The baby Land Rover continues to rack up big numbers as LR sells its 250,000th unit
Land Rover employees
at the Company's Halewood manufacturing plant in Merseyside are today
celebrating an important milestone achievement − the production of the
250,000th Freelander 2. Production of the Freelander 2 began in 2007 and
the plant's 250,000th Freelander 2 was recently driven off the line.
The 250,000th vehicle is a 2.2 litre TD4 Diesel GS in Fuji White and is
destined for a customer who lives in Scotland.
Halewood operations director Richard Else, commented: "This milestone achievement and the increasing sales for Freelander 2 highlights just how important this vehicle is, not just to Halewood but also for the regional and UK economy − around 70% of Freelanders produced at Halewood are exported overseas. I'd like to thank our flexible and highly skilled workforce and congratulate the Halewood team on this superb achievement."
The 2011 Freelander 2 is available with either 2WD or 4WD and a refined 2.2 litre diesel engine offering two power outputs – the 190hp SD4 and the 150hp TD4. With class-leading on and off-road performance, featuring Terrain Response, a premium cabin, improved fuel economy and a pretty decent price tag as well.
