2011 Land Rover LR2 luxury crossover SUV

2011 Land Rover LR2 Review
The 2011 Land Rover LR2 is for people who want a luxurious small SUV with competent off-roading ability.  If you need off-road capability in your luxury compact SUV, the LR2 is a fine choice. 

The LR2 gets a few changes for 2011. The Land Rover LR2 comes only in HSE trim, but you can add the HSE Plus and HSE Lux packages for more features. The LR2 comes standard with all-wheel drive.
The company's answer is the 2011 Land Rover LR2.

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. The 2011 Land Rover LR2 is a small luxury crossover SUV available in one trim level.
Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels, a rear spoiler, foglights, a dual-panel sunroof, rain-sensing wipers, rear parking sensors, perforated leather seats, power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless ignition/entry, a trip computer and a nine-speaker sound system with a six-CD changer and an auxiliary audio jack.
The Climate Comfort package adds a heated windshield, heated washer jets and heated front seats. The 2011 Land Rover LR2 is powered by a 3.2-liter inline-6 that produces 230 hp and 234 pound-feet of torque. The 2011 Land Rover LR2 comes with a decent complement of safety features that includes antilock brakes with brake assist, traction and stability control, roll stability control, hill-descent control, front-seat side airbags, full-length side curtain and thorax airbags and a driver's knee airbag.
The 2011 LR2's smooth, luxurious ride is typical for a Land Rover. The LR2 easily bests the competition when it comes to off-road performance, thanks in large part to the model's ground clearance and Terrain Response system.

Land Rover, the brand synonymous with luxurious off-road capability, has just released its 2011 LR2, featuring the first-ever front-drive model, an updated look and improved engines for the new model year. Body-color tailgate handle, door handles, and door mirrors are also available or standard, depending on the model. Inside, the 2011 LR2 gets new seat styles, redesigned instruments, and a change to the Land Rover logo, which drops the gold-on-green look for silver-on-green. The 2011 Land Rover LR2 carries forward Land Rover's excellent four-wheel drive technology and suite of computer-controlled traction and surface settings.
