Engine and Performance
7.8/10


The 2011 Land Rover LR2 is powered by a 3.2 L in-line 6 engine which makes 230 hp and 234 foot-pounds of talk. The engine is paired to a 6-speed automatic transmission, which has the feature of manual shift modes, and this directs all the power to all the wheels.

And performance testing, the Land Rover LR2 does the 0 to 60 sprint and 43 seconds and the standing quarter-mile and 16.8 seconds after which it will continue to its top speed of 124 mph. The performance is decent as this is a bit more focused on off-roading.

Safety
6.0/10


The NHTSA and the IIHS have not yet crash-tested the 2011 Land Rover LR2. When tested we expect the LR2 gets good scores in its tests from both organizations. Land Rover does install many safety features in the LR2, some of these safety features are:

  • Anti-locking braking system
  • Brake assist
  • Traction control
  • Roll Stability control
  • Multiple airbag systems
  • Electronic brake force distribution
  • Cornering brake control

Final Verdict


The Land Rover LR2 is a boxy off-roader that comes with many premium features. The interior space is good as it is similar to the competition and comes with a good amount of technology as well. The LR2 does lack a bit in performance but is as much off-road-focused as it is comfortable. We will say this car is good to have as an option on your list.
