Being that Land Rover is the top manufacturer of SUVs on the market, one would think that they'd have gotten it right by now. However, many are under the impression that Land Rover's LR2 was somewhat of an afterthought, and that the newest concept, the LRX, was really what was on their minds. The LR2 is listed at $34,700, a modest price for the usually higher value SUV maker. This price point put the LR2 in competition with America's leading manufacturers, and though early reactions to the SUV proved to be encouraging, many feel that the likes of Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge might better suit their needs. Since its inception, buyers have complained about the LR2 experiencing major electronic glitches. Land Rover's Terrain Response system has had issues. The keyless start has also failed. The windshield wipers that sense moisture are not reacting to downpours. Nevertheless, these problems certainly haven't occurred in all of the SUVs.
Many people love their newest addition. The raised rear seating, characteristic of a Land Rover, is being enjoyed by consumers. Large windows to let the outside in take center stage. Rear folding seats and ample cargo room add to the spacious design. Though some claim that the Terrain Response has been nothing but a pain, others boast that it is the best feature of the LR2. They say that Terrain Response allows them to go off-roading with confidence and comfort. Also, a massive two-sectioned panoramic sunroof is standard in the LR2. The LR2's 3.2L 6-cylinder engine actually produces a surprisingly 230 horsepower. The LR2 gets an estimated 16 city MPG and 23 highway MPG. While it is not superior fuel economy, it fits right in with the other SUVs in its class.
With Land Rover expected to improve upon the faulty electronics in the LR2, it could certainly end up with a superior compact SUV. However, Land Rover will have to get over the initial slump to really push forward with the LR2. Since Land Rover has already turned its sights on its newest concept, the LRX, buyers will have to wait and see if they stay true to their promise to fix the issues in the LR2. They might end up with too much on their SUV
Land Rover LR2
The Land Rover LR2 is a small-sized SUV that packs a punch. First developed in 2007 and released in 2008, the LR2 is Land Rover's answer to those seeking a compact SUV, like the Jeep Patriot, with all the amenities of a luxury vehicle. While initial reviews of the SUV were mixed, more and more buyers have been commenting negatively on the electronic malfunctions in the LR2. With it only being months old, the LR2 has certainly received a generous mix of both positive and negative press. Many have been asking if Land Rover simply has too much on their plate. They've released four new vehicles in the past four years, and some are questioning if this is simply too much for the maker.
