Land Rover Freelander (1997 - 2006 )

Roomy, comfortable cabin with child-friendly views from the back seat. Plenty for sale out there. Good off-road ability.

Not as sharp to drive as a CR-V, RAV4 or X-Trail. Niggling reliability problems. 1.8 petrol engine leaks coolant and expires. Fared badly in JD Power Customer Satisfaction Surveys.

Also Consider

Nissan X-Trail 2001
Excellent, honest vehicle, decent to drive on road and best in class off road. Better than original Freelander.
Honda CR-V 2002
Low-down pull from refined engines. Walk-through cabin on CVT auto models. Large boot can be increased by sliding the rear seats forward.
Toyota RAV4 2000
More versatile, classier and even more car-like to drive than the previous model. Much improved from 2004 onwards.
Land Rover Freelander 2 2006
Huge improvement on original Freelander, excellent 2.2-litre belt cam diesel, incredibly good off-road, robust interior, more efficient 2WD model introduced in 2011.
