The Freelander 2 featured a sleek and aerodynamic exterior design, characterized by its flowing lines and sculpted surfaces. The front fascia incorporated a bold grille with horizontal slats, flanked by swept-back projector headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights. The side profile was accentuated by flared wheel arches, prominent side cladding, and roof rails. The rear end featured a wraparound tailgate with integrated spoiler and LED taillights.

Inside, the Freelander 2 offered a spacious and well-appointed cabin. The dashboard featured a central touchscreen infotainment system, flanked by air conditioning vents and easy-to-reach controls. The instrument cluster consisted of clear analog gauges, supplemented by a full-color TFT display. High-quality materials were used throughout, including leather upholstery and soft-touch plastics.
