Vulnerable areas of the car, including the sills and lower doors, are coated in a tough thermoplastic cladding. Freelander 2 is designed to be able to brush off knocks and scuffs. Ultra-high-strength steel is used more extensively than in any previous Land Rover, in the door beams and for various strengthening reinforcements.

Freelander 2 uses a monocoque construction. Land Rover Freelander 2 is available with a wide variety of wheels and tyres, ranging from 16-inch to 19-inch diameter. The large front discs – 316 mm on the petrol model, 300 mm on the diesel – are ‘reverse vented’, so they draw cool air into the disc over the central bell, which is then vented out from the rim of the disc. The Freelander 2 has large vented brake discs front and rear.

Land Rover Freelander 2 was launched at the British International Motor Show in London. Rather than the ladder chassis design that has been used ever since the Series 1, the Freelander is designed with a monocoque body shell type construction like that on modern cars. The Land Rover Freelander's body and suspension do indeed depart from standard Land Rover practice.
