2011 Land Rover LR2 Reviews
The 2011 Land Rover LR2 is an SUV with a 3.2L V6 engine, capable of putting out 230 hp, coupled with a six-speed automatic transmission.
Safety features are ample for the Land Rover LR2, and include antilock brakes, electronic traction control, dynamic stability control, cornering brake control, emergency brake assist, seven airbags, including side curtain airbags, and roll stability control, which is an ideal feature for anyone considering taking the LR2 off road.
The 2011 Land Rover LR2 does not represent a great departure from previous years' models of the LR2, with its trademark angular design, large square front headlamps, front fender vents, and slightly more rounded edges to soften the extreme linear design of years past. Performance-wise, Land Rover has always had a reputation for high quality, and the LR2 is no exception.
The Land Rover LR2 has an excellent track record in terms of both maintenance and resale value. With a host of safety features, including anti-lock brakes, emergency brake assist and 7 airbags, the Land Rover is suitable for driving families anywhere. Although not particularly fast, the Land Rover is reliable.
Larger Land Rovers have become symbols of success, but they've also become increasingly expensive. The company's answer is the 2011 Land Rover LR2.
The LR2 attempts to deliver the luxury, prestige and relative off-road prowess of the brand's flagship models in a more city-oriented and pocketbook-friendly package. Pleasingly, the LR2 lives up to Land Rover's famous off-road heritage with decent ground clearance, standard all-wheel drive and plenty of electronic aids to help provide superior traction in challenging terrain. Unfortunately, most other newer models have surpassed the 2011 Land Rover LR2 in terms of all-around competence and performance.
