Overview

The 2011 Land Rover LR2 SUV is a proud member of the compact SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the BMW X3 xDrive28i SUV, the Volvo XC60 SUV, and the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class SUV. With standalone trim, the LR2 carries a base price of MSRP of $35,700. Its 3.2L Inline-6 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 230 horsepower and 234 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 8.4 seconds and boasts a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the LR2 manages to get a combined EPA rating of 17 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 8.3 inches.
