LAND Rover has turned its Freelander into a commercial vehicle which will make its debut later this month.
Looking just as stylish and classy as the conventional car, the new Freelander Commercial differs visually only by virtue of its darkened rear windows.
In order to qualify for the VAT and Company Car Tax exemptions, the rear half of the vehicle is transformed into a work space with the seats removed.
It will be available in S and XS versions, with the specification being the same as that of a standard Freelander 2 at the respective trim levels.
The vehicle is fitted with a full-height solid bulkhead with mesh panel, floor support frame, floor panel with lashing points, fixed rear side glass, rubber loadspace mat, tail door and side window guards and rear cargo lighting.
The XS model gets Terrain Response, 17-inch alloy wheels, powerfold mirrors, a proper spare wheel, front park distance control, part leather trim and automatic climate control plus a sophisticated sound system.
It goes on sale this month after being shown at the Commercial Vehicle Show at Birmingham's NEC from April 15 to 17 and will cost from £20,775 for the 2.2 TD4 S rising to £35,520 for the 3.2-litre HST version.
