Overview

The 2015 Land Rover LR2 SUV is a proud member of the compact SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the BMW X3, the Audi Q5, and the Lexus NX200t. Spread across 3 trims, the Land Rover LR2 starts off at a base price of MSRP of $36,600 and carries on to $41,700. Its 2.0L turbocharged inline-4 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 240 horsepower and 250 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 8.2 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 4409 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the LR2 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 20 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 8.3 inches.

Buying Advice

The base trim itself would satisfy all your needs in a premium SUV unless you fancy luxury. Therefore, we recommend the base trim that comes with features like rear parking sensors, leather upholstery, power front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, an 11-speaker Meridian sound system, and so forth.
