2008 Land Rover LR2 Review

The all new 2008 Land Rover LR2 SE SUV is compact, yet powerful with it's 3.2L I-6 DOHC all aluminum, Volvo made, 230 hp SMPI engine. The LR2 replaces the old 3 door Freelander and offers easier access with its 5 doors and 8.3 ground clearance. Whether your climbing the dunes or cursing through the city, you'll feel the incredible response of LR2's smooth 6 speed automatic transmission pushing 0-60 mph in 8.4 seconds.

The 2008 Land Rover LR2's cabin combines the feeling of luxury with the rugged outdoors. Coming standard with black or gray leather interior trim, or you can choose the surprising Pixel Metallic. The roominess of the cabin is a noticeable difference from the cramped Freelander. Offering power seats, electronic stability control, satellite radio with 14 Dolby Pro Logic speakers, and the popular split folding rear seat, the 2008 Land Rover LR2 will quickly become your favorite.

Power and practicality, the new 2008 Land Rover LR2 boasts 18mpg city and 24 mpg highway. Standard safety features include side-impact, dual-front, rear and front side-curtain, as well as driver's knee air bags. The standard antirollover technology and electronic traction control will deliver the safety your family needs. Interior options include: heated front seats and a Bluetooth navigation system.

Even though some think the LR2 is a "baby" Land Rover it is certainly no wimp. The LR2's stylish sleek design combined with its kick'in 4x4 performance will deliver the power you need. Land Rover has always had a legendary reputation for great mechanical reliability and the 2008 LR2 carries on the tradition with a fresh point of view.
