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.

Excellent. I dont miss my Mercedes CLS - 2008 Land Rover LR2
By Daniel - October 29 - 4:03 amI just purchased LR2 with all available options a week ago, so I cannot comment on reliability. Safety: Ive seem some crash photos from UK, and LR2 seems to be a solid truck. Power: 230HP/234lb.ft. Number isnt impressive, but thats how the engine should be for SUVs;Torque. Plenty quick. Warranty: Meets STD 4yr/50K. Maintenance included for 4 years is very nice. Other things: Its unbelievably quiet for an SUV, its tech upgrades work well.(great nav system, bluetooth, etc.) Unbeatable off-road capability. Exterior looks top-class and interior is small but luxurious and super comfortable. I dont miss my 2006 V8 Mercedes CLS (trade-in) at all. Not as fast, but I love the new LR2

From an X5 to LR2 - 2008 Land Rover LR2
By horsedoctor - April 4 - 10:20 amComing from an 03 BMW X5 makes it difficult to give this vehicle perfect marks in any departement. But a new X5 with similar options was well over 50K - my loaded LR2 was purchased for under 35K and as usual in life: you often get what you pay for. The layout and the interior design gets high marks-as well as comfortable seats and nice features such as satellite radio, heated windshield and seats, sport drive feature, security of full time all wheel drive - all while approaching 24mpg hwy and Im getting 19mpg combined. The storage areas are a bit lacking and I would have rather had a nice center armrest with more storage below it than the drop down ones. Overall this is a great SUV.
