Detroit News (2004)
The Freelander's surprisingly tiny 2.5-liter V-6 engine makes only 174 horsepower, and even a mild recalibration of the five-speed automatic transmission doesn't make much difference in the vehicle's sluggish acceleration times.

Edmunds (2003)
Expect the U.S. model to incorporate additional Western ideas like usable cupholders and easy-to-decipher interior controls.

Autonet Direct (2002)
A major innovation - and a unique feature in the popular SUV and 4WD market - is Freelander's electronic Hill Descent Control (HDC), which is a true bonus for serious off-road travel This astute technology guides a controlled descent for steep downhill or traction-compromised grades.

Cars.com (2002)
The Freelander is the first Land Rover product with a unibody design and fully independent suspension.

Detroit News (2002)
Baby Land Rover is still no jewel.

Edmunds (2002)
Hill Descent Control (HDC) helps replace the low-speed gears absent from the littlest Land Rover by limiting the Freelander's speed when descending steep hills.

New Car Test Drive (2002)
With a 101-inch wheelbase and a curb weight of 3,444 pounds, Freelander's exterior dimensions closely match those of the Ford Escape.

Motor Trend (2002)
At 175 in. long atop a 101-in. wheelbase, the Freelander covers virtually the same footprint as the Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute. It's the first Land Rover model to employ a robust unibody instead of the traditional trucklike ladder frame.

New York Times (2002)
Offroad strength and rigidity are said to be comparable to traditional Land Rover models, helped by box-section rails and eight integral cross-members under the body.

SUV.com (2002)
A cute and capable small sport-utility vehicle with all-wheel drive.

The Car Connection (2002)
There were some typically British touches we’d like to see changed, such as the power window switches. Mounted by the center armrest, they were hard to find without taking your eyes off the road.

Vancouver Sun (2002)
A typically luxurious Land Rover then, even if it is missing power seats and side airbags.
