2013 Land Rover Freelander It becomes a premium SUV
The 2013 Land Rover Freelander is very similar to its predecessors and has not wanted to lose the characteristic form which has given its name to this model until today. The most significant changes are found in the cabin, which has shown a special interest by Land Rover to create a luxurious interior with all kinds of elements for the comfort of the driver and passengers. Even so, on the outside have also been revised a few things that are more modern now.
Changes can easily see outside the vehicle are the head and tail lights now feature LED technology, and so far only found this small progress but the Land Rover has stated that are currently under development for some new finishes the front grille and a special trim.
Radical change in the passenger
Where to find more changes is actually inside the vehicle they will now have many more items, options and finishes that never before have we had a model Freelander. Furthermore, to determine the content of the interior, the firm has been inspired by the current Range Rover Evoque, so that we can get an idea of how much is the luxurious interior of the 2013 Freelander.
The center console has been completely redesigned and now features a touch screen 7 "with controls for most functions that are in the cockpit. This model now has integrated navigation system and a premium audio system complete to enjoy.
The new system does not require starting the vehicle, insert the key into the slot because basically no slot. We just better hope the magnetic key is inside the Freelander so that pressing the start button, the engine starts running. Standard equipment will be complete and exclusive but if you still want more we aspire to a high number of luxury accessories, including rear camera or voice recognition system to access any function verbally.
Land Rover is firmly committed to the "2013 Freelander" now become part of the most exclusive segment. As rival SUVs have overcome it, as it is designed for the road and roads against a Toyota RAV-4 has nothing to do. But what makes equipment is surpassed only by his elder brothers of Range Rover.
