Overview & Reviews
Replacing the old Freelander, the 2008 Land Rover LR2 is an all-new small luxury SUV tuned for a compromise between on- and off-road performance.
- Advanced technology gives it uncommon all-terrain skills for a car-based SUV, comfortable ride, roomy passenger quarters.
- Mediocre acceleration for a luxury-brand SUV, modest handling on pavement, workaday interior design and materials, below-average cargo capacity.

LR2 is solid - 2008 Land Rover LR2
By yeomancavalry - September 24 - 12:40 pmExcellent visibility, excellent ride, and very little wind noise. Standard luxury interior, standard features are simply remarkable for a vehicle within the $35,000 price range. For a small ute it has excellent leg space and headroom. The wide body gives a nice distance between driver and passenger. Dependable terrain response. Fully more off-road capable than initially expected despite not being a true 4x4. GPS is awesome! Well laid out. Very solid doors. Lots of safety standards like drivers knee airbag. Related to the Volvo S81, so you know its safe! Peppy motor and easy access maintenance. Awesome 7.1 channel Dolby, 14 speakers surround sound!

Stylish Beast - 2008 Land Rover LR2
By Mike J - July 31 - 11:36 amThe best looking crossover out there, with tons of safety features- in the safety department, second to none. Everyone thinks its a Range, but its half the price and does the trick for me. Ive had it for over a month and still love getting inside to drive every day.

Fun to drive - 2008 Land Rover LR2
By Allan - July 31 - 10:03 amThis is my first SUV and Im enjoying the experience immensely. The first 2000 miles have been a joy and the quality is amazing. This is definitely an excellent value. The comfort is better than the Mercedes CLK it replaced. The safety features are second to none. The upgraded 14 speaker sound system has a range that makes it a joy to listen to, especially the classical music, where the highs and lows are lost in most vehicles. The upgraded halogen headlights follow the steering wheel around corners and up and down hills. There is so much to recommend in this vehicle, I suggest you take it for a spin. This is my first Range Rover, but it wont be my last.

Excellent purchase - 2008 Land Rover LR2
By steve - July 24 - 9:23 amI felt I got A LOT for the price. I was very impressed by how it drove but the style of the vehicle is very impressive !!! I get stopped a lot by people telling me how sharp my car looks. I see a lot of LR2s around beautiful Santa Barbara. Kids love their own sunroof for the backseat !

Great CUV with Offroad Capability - 2008 Land Rover LR2
By BAM - July 18 - 3:36 amThis is a great crossover SUV, maintains offroad capability while still offering a very nice onroad experience. I spent quite a bit of time comparing to RDX and X3 and test driving each, and disagree with the Edmunds review about "workaday" interior with the LR2 compared to the X3. The seats are great and the interior is sharp too. Acceleration wont be winning any races, but its just fine for what it needs, I never feel like the engine is straining at any speed. Although the cargo space is listed as lower than the X3, it didnt really seem so after taking a look inside. I would definitely recommend this car to a friend.

So Far So Good - 2008 Land Rover LR2
By rgosalvez - July 4 - 8:20 pmI have owned my LR2 for 3 weeks now. I am very impressed with the level of standard equipment on this vehicle for the price. Comparably equipped X3s and RX 350s are several thousand dollars more. After 3 weeks, I have had no problems at all. I have, however, had many people provide positive comments on the look of the vehicle. The ride is very comfortable and the fuel economy is about what I expected. Most of the interior build and quality seems good except for some creaking I have noticed in the door panels.

I Love my LR2 - 2008 Land Rover LR2
By nekemomo - April 16 - 7:13 pmI have to say I was getting discouraged with some of the cross- overs as I was looking for a new vehicle. My husband sent me the link to check out the LR2 and I instantly was intrigued. We went and test drove the vehicle and it was a done deal. It handles exceptionally well, has a smooth ride and excellent technology. Whenever I am driving in town people check out my car, and I get tons of compliments. You dont see many of them on the road, which is another great thing about Land Rover. I couldnt be more in love with my car!

A little more HP please - 2008 Land Rover LR2
By Kevin - March 18 - 9:46 amI purchased my Stornoway Gray LR2, with all all options, in late April and now at 2100 miles I still am impressed. Originally I was thinking about buying a LR3 but needed something a little smaller and the BMW X3 didnt cut it. Overall the exterior and interior look of the vehicle is sharp but I wish the engine had a little more HP...like 275- 280. I primarily use the LR2 for work so its mostly paved road driving which is very comfortable. However I recently took it off road and realized it was truly a Land Rover but it does have a pretty good sway over rough terrain. For myself, my wife and dog this is our weekend getaway vehicle and it is more than enough room and very fun.

Awesome Luxury SUV for the Money - 2008 Land Rover LR2
By Mark Bulleri - December 17 - 2:13 amWe love our LR2. We tested the MDX and Nissan Murano and as soon as we got into the LR2 and started it up, we were hooked. Our eyes said it all and our salesman knew he hooked us. There are 2 improvements that I would have wanted, more horsepower for changing lanes on the highway and the bluetooth doesnt work with my blackberry. But all in all, I would highly recommend the LR2 it is fun to drive and is super stylish.
