The new Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4_e is Land Rover's best fuel-efficient agent to date. Featuring a new able Stop/Start system, it is the aboriginal assembly agent to absorb technologies from the company's programme of acceptable engineering initiatives, collectively called 'e_TERRAIN TECHNOLOGIES'.
On the accepted EU4 cycle, the CO2 emissions of the Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4_e are bargain by 8 per cent, compared with the approachable chiral agent Land Rover Freelander 2. Moreover, in added tests, Land Rover engineers accept abstinent ammunition accumulation abutting 20 per cent in abundant burghal traffic.
The 8 per cent advance equates to a CO2 emissions abridgement of 15 g/km compared with the accepted Freelander 2 TD4 chiral (from 194 g/km to 179 g/km). In agreement of ammunition efficiency, burning is bargain from 7.5 l/100 km to 6.8 l/100 km, a extenuative of 0.7 litres of ammunition every 100 km (62 miles).
These gains, accompanying with the added allowances of the gearshift indicator light, software developments and efficiencies from low-rolling-resistance tyres, accomplish the Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4_e the best fuel-efficient assembly Land Rover anytime built.
Phil Popham, Land Rover's managing director, said: "The Stop/Start Freelander 2 is the aboriginal assembly agent to account from the massive £700 actor advance in acceptable technologies by Jaguar and Land Rover. From mid-2009, the Stop/Start affection will be included as accepted on all Land Rover Freelander 2 TD4 chiral models, with no associated access in account prices."
