The exterior and interior design of Freelander 2 is completely fresh, integrating the company鈥檚 unique design language with a form that is instantly recognizable as the latest Land Rover. We purposely kept strong cues from the original Freelander, such as the clamshell bonnet, stepped roof and the basic form,鈥?says Land Rover design director Geoff Upex. But the overall look is new and much more contemporary. The design is chiselled, geometric and simple dash; it looks like it鈥檚 hewn from the solid. The body is a five-door monocoque structure, with a high level of torsional rigidity which benefits refinement, comfort and handling on-road as well as ensuring the vehicle is fit for serious off-roading. The suspension is fully independent and uses the most modern stability control systems, including Roll Stability Control (RSC), a new and sophisticated technology that helps mitigate the risk of roll-over. Freelander 2 is packed with new technologies to improve both on-road and off-road performance, many new to the class.

Nasser wanted the division to attract younger customers--Lincoln's typical customer was 63 years old, Mercury's was 56 years old--and to be closer to suppliers and to emerging auto trends.
