2002-2005 Land Rover Freelander: Year-to-Year Changes

2003 Land Rover Freelander: Addition of a two-door "open-air" wagon headlined changes to Land Rover's entry-level SUV for 2003. Named the SE3, for its two side doors plus a rear hatch, the new model was the same size as Freelander's four-door wagon. Unlike the four-door, it had two removable roof panels over the front seats, and a removable hardtop over the rear seats and cargo area. All Freelanders had a class-exclusive power up/down rear window in a swing-out cargo door. The SE3 came in a single trim level that included 17-inch wheels and an uplevel audio system with steering-wheel-mounted controls. Vinyl-and-fabric upholstery was standard; leather optional. Newly standard on all Freelanders for 2003 were bodyside moldings and LATCH child-seat anchors. This year's fuel tank held 16.9 gallons rather than 15.6.

2004 Land Rover Freelander: New front styling and a revised interior marked the 2004 models. Instruments, controls, door panels, and seats were modified. The S wagon was dropped, leaving only SE and HSE models, both with leather upholstery. New standard equipment included roof rails, tinted windows, and an in-dash CD changer. Land Rover also offered the SE3 semi-convertible. All models now had 17-inch wheels.

2005 Land Rover Freelander: No changes and an abbreviated lineup marks 2005 for Land Rover's Freelander.
