The Land Rover Freelander are a concise recreation utility car (SUV) that has been generated by the British maker land-rover, both in two-wheel and four-wheel drive variations, from 1997 to 2014. The second generation, established in 2007, had been offered as LR2 in united states so when the Freelander 2 in Europe.
They utilizes a monocoque (unibody) construction, in keeping with virtually all more crossovers with its class, but unlike conventional SUVs built with body-on-frame styles. The Freelander was replaced by the advancement athletics in 2015.
Market research by the Rover Group inside belated 1980s suggested that land-rover could enter the lightweight SUV marketplace part. In the early 1990s, the Rover team had a restricted items developing spending plan and looked-for a partner to produce the task, that was codenamed CB40 (after Canley Building 40, in which the concept was created). Rover's then-partner Honda declined and thought we would develop unique CR-V model which was established in 1997.
Rover decided to go it alone with all the CB40, utilizing present section and equipment, since it had completed with the MGF roadster. Whenever BMW took over Rover team in 1994, the CB40 project received the main city they needed to proceed. In December 2007, Autocar stated that very early developing design and sketches of Freelander showcased Hyundai badging, suggesting that a tie up between both providers was being suggested. The style regarding the Freelander was by Gerry McGovern, which went on end up being the mind of build at Land Rover in 2007.
Land-rover initially designed to subcontract the make associated with the Freelander to Valmet in Finland, but BMW ended this agreement upon obtaining the Rover Group, and rather funded manufacturing services at Solihull, eventually making use of the old Rover SD1 set up hallway which was in fact mothballed during the early 1980s, whenever Rover vehicle production ended up being moved to Cowley.
The Freelander premiered in October 1997. They became European countries's best-selling four-wheel drive design until 2002. The past Freelanders in North America were marketed as 2005 products.
There have been a number of products, founded around five-door estate and three-door softback (semi-convertible), hardback, and commercial (van-like) models. In 2004, Land Rover launched a better and upgraded type of the level We; modifications included a brand new indoor and biggest outside revisions, including a fresh face and rear.
The three-door design ended up being obtainable in age, S, SE, Sport and Sport advanced trim and also the five-door model in obtainable in age, S, SE, HSE, recreation and recreation Premium trim.
Machines
Engine alternatives feature:
1.8 litre I4 Rover K-Series petrol (1997--2006), badged as '1.8i', 'Xi' or 'XEi' (perhaps not marketed in united states)
2.0 litre I4 Rover L-series diesel (1997--2000), badged as 'Di', 'XDi' or 'XEDi'
2.0 litre I4 BMW M47 diesel (2001--2006), badged as 'Td4'
2.5 litre V6 Rover KV6 system petrol (2001--2006), badged as 'V6'
Handbook gearboxes dominated early versions, but automatic Tiptronic-style gearboxes (Jatco JF506E) became increasingly popular and had been standard on V6. The automated Tiptronic gearbox has also been readily available as a choice on the Td4.
Marketing
The initial generation Freelander was found in the 1998 Camel Trophy and participated in Land Rover's G4 Challenge. The vehicle represented a compromise since it did not have a low-range gear choice, nor a locking differential, as available on larger land-rover designs. This required that compared to more Land Rovers, off road efficiency had not been nearly as good. When compared to similar designs made by various other makers in the same duration like the Honda CRV or perhaps the Toyota RAV4, however, initial generation Freelander had been much more competent off-road.
It have above sixteen complex qualities, such as the IRD or Intermediate Reduction Drive, which acted as a front side differential and fixed ratio transfer; the VCU or viscous-coupling, which responds towards the differing rotational rate of prop shafts, allowing varying torque across itself; plus the mountain lineage controls system, that has been after that applied within the other countries in the land-rover number as well as in the 1st generation BMW X5. (BMW ended up being the mother or father organization of Rover Group at the time of the introduction of this model).
This first generation furthermore used a grip Control program and a particular version of ABS created by Wabco and altered to assist travel in off-road circumstances. Not enough the MG Rover K18 and KV6 engines after the end associated with MG Rover production led land-rover to discontinue the design on 31 August 2005 in the U.S. and Canada.
1800
System rules: 18K4F, 18K4K (VVC alternatives)
All 1800 motors displace 1.8 L (1,796 cc/109 cu in). Six variants are created:
DOHC K16 16-valve, MPI, 117 hp @5500rpm /160Nm@4000rpm
DOHC K16 16-valve, MPI, 136 hp (100 kW)@6750rpm/ 165Nm@3000rpm
DOHC K16 16-valve, MPI, VVC, 143 hp@7000rpm (107 kW) / 174Nm@4500rpm
DOHC K16 16-valve, MPI, VVC, 158 hp@7000rpm(118 kW) / 174Nm@4700rpm
DOHC K16 16-valve, MPI, turbocharged, 150 to 160 hp (110 to 118 kW)
DOHC K16 VHPD - Very High overall performance Derivative 16-valve, MPI, 177 hp (130 kW) or 192 hp (142 kW) (Lotus version) (Uses VVC special cylinder head casting (similar to VVC casting), features big valves, however with set cam timing - No development feedback had been required from Rover)
The KV6 automotive petrol motor has actually a 24-valve quad-cam V6 configuration, and a pressurising variable-length intake manifold to include hot spots through the rev range. Variations exist in 2.0-litre and 2.5-litre capabilities. They certainly were built initially by Rover team, after that by Powertrain Ltd (a sister team to MG Rover). KIA produced KV6 in Korea under license. Manufacturing relocated through the British to Asia in 2005, re-designated NV6.
Initially launched in to the Rover 800 show with the 1996 facelift, such as the flagship Rover Sterling Saloon and Coupe systems, it's since also powered the Rover 75 and its sibling vehicle, the MG ZT, along with the Rover 45 in addition to MG ZS.
The motor is created and manufactured by Rover at Longbridge to displace the Honda 2.7l V6 engine that has been about to become non-compliant with tightening emissions legislation. The first device is made for low volume manufacturing but was later redesigned to suit to the modest Rover 75's bonnet, although efficiency remained similar.
In 1994 the system was accredited to Kia Motors which purchased a new plant on Asan Bay involved to construct the engine. This motor was utilized in a few Kia cars. Their introduction in Korea soon then followed its use by Rover inside Sterling.
At introduction, the engine enjoyed significant technological development in contrast to their competition, most notably being the lightest and shortest v6 with its course. It has totally instantly tensioned drive devices and adaptive Siemens EMS2000 engine control. The fuelling and ignition timing are constantly varied to fit force regarding the motor to enhance sophistication. The motor boasts Variable Geometry Induction, whereby environment induction pipeline lengths vary to optimize motor torque in response to various system and path speeds, aiding sophistication and performance. Although it holds title of K-series, the system has almost no equipment in accordance because of the 4-cylinder variation.
In its Rover setup, the unit delivers peak system power of 175 PS (129 kW) at 6,500 rpm, and maximum torque of 240 N*m (177 lb*ft) at 4000 rpm, prompting the late 1990s 'most effective with its lessons' purchases label always offer Rover 800 V6 models. The automated gearbox in V6 800s normally able to communicate with the engine, quickly reducing torque allowing smoother adjustment.
Perhaps one of the most straight away obvious top features of the very first V kind motor becoming created by Rover for a long time was its distinctive, quietly growling system note.
Cam Drive
The V6 motor is equipped with four expense camshafts driven by synchronous enamel devices. It's a single, longer, serpentine gear at the front operating the inlet webcams because coolant pump. The exhaust cams were driven by quick connect belts driven from the stops of this inlet cameras at the rear of the engine. The system was a joint developing between Dayco (gear provider) and Rover. A corner website link belts cannot include any tensioning product. Belt stress was preserved by cautious control of belt length in addition to pulley set are pre-tensioned during fitting. The front buckle drive is tensioned by a spring-loaded tensioner pulley integrating a hydraulic damping factor.
A unique feature of this program usually they integrate "floating" inlet cam drive pulleys that are not straight keyed on shafts. This means that special setting equipment are required to build the cam timing before the pulley fixings tend to be tightened up. This needs may be the results of the complexity for the cam drive train. As well as the size and width threshold of this devices, the precision associated with the cam time can be afflicted with the positional and diameter threshold of each and every pulley while the depth of each big engine casting. The end result is that the required amount of timing precision couldn't usually be preserved.
Understood Issues
Early hand-finished models had been afflicted with contradictory production tolerances (1996-1998). This caused the height of this cylinder liners to vary, which risked over-compression or under-compression for the head gaskets. The system was re-engineered while the production facility computerized just before establishing the Rover 75 (1998-2005), the motor needing to fit under the sloping Rover 75 bonnet. Those changes resolved mind gasket issues in addition to KV6 features an optimistic reputation for dependability. All of the dependability problems connect with "value designed" bolt on ancillaries, but the base engine can perform huge mileages before rebuild is required.
Some maintenance tasks were hampered by restricted accessibility, typical in FWD vehicles, particularly in the Rover 45/ MGZS with its small engine bay. Considerable dismantling of engine bay is needed so that you can access some elements such as for example cam belts, water pump and thermoregulator. Program maintenance is easy and certainly will become carried out because of the holder.
The 1998 redesign associated with the KV6 by Rover team under BMW included replacing the initial steel inlet-manifolds and butterfly valves, with plastic units stated in Germany. The redesign furthermore involved replacing the steel thermostat housing with a plastic unit. An expensive but unusual side-effect to making use of plastic components tend to be breakages when you look at the VIS (Variable Inlet program) butterfly valves which are mounted in the non-serviceable inlet manifold. The 2nd common fault are failure of the thermoregulator housing (often a failure over the mould range), that may induce progressive but hardly ever complete loss of coolant. A third common fault is oils contamination when you look at the VIS engines being installed on the sides of inlet manifold and controls air intake. Problems for the butterfly valves or VIS engines is restricted to causing a rattling noise within the manifold or small reduced power at particular system problems.
A Kia manufactured variant associated with the motor was also fitted to the Kia Carnival (staff mover) with difficulties on very early model machines. Lots of first generation (1999--2005) Kia Carnivals offered in Australian Continent needed a new engine--- some numerous engines. Typically KIA offered a reconditioned brief (without transmission) system cost-free with no concerns expected, providing the vehicle is under guarantee. For the people external warranty, Kia "covered outlay proportional as to the needs to have become the total expected lifetime of components" and recharged for labour and consumables.
The style for the earliest land-rover automobile was started in 1947 by Maurice Wilks, chief fashion designer within Rover Company, on his farm in Newborough, Anglesey, doing work in combination along with his bro Spencer who had been the Managing manager of Rover. The look was impacted by the Jeep as well as the prototype, later nicknamed center Steer, was built on a Jeep chassis and axles. Early choice of color had been determined by military excess products of plane seat paint, so very early cars only emerged in a variety of tones of light green; all designs until recently function durable box part ladder-frame chassis. Early motors such as the Series we had been field-tested at Long Bennington and designed to feel field-serviced.
Land-rover as an organization has actually been around since 1978. Prior to this, it had been something type of the Rover team that was consequently absorbed into the Rover-Triumph division for the British Leyland Motor company (BL) after Leyland engine company's takeover of Rover in 1967. The ongoing commercial popularity of the first land-rover series designs, and latterly the product range Rover within the 1970s amid BL's well-documented business difficulties caused the organization of another Land Rover providers but still under the BL umbrella, leftover the main subsequent Rover team in 1988, under the ownership of British Aerospace after the remains of Uk Leyland had been separated and privatised. In 1994 Rover team plc ended up being obtained by BMW. In 2000, Rover Group was separated by BMW and land-rover ended up being sold to Ford Motor business, becoming element of their Premier auto team. In 2006 Ford bought the Rover brand from BMW for about 6 million.
In 2008, Ford engine Company sold Jaguar and Land Rover to Tata Motors. Included in the bargain had been the rights to three various other British companies: Jaguar's very own Daimler marque, and two inactive companies Lanchester and Rover. BMW and Ford have formerly retained ownership associated with Rover brand to guard the stability regarding the land-rover brand, with which 'Rover' might-be puzzled in america 4x4 marketplace; the Rover brand had been initially used under licence by MG Rover until they collapsed in 2005, at which aim it absolutely was re-acquired because of the then Ford engine business possessed land-rover brief. This sale furthermore included the inactive Rover brand. Since August 2012, many Land Rovers in manufacturing were powered by Ford machines. Underneath the terms of the acquisition, Tata has the right to pick engines from Ford until 2019. Last year, Tata confirmed methods that it is spending 9 million to create an engine installation plant into the British western Midlands. But was only reported that plant will produce four-cylinder engines. The eight-cylinder machines found in Land Rovers were not discussed.
Land Rovers were produced mostly on Solihull plant, near Birmingham, but production of the Freelander was relocated to the Halewood Body & system plant near Liverpool, a former Ford vehicles plant. The Freelander normally put together in knock-down system (CKD) kind at land-rover's facility in Pune, Asia.
Defender versions is put together under licence in a number of places around the globe, including Spain (Santana Motors), Iran (Pazhan Morattab), Brazil (Karmann), and chicken (Otokar). The former BL/Rover Group technical centre at Gaydon in Warwickshire is among the JLR group's design centers, together with former Jaguar Cars hq in Whitley happens to be the team hq and another team design premises.
In May 2010, Tata Motors established so it plans to establish Land Rover and Jaguar brands in Mainland China (PRC) since the business seeks to lower your expenses and increase purchases.
In late-2012, the automaker established a joint venture for Jaguars and Land Rovers become integrated Asia, now the world's biggest car-market. The arrangement has been Chery, Asia's 6th largest car manufacturer, and demands a fresh Chinese factory in Changshu to create motors starting in 2014. Test manufacturing at the facility started in April 2014, with a possible ability of 130,000 vehicles annually. Initial manufacturing design by the Chery Jaguar Land Rover venture is the Evoque, along with other brands planned that also feature improvements, such as for instance longer wheelbases, to meet Chinese markets requirements.
They utilizes a monocoque (unibody) construction, in keeping with virtually all more crossovers with its class, but unlike conventional SUVs built with body-on-frame styles. The Freelander was replaced by the advancement athletics in 2015.
