The 2015 model year would be the final act for Land Rovers LR2. The little utility vehicle is being supplanted because of the Range Rover Evoque which shares its basic underpinnings and the forthcoming Discovery Sport model. The Land Rover LR2 soldiers on with stable towing capability, good ground clearance, as well as all-wheel drive.

In harmony, the Land Rover LR2 sits more while using German luxury crossovers-- the Mercedes GLK--than it does with Japanese hardware like the Acura RDX. It feels bigger, and sits more upright. It offers a superior more back-seat space than japan crossovers, and its cargo space is above the mean to the class, but theres no third-row seat--thats the province in the bigger LR4. Recent updates also helped enhance the LR2s fuel economy, though its still less than class-leading, and lags behind which of its Evoque counterpart.

Despite its more traditional role inside Land Rover family, the 2015 Land Rover LR2 embodies a similar upscale heritage. Its not nearly as quick because latest BMW X3 nor since efficient, and its probably equally off-road-capable as the Benz GLK, less so. But like those two utes and above all of those other contenders, theres some real upper crust inside LR2s folded fenders and in its green-and-silver badge.

The 2015 Land Rover LR2 is sold in just one drivetrain configuration inside U. S. The former in-line six-cylinder was sent packing simply the same 240-horsepower, 2. 0-liter turbo four found in the Evoque and its less smooth, but way more entertaining--the flat - steady progress gives way to peaky power channeled well by using a six-speed automatic (The Evoque gets a nine-speed that helps smooth the engines rough edges, furthermore aiding fuel economy immensely) Handling 60 mph is slightly a smaller amount arduous, but its nearly since quiet, since the engine brings a number of new underbody structure with it--a notable upgrade from the Evoque. The Land Rover LR2doesnt obtain other running-gear But the lighter engine lifts weight from the steering. The ride and controlling are pleasant and comfortable, a good little frisky when pressed in corners, with more sensation in its steering than its brawnier cousins.

There is no hardcore, off-road-ready two-speed transfer circumstance, but the rugged-looking Land Rover LR2 lives up to a lot the macho promise baked in its crisply folded sheetmetal.
