About the Land Rover Freelander 2 L359
The Freelander 2, designated L359, represented a significant leap in build quality and refinement over its predecessor, sharing its platform with the Volvo XC60. The TD4 variant features a 2.2-litre Duratorq diesel engine developed in collaboration with PSA, providing a balance of low-end torque and reasonable fuel economy. Unlike many contemporary rivals, it retained impressive off-road credentials thanks to Land Rover's Terrain Response system and short overhangs. It remains a popular used choice for its comfortable ride and practical, airy cabin, though it was never officially marketed in the United States with this diesel powertrain.
