LAND ROVER has extended its British-built 2013 Freelander 2 range with a new Black & White limited edition model – and prices from £22,495.

The specials combine extra equipment with increased personalisation, extra features and a tailored feel.

So LE versions take the existing S model’s spec and add the likes of a gloss black finish – shared with the Dynamic model - to the front grille, side vents and door handles, plus split-spoke 17-inch alloy wheels.

And true to its name, the exterior paint choices are Santorini Black metallic or solid Fuji White, with a metallic shade offered at no additional cost.

Privacy glass is also fitted as standard and the headlamp units include daytime running lights with a signature arrangement of LEDs.

The cabin displays the new console that debuted in the 2013 model and is finished with an Ebony black cloth upholstery. Bluetooth and a cover for the rear load space are also part of the Black & White LE package.

Features carried forward from the S model include push button start, electric windows, air-con, 60:40 folding rear seats, auxiliary power sockets, eight-speaker audio system with DAB digital radio, heated electrically adjustable door mirrors and seven airbags.

Beneath the bonnet is a 150PS 2.2-litre turbodiesel unit in eD4 form with two-wheel drive, or the TD4 with all-wheel drive.

The eD4, with stop and start technology, boasts official economy figures of an average 47.1mpg and 158g/km of emissions and comes with six-speed manual transmission, while the TD4 unit can be specified additionally with a six-speed auto gearbox.

Prices for the new Black & White LE start at £22,495 for the eD4 model, while the TD4 costs £23,495 for the manual and £24,995 for automatic.
