Super TestCar reviews - Land Rover - Freelander - XEi 5-dr wagonLand Rover modelsEngine14 Mar 2001 THE Freelander makes do with either an 88kW/165Nm 1.8-litre petrol engine also found in the MGF roadster, or a 72kW/210Nm 2.0-litre turbo-diesel. The 1796cc petrol engine driven here is a 16-valve, twin cam unit tuned to run on standard unleaded fuel, unlike the MGF. Independent testing shows just how much the 1.8 struggles under the 1.5 tonne kerb weight, barely breaking 12 seconds for the 0-100km/h dash. Did you know?The 1.8 has a "returnless" petrol injection supply system which regulates the supply pressure at the in-tank fuel pump and makes a return circuit to the tank unnecessaryAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
