What Changed for 2008:

• All-new model replaces Freelander


• New 3.2-liter inline 6-cylinder engine


• 6-speed automatic transmission


• Terrain Response System (TRS)


• HSE model added midyear

Land Rover introduces the LR2 as an all-new compact luxury sport-utility vehicle (SUV) for 2008. The LR2 takes the place of the Freelander, which was offered in the U.S. from 2002 to 2005, as Land Rover’s least expensive SUV. It comes standard with all-wheel drive (AWD) with Land Rover’s TRS, which is designed to help the vehicle deal with various types of terrain. The LR2 has two rows of seats for 5-passenger capacity, and the rear seats fold down to open up 58.9 cubic feet of cargo room.
