For The Freelander has a smooth ride, impressive refinement and is highly competent off-road. Land Rover's desirable image keeps resale values high, too.
Against Prices are a little steep, rivals provide more rear legroom and boot space, and the dashboard is cluttered.
What Car? says
The Freelander might not be cheap, but it's well worth the cash. Great to drive and hugely desirable.

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
The first choice for any Freelander buyer to make is an easy one – it has to have a diesel engine. But, the versions with a manual gearbox have a stop-start system to keep emissions down and improve economy.
There’s then a wide choice of specifications to choose from, going through S, GS, XS, SE, HSE all the way to HST. Even the entry-level S version is reasonably equipped, although the GS is the model we’d go for. It comes with climate control and Land Rover’s Terrain Response system to make the most of the Freelander’s off-road abilities.
Top-spec versions like HSE come with luxury-car levels of kit but with price tags to match. Land Rover doesn’t have the strongest reputation for reliability but it is improving. It needs to. The old-shape Freelander was 98th out of 100 in the 2008 JD Power Customer Satisfaction Survey.
