LAND ROVER FREELANDER VS SUZUKI VITARA 4X4 BY CLEANMIX

[RaoulEmilian]

Nice video and nice car (landrover). Fuck all this bastards with the top comments.

[TheMonsteraki]

LANDROVERman you cant go for offroading in mud with that tyres.

[Loadfaster]

I couldnt even watch thisLady GAGA? sorry man.. thats a cardinal sin.... its mindless music for DRONE minded people...

this hurt to see.

[MrColina999]

This isn't off roading. I drive on tracks like this with my subaru forester on the way to the shop for some milk. This is more like broke back mountain off roading.

[brenber]

freeelander 98 rules

[aussiesgt91]

I thought this video was in slow motion at first... When I take my Vitara off road ( the manly not gay LWB hard top ) I fly around the place, this guy hasn't learnt the limitations of it yet, certainly a lot of room for improvement.

[haywardsdave]

My Freelander 1 is fab. Easy to maintain. Easy and cheap parts on e-bay.

[1996BulletProof]

considering the landy had road tyres and zuk had mud tyres you have to admit it did very well

[tubby61]

change your tyres and learn how to drive offroad properly

[nedster01]

v6 auto is the best, as freelander doesn't give you a low box.

[ricardoinacio]

@nedster01 v6 is a pain in the ass. Diesel engines are more reliable. Also petrol engines from Freelander 1 are too thirsty!

[karakyro]

[94Menda]

no sabeis lo que da miedoo

ya se nota que el freelander es una mierda lo mejor para estas cosas es el patrol

[sirtubemaster]

why do you people ruin off roading videos by selecting gas ass music? come on! the engine sounds are much more enjoyable then lady gaga

[pacayabu]

da miedo por esos lugares donde andaban esos vehiculos ay nanita...

[DarraghMcPrfc]

what u want is a suzuki samurai .....the front diff in dese vitara is made of aluminium the get punctured very easily...samurai is a awesome jeep also for competition the samurai wud be my choice an epic allround jeep and very straight forward and easy to fix

[gadgetguy4000]

land rovers dont have kia or bmw motors it jaguar if you were smart you would know that

[cl998]

@gadgetguy4000

Half-right. No idea where the "Kia engine" thing that other guy said came from, not heard that one before. Ones the age of the one in the vid used the orginal Rover K-series petrol, and the TD4 was actually an old Rover item as well. Now, the bigger petrol engines are Jaguar, smaller ones Ford, diesels are a part of a collaboration with Ford, Jaguar and Peugeot/Citroen.

[thiago497150]

vitara has low gear

[DCCosta999r]

Lady gaga??? Ok... youre using a Land rover Free Lander... girl car

[cleanmix]

@DCCosta999r lol.. il veut quoi le gay !

[digitalportugal]

These Land Rovers are very cheap in Portugal, are they that bad? I was planning to buy one for myself... Need opinions...

[panasen500]

@digitalportugal I have a freelander I, in petrol version, and the truth is that the freelanders with the petrol engine is not so good in 4x4 driving.. my opinion from MY trials.. :-) p.g. a lot of engine and clutch warm up, a lot of wheel spinning (cause is petrol engine and its more ''nervous'', and this is no much good in 4x4 driving) also low torque..) but....... the freelander with the Td4 engine (diesel), its much muuuuuuch better!! So if you planning to buy a freelander, go to the Td4!

[22huntersdad]

its alright, but u can make it to where the land rover does a lil more than that, it can handle ALOT more than that. so can the vitara

[dodzioful]

chłopaki opi***alacie sie !

freelander lepszy ;pp

[dodzioful]

chłopaki opierdalacie sie !

freelander lepszy ;pp

[tulscity]

What's with the music? More like Zoolander than Freelander

[Geraldtoo]

I'll take the Suzuki for offroading, and the Land Rover to town.

[popov2080]

I there on standard chevrolet niva went not steaming

[popov2080]

I there on standard chevrolet niva went not steaming

[churd243]

landrover........ 60 years of soft shit.

[discocreator76]

@churd243 soft shit?? shut up tool!

[zainuintel]

whats with the gay song, what kind of music for offroading... lol

[rodthehypno]

why the crap music?

[1966Gilbert]

u should better fix your brakelight.....can do this faster with my Range and still have street tires on

[Azureecosse]

This is not serious off roading neither cars of these could cope. Defender is a poor mans Range Rover, my 21 year old nephew bought a 2004 Td4 when he passed his test for £3200 it got stuck in 1.5 ft of snow the ground clearance is poor, the only redeeming factor is the Hill decent control but its not really needed in a car that cant go seriously off road.

[ColonnaJorge]

gayest song ever for offroading

[TheYorkie95]

that trail at the start reminds me of my farm road

[shikawow123]

second song please??! :)



[dorian122]

I have an 05 freelander. Ive had to repair the manual sifter but other then that hardly no issues. Mine is set up for looks but I took it out in snow hills while most Jeep owners stayed home. Its a good lil SUV. Not a hardcore off-roader. But it will handle alot for its size.

[Knightvitesse]

Lightweight bit off roading which does the Freelanders image no good. Far better videos of Freelander off roading than this one.

[4fingers100]

of all the artists y lady gaga? xD LOL 

[wjhalmshaw]

Both of those cars could do way more than this, the water part for an example was a bit of anti-climax to be honest.

[cervoza]

fuck music!!

[lollllolJeeplife]

Both of these "Cars" need to stay on the road....not that they were off roading anyways. Get a real 4x4. Buy a JEEP OllllllO Jeep just plain better than the rest!!!!

[WHEELIN08]

@lollllolJeeplife Jeep...what a joke! I have a Jeep which has done only 95,000km and it's spent more time with warranty related mechanical issues than being able to enjoy it as a 4x4. A damn Lemon.

[boganindustries]

Quick Mr Freelander owner GRAB YOUR CYLINDER LINERS BEFORE THEY FALL OUT!!!!!

[alanharper528]

Sorry guys, this is really bad "off roading" Ive got a Freelander and Suzuki and LR90. 90 eats them all. This is very much a muddy car park.

[chenzo717]

lol oh you guys...(slaps knee in laughter)

[gillatine83]

who offroads to this crap, embarassing

[wisyakman]

both suvs are cool, but i love the vitara costs about 30k less then the rover :)

[Knightvitesse]

@wisyakman

What are you talking about?!!! Freelander can be had from 1.5K for a decent one.

[Waylander7475]

my frelander is not diesel, it is a full-on super powerful and thirsty petrol engine, roars like lion, and whoever said landrover has a kia engine is complete wolly. most have honda or BMW engines, the unlucky ones have rover.

bit of decent off roading going on there, but a little advice, fit a snorkel and upgrade your tires and just GO FOR IT! there are times to be careful, like on a steep gradient, but you have HDC so no worries, and there are times just to be crazy and have some fun!!

[dannycr80]

i have reasantly bought two vitaras. i personaly think they are a great off-road jeep. we have road tyres on one, and not the best off-road tyres on the other, and both have no problem getting through harder terrain than this.

[lockpickman]

good video although the song made me puke.

[ManuelFerara]

Guys i own a Freelander td4.like the car but i have a few problems:

Sometimes the clutch does not work and sometimes i have to lift it up manually (i heard that it is a common Freelander problem)

I also have problems with the rear window...It does not want to go up when i open the trunk it just stays down so i have to manualy lift it up...I heard that i need to recalibrate the rear window afther replacing the battery...i tryed that but it didnt work

Can anyone help with any of these problems?

[cristisst12]

I vote for Freelander. It's the best all-rounder in his class(small SUV's). if you have good tires you can go everywhere. I use it for all the activites I like to do: fishing(and in Romania believe me the danube or any other river shore is not accessible at all with an usual street car), skiing( or in the winter it's a real pleasure to drive it on snow), or when I climb to any top of a mountain driving on a forest road.The BMW engine and transmition is awesome.Low consum on the road and powerful

[supervitara1]

Lo siento pero nunca se podrá comparar un vitara con un frelander,porsupuesto el vitara és un auténtico 4x4,y el frelander simplemente és un todocamino no muy roto,un abrazo a todos los amantes del 4x4

[riseofdixieland13]

this terrain is not very difficult

my truck could do this shit no problem

[hrick455]

tu tchekera tes lumières a brake, t'en a une coup de brulé!!

[skoornewo]

The motor was build by MG Rover and licensed to Kia motors, so technically its not a Kia motor. Kia is just using a Rover engine in a in a couple of there models.

learn the facts before you dog something.

[freedom33100]

Vehicule sous garantie constructeur arrivant chez Automotion Lyon sud avec cremaillere flotante,Mr Dominique Rougeot nous demande de revenir dans 40 jours,(certes Jaguar France n'a aucune piece de rechange en stock et nous font attendre 2 mois aussi) apres 5 mois de mauvais services,et de mauvais diagnostiques,par Elder et Marco Ribiero,nous decidons de contacter Mr Lambert pendant 2 mois,celui ci ne nous a jamais rappellai ,mais a pris la peine de porter plainte a la Gendarmerie.

[manager7680]

Very Nice..

simply awesome..

respect u all..

i m from india..

[counterclockwise123]

Why the fuck would you put music over a video like this?!

[cisaaca]

Guess those who have really weird comments never really driven one before... if you are comparing the Freelanders to the Hummer H1, Toyota Land Cruisers, etc, I have to say, yes, there are larger and better off roaders... but put the Freelander in the open, with the right tyres, it goes almost anywhere... not as fast as the larger brethren but nevertheless it will get there. One most important detail... you arrive in a Land Rover in comfort. That is one of the reasons why people loves LR.

[laughton15]

You have a light out ;)

[laughton15]

Land rover is best. Had one of these freelanders a long time ago. Now I'v got a Disco 3 (best all rounder in the world) and a Defender as a toy (best off roader in the world)

[19ultima88]

This is the first time that I'm watching a freelander doing off road!

[reilfman]

I have freelander 1.8 too ~ Good Car !

[Dockermark2]

you do realise that Landrover has a Kia motor? its a piece of rubbish

[cleanmix]

@Dockermark2 bmw motor ...

[gadgetguy4000]

@cleanmix JAGUAR!!! holy crap!!!

[Dockermark2]

diesel motor then? the petrol was rubbish. I was going to buy one and the Rover mechanic in Perth told me to run away from them.

[cleanmix]

@Dockermark2 diesel td4 !

[pabloriley]

@cleanmix the Freelander MK1 did not have a Kia engine at all. It used the Rover L-Series diesel and the Rover KV6 petrol engine that Rover also happened to sell to Kia for use in their Sedona some years ago. The new Freelander uses Ford units.

[sparkygl0s]

@Dockermark2

There's nowt wrong with Kia motors.

[skoornewo]

@Dockermark2 the motor was build by MG Rover and licensed to Kia motors, so technically its not a Kia motor. Kia is just using a Rover engine in a in a couple of there models.

[iENJOIskating209]

@Dockermark2 some have jaguar and some have bmw

[Vertuas1]

@Dockermark2

The freelander in the Video is the TD4 model, it has the BMW M47 turbo diesel .... not a Kia engine at all.

The Freelander in this video is a stock model on road tyres the Vitara has MTs on and who know what other mods. That said the standard freelander managed everything that the had to be modified for.

[Fabutek]

@Dockermark2 since when???

[abkub1]

@Dockermark2 bmw and honda motors

[thestonecoldandy]

@Dockermark2 kia own land rover you talk rubbish this video was made during the period they were owned by bmw/ford before they were sold along with jaguar to indian company tata

[bijhua]

@Dockermark2 the TD4 is a BMW engine

[MrLuke6593]

@Dockermark2 lool you are so thick , where did you get that from ?? lool everyone knows they are bmw ..

[TheMac1066]

@Dockermark2

u dumb fuck, mabey is your silly little world

[howden123456]

not a fair test for the freelander

[seba900kros]

Land Rover is the best !!!!!

[reddexred]

why did you put that awful song in the background??

[panther667]

What a pussys!!! hahaha

[snowflakebmx]

vitara 4 the win

[JasonHam41]

landrover win, the landy did with road tires what the suzuki did with a

A/T'S

[crownor13]

[utah4you]

haha les bagnoles de merde

[Russkyi1]

How good is the Freelander? i may want to get one because they are cheaper than Discovery.

[fathomx007]

@Russkyi1

I hope you read this before you get a Freelander. They're the best at being a piece of junk!  Tranny gives out too soon.

[laurafarrow97]

camera man and song choice rubbish and freelander rubbish vitara smokes it by miles

[laurafarrow97]

camera man and song choice rubbish and freelander vitara smokes it by miles

[laurafarrow97]

camerea man and song joice grap and freelander vitara smokes it by miles

[brapboys503]

Even though it's kind of unevenly matched, I still like the video and the editing skills. Good job man.

[conorejotas]

Lame video and song.

[gunny556fly]

the hell kind of a name is that? vitara? and i call the freelander the free loader cus imma jeep fan!

and remember "save a tree hit a rock"

[DENISPANAMA]

chouette la vidéo, regardez les miennes.

[02watsot]

1st of all get the 3dr version td4, 2nd don't have a tow ball (less chance of dragging ya tail) 3rd slap ya self some 1/2 deacent set of muds and maybe if ya wanna do deep water a snorkel (maybe a bit ott for the novice 4x4 like dat and there u have it a okish 4x4 that will go a lot more places than a bog standarded freelander

[4wdLimited]

Thats Nothing Compared To The Mighty 80's Series Landcruiser

[godzillaisnuclea123]

@4wdLimited that was a stupid thing to say these are softroaders the 80 series cruiser is up with the best of em like the defender and mercedes g wagen a freelander is basically a car with four wheeldrive not an offroader

[iHtun101]

I have the new FR 2. it is reliable and with AT tyres, it goes everywhere the hardcore 4x4 goes. True, the ground clearance can be an issue.

[rxhxtx]

the Vitara nots a good off-road driver

[Neroscot]

Vitara much better !

[Defender90Holland]

Freelander is missing some ground clearance.

In cross axcel situation its superb.

With a good driver a freelander will come very far.

For real 4x4 a Vitara is much better. Also to prep for 4x4 driving.

But when you take a real Land Rover, The Defender nothing comes even near.

[Landroverman1000]

dont compare 2 defrend things....

[mirkorambo94]

il pilota del freelander è veramente triste!!!!

[bladmike]

Alla grande

[therieri]

My 3 door, diesel Freelander from 2000 (not the TD4) has the nice reliable Honda/Rover engine (a little weak) but is now over 200 000 Km with the original transmission! What really ruins the Freelander's transmission (meaning the IRD, viscous coupling and rear differential) are long road journeys at over 140 Km/h, no damage offroading. The only parts I've replaced were the right side window elevator, the left side electric window switch, the rear differential support, tires and headlights.

[VoYTeCTDi]

change music or turn off soo crapy ;/

[ekhangel]

@VoYTeCTDi Agreed. I just muted this shit.

[jochasf]

I actually have a freelander, the 3 doors model.

It is a very nice off road car but it often has a lot of issues specially around the transmission.

It is quite rare to bring it over a 100 000km . But m ine has 150 is till very fine. The secret is to not let it sit in a garage. This lady has to go, go go...

[niknumberone]

Iv just bought a freelander 2, economy is up to 42mpg, and it com es with hill decent controll as standard, .....would embaress these 2,

[Justinsturdee1989]

Its a flipping soft Roader Vs a real 4wd.

[tolgaugur06]

bizde dedeme alacazda

[ShroomsPower]

can someone tell me if freelander its economy? cause i want to buy a good suv but economy 2! petrol in cyprus its too fucking expencive that's why!! =P (btw sry about my english but its not so good )

[plecmen555]

average 28-32 mpg

[Defender90Holland]

@ShroomsPower

There's Freelander available with a start-stop system.

Should be very fuel efficient.

[bigtoe85]

i like the vids but i hate the music.. dam..

[94gtvert]

Are those French number plates? I assume you have the diesel. Sadly in Texas we can only get the ones with gasoline. Performance is great but I'd rather have torque and economy. I love seeing a Freelander being put to use off road. Good job man!

[jamesysam002]

In Europe you can also get the 1.8 liter petrol K-Series engine which is what I had. Brilliant engine but so unbelievably un-reliable :(

I had one and because of the constant money going out had to get rid because of the 1.8 reliability :(

[19977o]

has any of u actually been off roadin in a suzuki or freelander

[fatprawn1]

Some of this comments are hilarious. Clearly unfounded and lacking true experience. I have an off road prepared vitara and also a defender. I have been to plenty of sites and greenlaning and only got stuck once in the vitara. They are excellent little off roaders for the money and can show other (widely accepted 'proper' 4x4s) a thing or two. Clueless springs to mind with the negative comments. Enter into the world of off roading and learn something!!!

[mattyvenny]

that was more of an on road course!

[timsurftim]

lolz

[MetuzaelBr]

forgot to defender? :D

[omgbiskitlawl]

2 absolutly rubbish off roaders! should stay infront of the salon where they belong! dont have a diff lock or a low range gearbox! and the axle articulation is pitifull. get a decent 4x4! not one to park outside a hairdresers and show off and then get stuck in a tiny puddle!

[nigelmtb]

You've never driven a Freelander offroad obviously. Mine could go to places my Defender could not.

[Cyberwwwizard]

@omgbiskitlawl - your age on your profile is 14 so have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Remember the Freelander has the HDC system, how does that work if it doesn't have diff locks? It works via the ABS. And of course these vehicles are for a purpose, not necessarily full offroading. They are extremely capable though, chimp!

[richoverip]

I could do half of that in my BMW 3 series. You should have made it a little more challenging.

[Cyberwwwizard]

@richoverip - please post the video of you doing this in your BMW 3 series, it'll be a fucking laugh when it crashes out.

[GangstaDogg21]

My uncle is a hunter and he's got a 96 Vitara 1.6 petrol.

Unless you don't sit in the car and don't drive in, you'll never know what it is capable of.

When we're bored we go to the forest with it and chase wild hogs :) We've crashed it a few times and had some roll-overs too, but it's still going :)

[chipalike]

whats with the song....

[retrofordboy]

freelanders are the biggest piece of shite going with a chassis that always breaks in the same place and the petrol models use the k series engine what were they thinking, any newer than a 90 and landys are shite, the vitara is a beast anyone who knows anything about offroading knows the vitara is better and more reliable.

[4tec4x4]

I agree all bar "the vitara is a beast " 4trak is most reliable in my opinion

[TK42138]

I'd agree. Lost count of the number of Freelander K series headgaskets we've had to replace, welded up popped spotwelds and cracks on the shell, replaced IRD's and the next to useless 'silicone filled toy' that passes for a centre diff. Having said that when they work they ain't bad - it's just that working Freelanders are a rarity. Oh, and don't get me started on the Hell-spawn that is the KV6....aarrgh!!

[dobby004]

that is pure horse shit vitaras are not good off roaders for gods sake look at all the ground clearance it has and it uses auto free wheel hubs for 4x4 instead of proper diff locks (hair dressers car)

[kittypie070]

I wanna see a video of a troop of little grey cats with party hats on, lip synching and dancing to this song.

[spliffthedog]

by the looks of this vid the freelander kicked arse as it was on road tires and the vitara was on ATs that just shows landrover make a 4x4 go further on road tires that it sells its veichles with

[cottylfc1]

The LR Freelander has slicks on doesnt it :/

[l3runolvliguel]

wtf are you all crazy? vitara beats the hell of a crap on that freelander.. that aint a true 4x4 like vitara you can put some mud terrain tires on freelander and slicks on vitara and he still kick ass

[fatsoo32]

LOL?? you're crazy man!, No the hippo isn't a true 4wd, but its stock off road capability far exceeds the vitara.

It isn't all to do with the vehicle, it's the driver, swap the drivers, you'll find the hippo would go further

[gurto1]

my old 1974 series 3 would make them both look silly

[4x4lew]

I like em' both. Given the choice I'd have the Freelander though.

Cool vid, except the music sucks

[scalacaeli]

umm the freelander was poorly built with limited off road capabilities

[BlesamaSoul]

Put some good offroad tyres on the LR and it will go most places, the Vitara is ok but I always expect it to arrive in pink driven by Barbie!

[movilogo]

@BlesamaSoul 

[59summerset]

Land Rovers using street tires.

[codprawn]

Yes exactly - the Vitara has all terrains - a hell of a difference!!!

[stewartx5]

@codprawn > '.. the Vitara has all terrains ..'

The 2-door Suzuki Vitara with canvas top is also a bit shorter and lighter than the 4-door Freelander. However, I'd choose the 4-door Suzuki Grand Vitara over either. The Grand Vitara has better 4x4 capabilities than the Freelander and more interior space than the Vitara.

[copetton]

Goooooood video complimenst vitara and freelander 2 greats offroaders!!!!
