2009 Land Rover LR2

2009 LAND ROVER LR2: New from the ground up last year, the premium-class 2009 Land Rover LR2 compact SUV continues to deliver outstanding on-road performance as well as class-leading off-road ability from All-Wheel Drive and 4-Wheel Electronic Traction Control. For '09, an HST body package and new 19-inch aluminum wheels are available. Interior pieces get upgrades and a power socket finds a home in the cargo area. Other LR2 technical highlights include a 230 horsepower, 3.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine matched to a six-speed automatic transmission. The SUV accelerates from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds, and has a top speed of 124 mph. Interior seats five adults, and cargo area provides a total luggage volume of 59 cubic feet with rear seats folded flat. A high load-space floor avoids need to bend down. Off-road capability starts with an 8.26-inch minimum ground clearance to overcome rocky, sandy, rutted or muddy terrain. This also helps LR2 wade through water up to nearly 20 inches deep..
