Land Rover LR4 Model Years and History

The LR4 is essentially unchanged for 2016.

The LR4 is essentially unchanged for 2015, save for the addition of running boards, which are now standard across all trim levels.

The LR4 got some exterior refreshing in the grill, fascia and headlights. Last year's 5.0L V8 has been replaced with a more efficient 3.0L V6 mated with an 8-speed automatic transmission. A 2-speed transfer case is newly optional as well.

The LR4 gets several enhanced features for 2013. A new navigation system is a huge improvement over the old one and allows for a much greater level of user customization including several off-road focused features. A new Black Design Package sharpens up the look of the vehicle with painted black wheels, door handles, vents and grill. An Extended Leather Package and two new interior colors round out the changes to the LR4.

The LR4 comes back for 2012 nearly unchanged. Last year's Metropolis editions have been dropped, and 20" wheels are now optional on the base trim.

Following its introduction as a new model last year, the 2011 Land Rover LR4 is relatively unchanged.

The all-new LR4 is Land Rover's replacement for the outgoing LR3. The name doesn't mean it's any bigger than the previous SUV from Land Rover -- as a matter of fact, it's a new vehicle, built on the same platform as the LR3, but with 1300 new parts. The LR4 is the fourth generation of Land Rover's mid-sized SUV, with a new direct-injected 5-liter V8 and a much cleaner center console. Exterior styling got a major freshening, with LED tail lights, a 2-bar grille and improved aerodynamics.
