Produced for over two decades years, the Land Rover Freelander has undergone a great number of minor revisions and upgrades on its classic parts and accessories throughout its production. Take its powertrain and engine parts and accessories for example. When the model was first launched, it was powered by a 1.8-liter I4, a 2.0-liter I4, or a 2.5-liter V6. The engine parts were either mated to a five-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual one. Manual ones were dominant in the early days, but automatic Tiptronic transmission became more and more popular later. After further development, an upgraded version of the Land Rover Freelander was introduced in 2004. The engine choices back then included a 2.0L I4 and a 2.5L Rover V6 engine producing 175 hp.
Besides the powertrain parts and accessories, it's noteworthy that Land Rover Freelander was the first Land Rover to have a Hill Descent Control system. And the anti-lock braking system and traction control system helped a lot in off-road driving. So it has received much acclaim from drivers and retailers for its excellent riding performance and reliable safety system. For those who own such an SUV, if any parts or accessories do not work properly, you may replace them with new aftermarket ones at an early date to avoid future problems.
