Land Rover Freelander 2
|
The all-new Freelander 2 goes on sale in the UK next week, and is now available with a range of accessories.
Land Rover has introduced an Audio Connectivity Module for music lovers, to integrate an iPod Nano, iPod 30 +60GB and iPod Photo (version 4), using the steering wheel controls for track selection and volume, with a neat cradle for the iPod positioned to the left of the dashboard controls. The auxiliary connection, fitted as standard, also allows analogue input from other personal music player devices.
You can also add a rear screen entertainment system with wireless headsets. Comprising a pair of 5.6-inch LCD screens in the rear headrests, it will allow most portable audio video devices to be connected, including portable DVD players and iPods.
Also announced this week, the following insurance groups have been announced, which show the Freelander 2 to be competitive against its key rivals such as the BMW X3:
