Super TestCar reviews - Land Rover - Freelander - ES V6 3-dr wagonLand Rover modelsSafety31 Aug 2001 WHILE chassis and braking improvements highlight the active safety updates on the Freelander V6, a major passive safety program was also undertaken. The larger, heavier engine meant the front-end structure needed extensive revision to perform better in a crash. Great use of high-strength steel was used, while the standard driver and front passenger airbags have increased in capacity. Traction control and anti-lock brakes with EBD are standard. All seats have a head restraint and lap-sash belt, however the three-door does not allow height adjustment of any seatbelts, front or rear. An integral rollover cage is fitted standard in the three-door to help make up for the loss of strength inflicted by the open rear section.
