Un-rugged Ruggedness
LR3 wrap
Given its commodious interior volume, the LR3 isn't nearly as massive outside as one might think. As an SUV, the LR3 serves-up some serious off-road ability. As a luxurious ride, it raises the bar. As an affordable, economical rig, it falls far short. The LR3 HSE as tested starts at $64,200.

To make financial matters worse, the V8-powered LR3 is rated at 17.2 and 11.5L/100km of city and highway driving respectively, and that's with premium fuel. But if the financial wherewithal is in your wallet and your needs justify this vehicle's presence in your driveway, it's hard to beat it in terms of comfort and competency, not to mention capacity.

The LR3 delivers a remarkably smooth ride for a rugged vehicle bearing a 'Land Rover' label.
