2010 Land Rover LR4 Review

The 2010 Land Rover LR4 arrives on the US markets having a lot in common with the pricier Range Rover Sport. In fact, they share the same platform, independent suspension system, powertrain and drive system. The difference in price comes from the fact that the LR4 comes with less standard equipment and is designed to be a more practical, working vehicle. That doesn't mean that it doesn't come loaded down with cool features for technology, convenience, comfort and performance. The LR4 is based on its predecessor, the LR3 which won over 100 awards for its innovative design.
