Freelander Comprehensively Improved For 2004

The most obvious enhancements are to the styling. The front bumper, headlamps and front grille are brand new, and adopt the distinctive family face pioneered by the new Range Rover. The new, twin-pocket clear lens headlamps are similar to those of the Freelander’s big brother, the Range Rover, and provide a higher light intensity – improved by 70 per cent. The bumpers are restyled and are now body coloured.

At the rear, the bumpers and lights are new. The bumpers are body coloured, and tail lamps have been repositioned higher on the rear bumper, improving their visibility and reducing the likelihood of them being obscured by road grime or off-roading dust.

The cabin of the 2004 Freelander has been comprehensively restyled, to improve comfort and the feeling of luxury.

"We’ve paid particular attention to the interior," said Matthew Taylor. "It’s where our customers spend most of their time with the car and the area where we knew there was room for improvement. Premium car buyers expect premium cabins, and we are confident they will be impressed with the new Freelander’s interior."

There is a new facia, new instruments, new switchgear, new door trims and new seats that offer better body and under-thigh comfort, plus new upholstery fabrics.

The cabin doesn’t just look better. The feel of the materials has also been greatly improved.

There continue to be two body styles on offer: a three-door version, featuring a detachable hard-top or retractable soft-top, and a five-door.
