LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 1.8 ES-X
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The LAND ROVER FREELANDER (1997-06) 5DR SUV 1.8 ES-X is a five-door compact SUV: taller and more rugged-looking than a family hatchback, but easier to live with than a large 4x4. It brought Land Rover style to the UK market for everyday off-roaders.
With five doors and a raised driving position, it suits couples or small families wanting a runabout for town, country roads and occasional rough tracks. Its distinctive look and go-anywhere image set it apart from rivals such as the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, while the 1.8 petrol engine keeps the appeal straightforward.
