The 2011 Land Rover Freelander 2 facelift has been spied recently and today the first images of the new version have surfaced. The 2011 Land Rover Freelander 2 facelift is heavily camouflaged, but it's clear the new version will have a redesigned front end. The front bumper, grille and headlights of the 2011 Land Rover Freelander 2 facelift seem to be re-styled. The new version might also get LED daytime running lights.
What's intriguing is that the wheels of the prototype that got spotted are covered with duct tape. This could mean the new model will get fresh rims, or they were just experimenting with low air resistance wheels.
Land Rover's new turbo diesel engine is available in the 4WD TD4 150PS model featuring a manual transmission and intelligent Stop/Start technology as standard (an automatic gearbox without Stop/Start is available as a cost option), or the new SD4 model delivering 190PS (available in automatic transmission only).
This new engine is quieter, more efficient and both derivatives have 20Nm more torque than the outgoing engine. This means the 2011 Freelander 2 offers improved engine response and more mid-range strength for towing. CO2 emissions have been significantly reduced to 165g/km and 185g/km respectively with corresponding fuel economy benefits.
However, despite reductions in consumption and emissions, there has been no compromise in performance. The flagship 190PS Land Rover Freelander SD4 accelerates from rest to 60mph in 8.7 seconds with an increased top speed of 118mph. The Land Rover Freelander 150PS TD4 manual and automatic versions match the performance of their predecessors.
