Whitley, Warwickshire, 13 December 2012.Land Rover has extended its sporty and stylish 2013 Freelander 2 range with a new Black & White limited edition model that combines extra equipment with increased personalisation. Taking on board the sharper looks of the 2013 Freelander introduced in the summer, the Black & White limited edition provides customers with extra feature content, and a tailored feel to the already popular SUV.
The Black & White LE takes the specification of the existing S model and adds further features to raise the levels of comfort, convenience and contemporary good looks. On the outside the front grille, side vents and door handles have a distinctive gloss black finish − shared with the Dynamic model − plus split‑spoke 17‑inch alloy wheels. True to its name, the exterior paint choices are Santorini Black metallic or solid Fuji White, with a metallic shade offered at no additional cost. Privacy glass is also fitted as standard and the headlamp units include daytime running lights with a signature arrangement of LEDs.
The cabin displays the new console that debuted in the 2013 model, and is finished with a smart Ebony black cloth upholstery. Bluetooth connectivity and a cover for the rear loadspace are also part of the Black & White LE package.
Features carried forward from the S model include push button start, electric windows front and rear, air conditioning, 60:40 folding rear seats, front rear auxiliary power sockets, eight‑speaker audio system with DAB digital radio, heated electrically adjustable door mirrors and a full complement of seven airbags.
There is a choice of two powertrains for the new Black & White LE: Land Rover's 150PS 2.2‑litre turbodiesel unit in eD4 form with two‑wheel drive, or the TD4 with all‑wheel drive. The eD4 has established its fine credentials for economy and low CO2 emissions, with stop and start technology helping it post official figures of 47.1mpg and 158g/km (combined cycle). The eD4 comes with six‑speed manual transmission, while the TD4 unit can be specified additionally with a six‑speed automatic gearbox.
Prices for the new Black & White LE start at £22,495 for the eD4 model. Prices for the Black & White TD4 are £23,495 for the manual and £24,995 for the automatic. Built at Land Rover's Halewood factory, the new models are on sale now.
