Overview

The 2012 Land Rover LR4 SUV is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns with cars like the Audi Q7, the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class, and the BMW X5. Available as a standalone trim, the Land Rover LR4 SUV starts off at a base price of MSRP of $48,900. Its 5.0L V8 engine and 6-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 375 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 7.5 seconds and boasts a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Land Rover LR4 SUV manages to get a combined EPA rating of 14 MPG, a poor number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 7.3 inches.

Buying Advice

Since the LR4 is available in a single trim level, we recommend pairing it with the available HSE and Climate Comfort package that includes features such as bi-xenon adaptive headlights, premium leather upholstery, power steering wheel adjustments, interior ambient lighting, LED daytime running lights, power-folding mirrors, front parking sensors and more.
