Some of the physical features of the new vehicle resemble the Discovery Series II, but overall it's a completely new vehicle. This change was brought about because the company's market share for SUVs in this price range was dropping. Consumers were going for the more sophisticated and sporty 4 x 4 models from Toyota, BMW and others.
The LR3 is so named to avoid the negative connotations of the Discovery series and because U.S. marketing gurus suggested that Americans are attracted to the alphanumeric combination. This new vehicle seats 7 adults comfortably. It is the ultimate in off-road vehicles, having reached summits that no other vehicle could before it.
It has a strong 300 horsepower, V-8 engine with 315 pounds of torque. There was also a 6-cylinder model available in 2006 and 2007, but it is no longer being offered. The interior of the vehicle is wonderfully appointed with everything you could ask for in a vehicle. The ergonomics are just perfect.
This vehicle has a Terrain Response system, so at the turn of a knob you can instruct the LR3 on what type of terrain it will experience next. It self adjusts to ensure a great ride for driver and passengers in any condition. It is programmed to handle ruts, rocks, sand, gravel, snow, mud and grass. This feature alone has won the LR3 awards and lots of excitement.
A drawback of the LR3 is that it is very heavy for its size because of the type of frame it has. This also makes it unwieldy on the highway. The vehicle also gives terrible fuel efficiency for the most part. There have been just minor changes made to the LR3 since its debut in 2005, certainly nothing to address these issues.
If you are looking for a vehicle that is capable of some serious off-road adventures and price is not too much of a concern, the LR3 may be just the SUV for you.
Land Rover LR3
The Land Rover LR3 is the 3rd generation model of the Discovery series of sport utility vehicles. Prices for the LR3 start at $49,300, making it the least expensive in the Land Rover line. Land Rover celebrates its 60th birthday in 2008 and has one of the oldest lines of SUVs on the market.
In 2004, the LR3 was introduced by Ford Motor Company, which owned Land Rover at the time. The vehicle, which was available as a 2005 model year vehicle, was a complete redesign of the Discovery Series II, which had been around since 1998. None of the same components were even used in making the LR3.
