2006 Land Rover Freelander

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2006 Freelander.

The 2006 Land Rover Freelander arrives after a period in which the model’s complaint record swung from a single issue in 2000 to a peak of 226 complaints in 2002, illustrating the volatility of its early reliability profile. This context places the 2006 version within a lineage that has already demonstrated both extreme difficulty and near‑perfect performance, suggesting that its market entry inherits the mixed legacy of the preceding years. The vehicle is presented here as a reference point for researchers examining the evolution of Land Rover’s model line.
