It's easily one of the freshest faces in the premium SUV segment, and one that is sure to become a hit by way of its technology, performance, and heritage. It's Land Rover's new LR2- the fourth new model from the company
in as many years.
Completely new from the ground up, the LR2 promises exceptional on road and off road ability combined with efficient performance and striking looks.
"LR2 is an exciting vehicle for the Canadian market. It's the perfect combination of a premium sedan and a robust SUV," said Gary Moyer, President of Land Rover Canada. "With its tough go-anywhere ability, stadium seating, cabin versatility and spaciousness, we believe that no other compact SUV gets closer to blending these best-of-both-worlds abilities. We think it's the vehicle Canadians have been waiting for. "
A new 230 horsepower straight-six engine of 3.2 litres displacement
provides stirring acceleration- drivers can expect 0-60 in under nine seconds. A six-speed automatic gearbox is fitted, and comes with a manual mode function for tapping into the LR2's sporty side.
An off-road toolkit, Land Rover's Terrain Response program is standard on the LR2, and a patented Gradient Release Control feature increases driver confidence when descending slippery inclines.
Pricing for the cool and confident new LR2 starts at $44,900.
