- See the way different Land Rover models cope with a set course. Make your choice to which is the best.
Axle twister course demo even ground different vehicles. One winner. ( well a few but the ones that failed either don't know how to use their traction control or they don't have it!! There some very nice Land Rovers on this video..The driving skills is really what gets a vehicle through and the driver should be aware of its capabilities.. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Freelander 2 does fine off-road. Took my D4 to the LR off-road day here in Melbourne and they were using Freeo as the demonstration vehicle. It did everything bar rock-crawl.
The crap driver didn’t help
this a great video comparison of the different traction and suspension systems. Some lockers on a defender and it would be a real weapon
Viva el Discovery3, impresionante vehículo
I was impressed with the articulation of the independent suspension in the LR4, but you can really see how a solid axle setup is best for off roading.
Technically a Discovery 3/4 is not independent suspension because once you reach a certain angle the cross link valves open and you essentially have a solid axle like setup, without the clearance issues of 3 to 4 inches of diff hang you get on a solid axle setup.
But solid axles reduce ground clearance. And one without traction control is useless if wheels on each axle lose grip.
why did you edit out the freelander 1?
Yes. I’m happy someone else noticed 😢
Disco1 rulezzz!😀
Whats the name of the event please
PS: LOVELY Defenders
I would love to be able to go to something like this one day.
instablaster...

With the new technology L/R has to loose traction before it gains traction but with the manual diff locks you never have to loose traction......So stuff new technology......no wonder some of us prefers the old ways
As a DII owner I quite agree, I retro fitted the CDL. On wet greasy grass we found our old RRC worked better than the DII. Using TC means more power than often is need to get the system to work, there for less control and or increased trail damage. However if you combine traction control with centre diff lock that's a different story....
Those Defenders need some diff lockers
So don't the newer model defenders have traction control? The TC on my disco 3 seems to work very well. Unlike the freelander my wife also owned nothing worked; viscous coupling, IRD unit, ABS, hill descent, sunroof, elec rear window, cylinder head gasket, steering pump all failed in the same year. Then it cracked the cylinder head! She traded it in for a subaru forester. Better performance, loads more mpg, more spacious in the back & better in the fields. I've actually used the forester to pull my disco out of snow! (I still prefer my disco though:)
Badly kept and treated before you got it then. .
Thats why we didnt get stuck in our freelander and had to tow a niva out of the bit where we had just been through
First freelander I've seen that actually still has its prop shaft on
The freelander 2 driver needs to learn how to use his vehicle 😂
All about traction control
Should have put water in those ruts!
Surprised the series 3 did it so effortlessly, though that may be down to the driver.
Definitely down to the driving skills.
Yeh because he drove round the twister xD
I'd put a Series 3 up against any of your computerised vehicles any day of the week

In the States the roads are so bad in the winter you do not need to take your 4x4 to a course!
I didn't see any stuck Freelanders- they all got through unaided... unlike some of the Defenders...
Meanwhile:
search CZcams for- Land Rovers In Action. Friendly Freelander Comparison.
j'aime le freelander
They are such good cars. Always a pleasure to drive than my shite company car Landcruiser
good to know.
No one has proper tires in these videos. Kudos to those who did not get stuck.
I agree...tires are the difference in these videos. I just installed a beautiful set of Yokohama Geolandar GO15 all-terrain on my 13' LR2. While I don't do this kind of weekend activity, these tires provide the right amount of everything for everyday use AND the occasional Safari trip lol
All Defenders have Hi/Lo diff lock, Morten
they dont have axle diff locks though, so they get stuck in cross axle situations
👍🏻
All that red clay makes it look like you’re in the American south ... Georgia maybe 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Peterborough, United Kingdom.
This old sunspension sucks, right? new independent one is a lot better..
no comparison. the defender takes it every time. yeah the standard ones got stuck in places but for 40+k i would build a better offroader than a disco4.
hell, for 18k i HAVE a better off roader than a disco 4
Yeah but drive much worse in the road

"no comparison. the defender takes it every time"
Except at 6:03, when it gets stuck.
Land Rover SUV has a better traction
when freelander arrives *music stops* its silent and the thing gets stuck, this is why they shouldn't have done crossover

It was stuck it had a shit scared driver who had no idea how to drive it, now sod off you tosser.
