You could be right with freelander 1 as long as it has ABS and tc.
I don't have experience with the freelanders but I think I personally would go for the D3.

But what is a Defender 2? I know the difference between a Land Rover and a Defender but when did the Defender 2 come in? Roel

1984 90 2.5 na Diesel - RR V8 (1994-2001)
1997 Camel Trophy Discovery 300TDI (2001-2009)
2005 G4 Discovery III 4.4 V8 (2008-2018) It's gone but it still hurts.

I'd guess for normal road driving in the snow - Freelander - the lighter the better.
(One of the best cars for snowy roads was the old panda 4x4, light & on skinny tyres.)

Might be different choice for off-roading in snow... where ground clearance & articulation would be more relevant?

TBH any of them would be great in snow, not sure why the votes for the FL1 though, they are only part time 4wd and you have to rely on the viscous coupling locking up to give you traction at the rear, my D1 copes very well in snow, never had any issues at all and no TC fitted. Andy
