The high performing vehicle was part of the Land

Rover objective and mission of putting in the market a luxurious but affordable SUV that came with the highly venerable Land Rover brand name.

It was more of a mass market SUV that satisfied the wants of consumers who wanted a luxurious but affordable SUV with a fair amount of all-terrain capability and strong on-the-road performance.

Engine SpecificationsThe earlier generation LR2 came equipped with a 3.2 liter engine capable of taking the vehicle to 60 miles per hour from zero in just over eight seconds.
