Overview & Reviews

For 2009, Land Rover reduces the LR3 to a single trim level as features are juggled slightly. The previous HSE trim becomes an option package. Other changes include the fitment of 19-inch wheels as well as color-keyed fender flares, bumpers and lower tailgate trim as standard.

• Well-suited for both on-road cruising and off-road treks, comfortable and well-appointed interior.

• Excessive weight stunts performance, complicated audio and climate controls, spotty build quality and reliability.

  LR3 for me............. - 2009 Land Rover LR3
  By 2 Timer Land Rover - August 19 - 4:16 am

  After evaluating many mid-sized suvs, I decided on the 09 LR3 HSE. White/Blk. I just like the solid feel of these suvs. I drove the new LR4, I kinda like the utilitarian interior of the LR3.....plus about $14,000 less. My wife has an 07 LRRR, 50,000 miles and not one problem. Because of our experience with the RR, I felt good about the LR3 purchase. Gas mileage on the larger RR is 16 city & 21 hwy, I assume the LR3 will be the same. I hunt/fish so I will use the off-road ability this suv. Dealer came off $10,000 off sticker. Full maint. on the 09 not on the LR4. Look forward to happy miles like we have had with the Range Rover.

  love the all-conditions suspension control and full-time AWD. a solid truck worthy of the land rover brand. safety, comfort, and reliability are excellent. definitely worth the price. i look forward to many years of land rover ownership.

  2009 LR3 - 2009 Land Rover LR3
  By 2009 HSE LR3 - July 29 - 7:50 am

  I just took delivery on a 2009 LR3, my 2006 lease ended and definately wanted to stay with the LR3. Very pleased with all aspects of the 2006, and hoping to have as good of an experience with the 2009. We dont rock crawl but we do make use of all its off road capabilities in our travels. For the money I dont think you can beat the performance or styling, with its updated exterior its a real head turner. Very pleased with the updated interior as well, the seats are higher quality and much more comfortable. It handles great and has plenty of power. I put 62K miles on in 30 months and the only service related issue on the 06 was a leaky gasket around the thermostat, not bad.

  So Far So Good - 2009 Land Rover LR3
  By maxgold114 - December 9 - 5:00 am

  New owner of a 2009 LR3. Put about 1000 miles on in first month. Truck has great features, and while not great on gas, its not significantly different than its competition. Car works well and has been solid so far. Definitely happy with purchase so far.
