Land Rover dealerships across the UK will open their doors this weekend (April 28-29) to showcase the latest addition to the Freelander 2 range – the 2.2-litre diesel automatic.

Customers interested in purchasing a Freelander 2 will have the opportunity to test the latest model, which features the same six-speed automatic transmission as the 3.2-litre i6 petrol Freelander 2, complete with Land Rover’s CommandShift for manual gear changing.

Customers will also be able to enter a prize draw for a chance to win a 10-day trip for two to Australia or one of 200 half-day off-road driving sessions at a UK Land Rover Experience Centre.

“Since the launch of the Freelander 2 petrol and diesel manual models at the end of last year, demand has been really encouraging. The launch of the new diesel automatic now completes the range and offers our customers more choice,” said Andy Griffiths, Land Rover UK marketing director.

Prices for the Freelander 2 TD4 automatic start from £22,330 on-the-road.
