Getting tough with safety. The immensely strong monocoque body and inner safety cell, protected by meticulously engineered front and rear crumple zones, absorb energy on impact. While ultra-high-strength steel is used in the construction of the body, dual-phase steel, which requires special pressing because of its resilience, is found in key components such as the front windscreen pillars and lower side sills. The result is a first class, weight-efficient safety cell.

Freelander 2 is packed with number of advanced stability control systems, all fitted as standard – Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Electronic Traction Control (ETC), Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Roll Stability Control (RSC).

Seven airbags, fitted as standard on all vehicles, play a key role in helping to protect all occupants.

• Driver and front passenger airbags for head and chest protection
• Driver and front passenger side airbags for side impact protection
• Full-length curtain airbags provide head impact and rollover ejection protection for all occupants
  
• Driver’s inflatable knee airbag for additional lower body protection
