In the period October to December 2009, Land Rover UK sales were up 93% year on year.
Sales have been improving consistently in the UK for the last four months as some stability returns to the market place, and the launch of the new 2010 model range has ensured the latest, most efficient, and technologically advanced line-up Land Rover has ever had.

Land Rover has over 60 years of experience developing supremely capable vehicles that boast four-wheel-drive and pioneering technology such as Electronic Traction Control, Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Terrain Response – which includes a snow setting utilising the vehicles’ traction aids. These all help ensure that Land Rover owners have total peace of mind when travelling in wet and icy conditions.
John Edwards, Land Rover UK managing director comments: ‘When conditions become treacherous, there is one manufacturer that the emergency services turn to – Land Rover. For many years, we have provided local police, ambulance services and recovery agencies with the loan of our vehicles to aid their work when faced with poor driving conditions. In fact, the AA’s specialist Land Rover fleet have been on standby in the South East to help out in the snow overnight.’
The Freelander 2 ‘White & Black’ Special Editions are new entry-level additions to the Freelander 2 range for the 2010 model year, and will be on sale in January 2010, priced from £19,495 on-the-road.
The Special Editions are available in Alaska White and Santorini Black and both come with the Ebony cloth interior. They represent a lower entry price with a more generous specification and complement the new Freelander 2 Sport, also on sale at the start of next year.
