Petrol Freelander 2. Which model is best?

[mersontheperson]

Hi everyone

What do you think of the Freelander 2, especially in its Petrol ULEZ compliant guise? And has anyone driven the 2.0 turbo Ford engined variant that they sold in other markets?
I live in the Cotswolds and London and thought this would be a great all round car.
Any insights would be much appreciated

I think the 2.5 v6 is meant to be reliable but thirsty with a road tax bracket to match.

We had 3 diesel FL2s when they were new and loved them. Great all rounder and we had zero problems. I'd still have one now if it wasnt for the ulez nonsense. I browsed the petrol V6 version on Autotrader recently, but the high tax bracket and terrible fuel consumption ruins the appeal for me.

I'd go for the RAV4 variant.

For the freelander 2.

You have the 3.2 Volvo engine. Which is 07-11 or so and rather uncommon now. There’s 9 on Autotrader.

I would go as new as possible.

The later 2.0 I ve no experience or heard anything about it really.
Don’t think it s a uk standard model. So could be a jap import or such.

I it doesn’t need to be ulez then the 2.2 is the one to go for and very reliable
