2003 Land Rover Freelander
The 2003 Land Rover Freelander is the smallest SUV in the Land Rover
stable. A compact SUV in the same class as the Mazda Tribute and the Honda
CRV, the 2003 Land Rover Freelander has a lot to offer in that it may
be a more viable option for those who have admired the larger Land Rovers
but didn't need the large-size vehicle in their mostly urban lives.
2003 sees the arrival of the smallest Land Rover yet, the 2-door Freelander
SE3, named for its two doors and hatch. This open-air wagon can have panels
removed from above the front seats and beside the back seats for a convertible,
open top experience.
Available Models
The 2003 Land Rover Freelander comes in rising trim-levels from the S,
through the SE and top-level HSE grade. The SE3 2-door has its own specific
trim level, which includes a sport and adventure oriented selection of
interior amenity.
Interior Features
The 2003 Land Rover Freelander S has good standard features including
cruise control, air conditioning, driver seat with lumbar adjustment,
as well as an assortment of other copmfort features. However, this being
a Land Rover, there are a number of utility-oriented details as well.
For example, a heated windshield, heated power mirrors, a split folding
rear seat and a tachometer are all in place as standard equipment.
The SE adds leather upholstery amongst other items while the top-level
HSE grade has all that plus sophisticated electronics; specifically, Harmon
Kardon audio and DVD navigation. The SE3 lies somewhere in between without
the leather or the navigation but with the Harmon Kardon audio.
Exterior Features
Naturally, as a Land Rover, the Freelander has some classic exterior styling.
Resonant of the iconic Range Rover, yet setting its own path, the Freelander
has attractive, rugged lines with large headlights and six-spoke alloy
wheels. The Freelander SE3 has standard 17-inch, three-spoke alloy wheels
fitted with 225/55R17 while a front A-frame brush bar adds to for and
function. Roof rails and side body moldings enhance the durable utility
of this sporty adventure vehicle.
Performance
The 2003 Land Rover Freelander has a 2.5-liter dohc V6 engine with permanent
all-wheel drive and Land Rovers innovative CommandShift five-speed automatic
transmission. Capable of 17/21 mpg despite punching out 174 hp at 6250
rpm and 177lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm, the Freelander has a clean and
efficient clean burning engine.
Four-wheel electronic traction control 4ECT technology is just a small
part of the handling innovation that also includes Hill-Descent Control
(HDC) and all-terrain ABS.

in full measure on all versions of the Freelander. In addition to the
active safety technology mentioned above, the Freelander also has state
