Land Rover will introduce a commercial derivative of the Freelander 2 line-up, citing significant customer demand as the reason behind the decision.
The new range will be showcased for the first time at the Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC, Birmingham from April 15th.
The Freelander 2 Commercial will be available in S and XS versions. The specification will be as a standard model, but with the addition of a full-height solid bulkhead with mesh panel, floor support frame, floor panel with lashing points, fixed rear side glass, rubber loadspace mat, tail door & side window guards and rear cargo lighting.
The XS derivative also includes Land Rover's Terrain Response system, 17 inch allos, powerfold mirrors, a full size spare wheel, front park distance control, part leather trim and automatic climate control.
"Since the launch of the Freelander 2 in November 2006, there has been high demand for a commercial derivative from our customers and dealers," commented John Edwards, managing director for Land Rover UK.
"The Commercial offers supreme loadspace capability together with levels of ride, handling, comfort and equipment which will further re-define the compact 4x4 commercial segment."
The Freelander 2 Commercial will be priced from £20,775 on release. As a commercial vehicle, it will benefit from VAT and Company Car Tax exempt status.
