After debuting last year, the Land Rover LR2 heads into 2009 with minimal changes. The base SE trim has been dropped, and the new HST option package adds an exterior body kit and other cosmetic upgrades.

• Roomy passenger quarters.
• Comfortable ride
• Advanced technology gives it uncommon all-terrain skills for a car-based SUV

• Mediocre performance for a luxury-brand SUV, modest handling on pavement, workaday interior design and materials, below-average cargo capacity.

  Back on the map - 2009 Land Rover LR2
  By Thorsten - November 19 - 4:50 am

  A great car and great value for your money. So far I had no issues, the car feels well build and I love to drive it. For an SUV you can drive it very sporty (has enough power)without feeling uncomfortable or unsafe. The stereo system (Alpine Dolby Surround)is fantastic, bluetooth connects right away to any of my phones (con: could be louder). Navigation is terrific but the updates are very pricey. The breaks are great (I have the 19" wheels) and the engine sounds awesome, Fuel economy is great on average 14-16 mpg city, 23-26 mpg highway (what do you expect it is an SUV). In summary it is a great all- round vehicle, which puts Land Rover back on the map

  AWESOME! - 2009 Land Rover LR2
  By AWESOME! - August 3 - 9:03 pm

  The LR2 is the best choice in its class period! The stylish and rugged look is what the land rover is about. The interior works for this vehicle and is easy to control. There is more then enough room in the back and excellent head room compared to any of the other vehicles that we looked at. Its a land rover, its unique and its should be on your list of SUVs.

  I love my car! - 2009 Land Rover LR2
  By Ray - July 12 - 11:56 pm

  I recently purchase a 2009 LR2. I was impressed at what the car was able to do off road. I also understand that the same characteristics that make it a superior off road vehicle will relate to on road performance and safety. The LR2 has power leather seats, two sunroofs and a very nice sound system. It was a wonderful buying experience.

  An authentic off road vehicle - 2009 Land Rover LR2
  By Forester - January 16 - 1:30 pm

  This car is just plain fun to drive. It is great on the highway and very capable off road. I have driven in mud, deep snow and dirt roads. It may look like a Lexus but the LR2 can really go off road. After 6000 miles no problems. Seems to be put together very well.

  NO PROBLEMS - 2009 Land Rover LR2
  By Jerry - November 21 - 6:20 pm

  I have just bought this vehicle while away on vacation. I drove it home 525 miles and it was a joy. Gas mileage was 24.8 - 25 mpg while doing 75mph. Everything works as described. I purchased vehicle with the technology and the cold climate packages. I must have bought at the right time because I got $10,000 off the sticker which put the price right at $30,800.

  Fun to Drive - 2009 Land Rover LR2
  By forester2 - July 31 - 7:26 pm

  This is a fun car to drive and is amazingly capable. It is truly a 4X4 and is not just a car with an all wheel drive attached. It handles like a sports car around town and a jeep off road. I have been driving 4X4s at work for near 35 years and cant believe how this rig takes all the drama out of muddy roads. This is a real 4X4 and Land Rover stuffed in about every technical option available somewhere into this high quality rig. No problems so far.

  Great car - 2009 Land Rover LR2
  By iain tait - March 4 - 6:43 pm

  I live in Western Australia and our CRD LR2 has just come back from 2000 miles in the outback towing a two ton caravan! This vehicle is just awesome and towed brilliantly along with going truely off road through deep soft sand, over rocks and never missed a beat. Aside from a small steering rack issue that was fixed when it was a few weeks old the car has been perfect and my wife went from sceptic to Landrover fan!
