2000-0 |
|---|---|
| Types: |
Utility,4 doors,5 seats |
The Freelander, wholly designed by the Rover Group after early talks of a co-operation with BMW resulted in disinterest from the German side. Despite this, BMW secretly proceeded with their BMW X3, inspired by the Freelander prototype. It came off the production line in late 1997. It rapidly became the best selling compact 4x4 in Europe, outselling the BMW X3, as well as many other small "off-roaders".
There are a variety of models, based around 5-door station wagon and 3-door softback, hardback, and commercial versions.
