td4 or sd4

hej
Looking to buy a freelander 2 and there are two over here (sweden) that are within my price range a td4 2011 with 149000 kilometer, looks like one of the high lv trims, has leather seats, alpine system, parking sensor, cruise control, full service book or there is a 2011 sd4 180000 kilometers alpine system, rain sensors, cruise control, xenon lights says on description it is an S spec but think it has a a few upgrades. Will be using it up here in the north, 8 months of snow, journeys of around mostly around 200 kilometers. I'm a 62 year old so not into boy racing, which one to go for. So what do you experts think, advice please.

Both are good engines. SD4 has more power. 0 to 60mph time is 2 seconds quicker over TD4. In gear 40 to 70mph acceleration is faster anorl. Which would I have? The SD4 engine on the TD4, just for the power, but yer dun't have to use the power. SD4 on a Freelander 2 is auto gearbox only. TD4 available in auto or manual. Make sure is has terrain response to help in the snow. Auto is betterer oft road.

For the spec... find a vehicle with the spec you want and engine. Lot's out there for sale. The S spec trim was the base model in the UK. I know it's the wrong country but there's some brochures of uk spec models over ere:

Sd4 will give you better economy, the td4 is 160 bhp, so they are both a nice car to drive !

SD4, it's the more modern variant with more torque and an auto gearbox.
Can't see why you'd have the TD4.

thanks guys, just seen a new post on blocket, the swedish eBay, a beautiful sd4 HSE 2012 100000k on the clock, just out of my price range, but do we starve for the next 5 years, I reckon so. We will see, I'll post pics when we buy what we buy.

okay brought a F2 S 2011sd4 with 100,000k on the clock wasn't the hse felt it might be wise to try to eat something over the next 5 yrs, pick it up next wednesday then its a 18hr drive home, yes stopping over with friends in Stockholm to break the journey, that should test it out. Post pics when I get it home
