The Freelander was developed to take Land Rover into the compact Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) market in response to the success of 'lifestyle' 4x4s produced by rivals such as Suzuki, Toyota and Honda. An instant success, within little over a year of its launch the 'baby' Land Rover had become the best-selling 4x4 in Europe. This all-color book takes a look at the development and evolution of the Freelander model range, and covers buying, owning, running and caring for the vehicles. An invaluable guide for all Freelander owners and enthusiasts.
