based on the widespread use of electronics, allowing to do without blocking differentials, and a powerful and high-speed Haldex coupling in a drive that can transmit all torque and not overheating after five minutes of snow or sand after five minutes.

Someone still considers the large amount of electronics with a serious disadvantage, but the practice of exploitation has shown that for this kind of cars, light and reliable electronics, which is not so often needed, is an excellent way out of the situation. Flealender will walk there, where it will not erupt and where even a serious SUV will be afraid, demanding an outstanding skill of the driver. At the same time, the car is very economical and convenient during operation in the native element - in the asphalt jungle. This is a truly comfortable and gorgeous car for every day, in which the gain "for SUV" does not hang a heavy greece over the wallet and the driver's soul, besides, the car is very good on the go. Let it not reach the more "asphalt" euch, but nevertheless in the urban streets, and on the highway behaves perfectly. Holders of larger Land Rover Discovery. It is quite reasonable to believe that Freelander is a simple car. But everything is known in comparison - for the owners of even Mercedes in the body of W204 it will be cozy here, because the salon is really premium both in terms of the quality of materials and by execution. It's just that the most entry level in the company's hierarchy, and it is expected to be easier than cars with a price twice as high. At the same time, it is impossible to say that in the comfort of the driver and passengers it is very inferior, because the front-wheel drive platform with good ergonomic parameters allows you to make the car inside very large. And unlike many other premium cars, it's really convenient here, there are no solutions to the detriment of ergonomics, even ventilation is almost perfect.

What else can I say about the car, except that this is a universal fighter with good off-road opportunities, excellent behavior on asphalt and really comfortable? Oddly enough, this is also a car of a challenging destiny, like her ancestor. While Jaguar Land Rover belonged to Ford, everything was quite simple: Volvo supplied gasoline motorsDiesel engines of joint Ford-PSA development went from Ford plants, design itself on the Fords of the same unified platform. But to the 2008 crisis, the Americans came with the One Ford program, providing for the refusal of all third-party brands, and Volvo and JLR were sold, with different owners. Jaguar Land Rover bought Indian Tata, and Volvo - Chinese Geely. Delivery of the solid part of the components for the platform remained in the hands of Ford. In general, after 2008, light chaos reigned, the profitability of the model decreased, but from the moment of launching too little time passed. Hence the "crawling" Facelifting with a gradual replacement of components after 2010 and full shift power aggregates In the interval of 2010-2012. The story of C, who experienced a lot of change due to the change of company owners and the change of platform suppliers. Of course, the presence of Jaguar's powerful engineering division in the group of a powerful engineering division in terms of engines and many other things, and also made Land Rover financial locomotive of the new company. The Jaguar brand is unprofitable so far, but Land Rover, despite the ambiguous image, on horseback, the profitability of these cars is more than worthy. By the way, about the image. In a story about the rotten subframes, and rusty wings, and "garlands" on the dashboard. No matter how good the ergonomics of English cars, they did not forgive such miscalculations with reliability, and the bad glory of English brands did not subside until now. Although over the past time, the company's cars have already risen very far from the "bottom" of reliability ratings, all the same than Glory goes. Sometimes reasonable, because on the same Discovery problems with electronics - rally ruleThan an exception, and the hero of today's story is also not immaculate.

Yes, the disco became a victim of the image, still a comfortable "real passing", and even smart enough to lead it to Him, any driver could drive it - this is just an engineering miracle, and solutions from "asphalt" cars feel bad, drowning in the snow and in swamp. But the reliability of machines that drive mainly on the asphalt is completely adequate to the tasks and their complexity. Flealender with the "right" engine and well-serviced delivery is less than German "premiums" with the same operation. A little worsened situation with the introduction of new diesel engines for 190 hp and a gasoline turbogo, they turned out to be more difficult and much more demanding to the style of operation and maintenance than the older generation of engines. However, most of "Scandalous exposures" are essentially jambs of dealers who traditionally count on customer loyalty and its ability to throw any problem with money.

A little about common problems

It is unlikely that the technique is obliged to withstand a shock race for borders, riding stairs, parking on concrete flower beds, many hours work on idling In the summer, alternating with races in the city. All the same cars are calculated on more devastating owners, and the reserve of reliability is necessarily finite. But it is worth noting that for the price that dealers are asked for service, it would be possible to expect to solve any problems in a minimum time and without proceedings, but in fact, miracles does not happen. A lot of money service basically wants for belonging to brand, premium service and coffee, and not at all for high-quality and fast repairs. Strange, but most of the owners of these machines refuses to go to the Land Rover Experience school, which are issued when purchasing. They are not inclined to "enter the club" and to learn something there - it looks like they buy something else.

Engines

The design has not so many weaknesses. Complaints causes a small resource of the crankshaft liners associated primarily with the use of low-viscosity oils on passenger cars (There is no such problem on commercial transport), and also a complex injection system and traditional diesel "trouble" with an EGR valve. The most powerful turbodiesel at 190 hp In addition, I received a complete package of problems with turbines, and at the same time and incomparably the big chances and the idle of the pistons during faults fuel equipment. However, due to the novelty, cases of failure are one. Well, once again see the section on tough exploitation - it is not a fact that breakdowns are not the consequences of this circumstance. The resource of a turbine of weaker versions is more than sufficient, on motors with runs in 200-250 thousand kilometers, it can still stand "native". For these motors, it is strongly recommended that the use of polynovole oils with a viscosity of SAE 40-50, and not "recommended" and with a normal replacement interval, not more than 10 thousand kilometers in Moscow traffic jams and no more than 15 - with periodic motion along the highway. It is worth remembering that for cleaning squeeze filterwhich is present on restying machines, it is more often for a high speed on the highway, and the procedure for cleaning it in the service for the motor is not very useful. And of course, a good technical solution in any case is its removal, but the ecology of the machines still need to respect and try to maintain. And it is better not as it turns out from BMW. As with all SUVs, it is worth paying attention to the state motor compartment, purity of radiators and installed bottom protection. The latter is often responsible for overheating of the motor and boxes. Although branches and garbage in the pumproom compartment can deliver no less hassle. The air filter replacement frequency in the manual is selected explicitly for operation in the city, if you ride outside the city, then it is worth changing the air filter at least once every 20-30 thousand kilometers. By the way, the intercooler's firepower on turbodiesels is surprisingly vulnerable, they need a regular replacement, and the intercooler itself is in verification, if there is no protective mesh in the bumper. Pressing the intake is often not included in the possibilities of official dealers, use Subaru and Saab services services, there usually have the necessary equipment.

Transmissions

Automatic gearboxes here are the same as on, AISIN TF80SC, and therefore the problems are the same. With an active movement, the early blocking quickly wear out the GDT, in the case of transmissions overheating, there are problems with a hydraulicone, so oil is recommended to change more often, at least once every 40-50 thousand mileage kilometers. But in general, the unit is very reliable and convenient, the main problems occur with constant off-road operation and hard driving style.

In 2012, the British company "Land Rover" presented their own brand fans, once again, the modernization of the Freelander crossover of the 2nd generation (the previous attempt to "rejuvenate" the model produced since 2006 occurred in 2010).

The first update of the "second frelander" was touched by not only the appearance of the crossover, but also some changes in technology were also occurred (which the owners were able to see in the subcapor space - in the form of an upgraded diesel 2.2-liter engine).

Two years later, "Freelander 2" was subjected to more significant interference from the designers and engineers (appearance, appearance, and technical filling) - this time the crossover received also new interior + Mass of interesting and useful options (not previously proposed on dorestayling models).

The front and rear lighting of the updated car received fashionable and necessary (provide improved visibility of the machine in the stream by other participants in the movement) LED elements. In headlight headlights, areas with diodes harmoniously complement the xenon light - look stylish and expensive. In the rear dimensions of LCD lamps are no less effective and impressive. The lining of the radiator has retained the form, but is supplemented with a strict chrome frame. The bumper became more massive, received a pronounced aerodynamic lip on the lower edge, the fog "dressed up" into chrome rings. Front updated version of the Freelander 2nd generation began to look solid and gained great similarity with the older models of the British company Land Rover.

The Restyled Freegender 2 profile has not changed - the difference from the previous version is only in a somewhat different form of the front wings with a more pronounced firewall profile and an extended selection of light-alloy patterns wheel disks. In the basic configuration, there will now be tires on R17 disks, and more "adults" diameters R18-R19 are offered as an option.

The rear part of the updated Parketnik remained untouched, with the exception, except that the plafoons of the dimensions received lED bulbs. Otherwise, all unchanged is: the large door of the luggage compartment of the right shape, the compact bumper is cut from below for the best geometric passability of the car outside the road with a solid coating.

The size of the car after restyling 2012 is: length - 4500 mm, width - 2005 mm (with mirrors 2195 mm), height - 1775 mm (with 1830 mm railings), height road Suit - 210 mm. To all changes in the exterior, the British manufacturer added advanced body selection capabilities - due to three new colors: Aintree Green, Havana and Mauritius Blue.

In the Freilender Salon 2012-2014, changes are much larger than outside. Appeared new dashboard With two strict dials and a multifunctional 5-inch color monitor located between them. Torpedo and the central console were transformed in the style of "adults Land Rover". The console crosses the 7-inch touchscreen installed to effectively control the new advanced audio system, navigator and output pictures from the rear view camera. In the database, however, there will be modest music CD MP3 USB AUX (8 80 W speakers with a 5-inch color monitor), but in expensive versions one of two options for the new music system Meridian with subwoofer. The first one gives 380 W through 11 speakers, the second - 825 W broadcasts from 17 points of broadcasting.
Below is the "smart" climate control control unit, which is able to provide the temperature programmable temperature to the driver's getting into the salon, be it cooling or heating the internal volume. The car acquired an electric "handler" with an effort control system depending on the corner of the parking surface, invincible access, voice command recognition feature, stylish analog clock. The Terrain Response system is now controlled by buttons, not a rotating handle. There are three possible color decisions of the interior trim: ebony, ivory, color of stewed vegetables (rich light brown).

In the second row due to 50 mm installed above (relative to the front armchairs), the seats are comfortable and convenient to sit. And from the rear row, the review is perhaps even better than from the front places.
Rear place with a margin in all directions for three passengers. The trunk in the hiking state has a volume of 755 liters, folding the rear row we obtain 1670 liters of the useful cargo space.

If speak about specifications - for the updated land Rover Freelander. 2 2012-2014 model year Two four-cylinder diesel engines are offered, familiar to Russian buyers on dorestayling "Parcattails", and the new gasoline "Four", which came to replace the six "six" I6 3.2 (233 hp).
New gas engine 2.0 Turbo EcoBoost (240 hp) with automatic on 6-steps, this unit is installed on Range Rover Evoque.
Diesel engines:

• TD4 2.2 (150 hp) with 6 MCP and start-stop system, fuel consumption in a mixed cycle is 6.2 liters of diesel fuel;
• TD4 2.2 (150 hp) with 6 AKP (optional with manual transmission gear Command SHIFT), consumes about 7 liters in a combined cycle,
• SD4 2.2 (190 hp) with 6 ACPs with Command SHIFT function is content with 7 liters and allows you to accelerate to 100 km / h in 9.5 seconds.

The suspension has not changed, however, like a full drive system with engine adaptation function, suspension and gearbox TERRAIN RESPONSE to road conditions.

Ownership reviews

Operation began with a trip to Kuzbass immediately after purchase. It was pleasantly surprised by the car. Fuel consumption on the track ranges from 8.2 to 9.5 liters, depending on how to harm. The city in different ways, but more than 12.8 liters did not rise in winter. In the cold, the launch of confident, after -12 heats up a regular web, although she launched without warming without warming up and in - 28, no longer tried - it's a pity.

For the first year, wrapped 35 tons. Km The car was held QC, Khakassia, Kuzbass, Baikal, Buryatia, and even visited China. If you compare with what I had previously, then comfort, shumka, chassis, engine and gearbox - at the height.

The chassis is configured comfortable, rolls are minimal. Dempults are much better than Koreans and the Japanese.

Engine 160 hp (400 nm) - sufficient, although you can chip until 190-200 hp no problem. Aisin 6-speed automatic machine - adequate. Stabilization systems are very competent. Works when it is necessary.

Off-road qualities are best in class and will give odds to almost all crossovers. Analogue on the off-road only SGV, but that only gasoline is still a general-purpose SUV.

Video Feedback

Impressions for two months of operation and 3,000 km:

- after sedans pleased that you can not think about the puddles and pit - high clearance, energy-intensive suspension and small skes do their job;

- people in reviews can not decide hard suspension or soft. But it's rather tough (for example, they are transferred to the steering wheel of asphalt, and rolls are minimal), but the long-terrestrial (i.e., you can easily go through the primer, do not slow down on the lying police, etc. - does not break through) ;

- regular rubber rugs have fastenings from below, as a result they finally do not eat and do not come down under their feet. But the driver's rug does not close the focus for the left leg, so you have to choose - to put it there only in good weather or dumping the salon;

- When opening the hatch, some vertical fly swatter rises, which is quite loudly noise at speeds above 60 km / h, so I use it mainly in the city. It pleases to close and the hatch and the "panoramic" window with full-time grids. Surprises the inability to close them with a completely ceiling panel, but does not bother;

- The whole positive that the people write in reviews about the exterior / interior - thick doors, comfortable seats, ergonomics, high landing, comfortable armrests - everything in principle was confirmed, another thing that personally, after so many sedans, a high landing is for nothing. But since the steering wheel is not bad in departure, I managed to choose something like the familiar "lying" landing;

- There is no connector for a flash drive in the radio, this is someone's stone age. But on Siberia was the same, so I continue to use the FM-MP3 transmitter from the cigarette lighter;

- Middle consumption in the city at an average speed of 20 km / h - 13 liters per hundred.

Alexander, review about Land Rover Freelander 3.2 (232 hp) automatic transmission 2011 G.V.

The exterior pleases the view (I'm at any case) from the front. From the side of the car I do not like absolutely, as if cutting down in the area of \u200b\u200bthe trunk, the back is a little better. However, in my opinion, it looks much courageous and brutal classmates type x3, Q5 or Rx.

The interior really liked. There was not enough places in the cabin after Tahoe, although it was quite enough (my height is 185 cm, weight 92 kg). Above the head is good space, and in the shoulders too, but I would like a little more longitudinal adjustment of the seats.

There is not much from behind, especially if you push the front seat back, but I took it into account, because Purchased car for two. The adjustments of the seat are enough, there is a lumbar side, the front seats are very comfortable, behind the backs of the back. Popogrevy work perfectly, climatic installation - on a solid five.

2.0 liter gasoline engine with turbocharger, issues 240 hp Pickup is just mad. Flealender managed to hit me even after Takho. Overclocking crazy. Overtaking on the track - Song!

The four-wheel drive is implemented through the connection of the rear wheels with a clutch, the connection is absolutely irregular. He did not climb hard on road, the main traffic is the city and the Tras. In winter, she climbed into the forest drifts, it rides confidently, but it is necessary to understand where the pellery should be ended and off-road for elevator, party-half, mud rubber, etc.

Managed freeleyr chic and easy. Yes, that's the way. Highly good review, lightweight steering wheel, intelligible pedals. No complaints. The track keeps like a blade in any weather, excluding ice. On the ice swells due to the short base.

Gasoline consumption (Lew 95th) in the city of 13.5-14.5 liters on the computer and in Baku, despite the fact that I love to grab from the traffic light. On the highway on average 120-130 km / h and the flow rate of 10-11 liters. It seems - quite sane.

Now about the minuses ... Kleke nose when braking is quite tangible. Noisy work rear suspension, in small irregularities, the rack is blind, although they do not break. The dealer assures that this is a common trouble freelers. The poor waterproofing of the side glasses seals is very annoyed - after washing the glass is very long wet when lowering-raised. In winter, it resulted in constant morning signing of glasses.

Review of Land Rover Freilender 2.0 (240 hp) with automaton 2013.

Yes, the salon could be greater, but enough, yes, the seat is not an ideal profile, but in a long distance there has never been discomfort. Yes, the trunk is not very big, but I decided the problem of boxing to the roof. And the rest of the pros:

- Armrests are super, as before it did without them - I can not imagine;

- It goes monumental (2 tons of live steel - this is something), nor a rut, nor irregularities do not care - he smoothes them;

- Very strong windshield: so many contacts with different objects on the track and not a single chip and crack;

- LCP and housing: dropped luggage box when dismantling on the door - not a single track. And after an accident, when she caught up with an old Japanese, who had a bumper with a separation of fasteners - I only had a small paint on my bumper;

- Accepted speaker: overtaking is now not a problem with any number of passengers and baggage. Just pressed the pedal and that's it! I had to establish a speed limiter 150 km / h, because you do not have time to see how it is already 190 km / h dust;

- Commander Landing: Although I wrote a lot about her, but it is really very comfortable.

From the shortcomings, I will note only fuel consumption, but this is the back of the power: you want to quickly go - pay. I have less than 14 liters per 100 km did not work.

The owner rides on the Land Rover Freelander 2.0 automaton 2013

Now the mileage is 30 thousand. I have a Diesel to 215 hp. I wanted to get rid of some thoughtfulness, which after Tiguana was obvious. It became much more fun. The car does not make much to regret this choice, but this does not mean that there are no problems at all.

Periodically (somewhere a month) the car does not immediately "sees" the key in his pocket. A couple of times in winter arbitrary during the movement opened the castle of the trunk. Stayed, closed. Well, the problem of leakage of the rear stop signal is known for all Owners: when the water drops are drip after washing in the trunk. But it is easily treated. Consumption in the city reaches 12 liters, outside the city of 8 liters.

Of the obvious (for me), the pluses of the machine:

1. Landing. It is something different. Really like. Far road is lighter.

2. Feeling security. Being essentially the same crossover as Tiguan, there is a much more pronounced sense of security in the car. The counter stream is not so terrible as before!

3. Winter options in the database. Webasto, heated windshieldheated steering wheel. How it pleases in winter. The car is clearly adapted to Russian realities, taking into account the same and drive on all the wheels and large clearance.

4. 480 nm of torque. Just nice numbers. Especially when they are at your disposal.
