The new 2011 Land Rover Freelander 2 now carries the SD4 suffix, which is one up over the TD4 version. The engine remains 2.2 litres in capacity but power is now up by 30 PS and 20Nm, which means peak output is now 190 PS and 420Nm. This engine is mated to a 6-speed automatic. The Freelander 2 features a system called “Terrain Response” which changes the behavior of the throttle, gearbox, and 4WD system to suit different terrains.
