In a broad sense, the styling of the Freelander is similar to that of other small sport-utilities: aerodynamic headlamps and creases on the sides that say small utility wagon. Coming head-on, though, the Freelander looks tougher than the CR-Vs, RAV4s, and Foresters of the world. The prominent front skid plate says it's ready to go off road. It's not just for show, and it's backed up with additional underbody protection to reduce the chance of damage off road.Black trim helps distinguish the Freelander, though the front bumper juts out a bit farther than aesthetics dictate. From the rear, the Freelander is distinguished by round lenses in its tail lamps that give it a British/European it's-from-over-there look. Overall it's an attractive design.
