Land Rover LR2 2009 UAE Prices & Specs

The LR2 is Land Rover's all-new replacement for the compact Freelander. This five-seater five-door joins the lineup as a 2008 model, and to achieve a balance between handling and comfort, it utilizes a Ford car-based platform. It supposedly retains Land Rover's legendary off-road capability, but we are not so sure, with the absence of low-range gearing. Equipped with permanent intelligent all-wheel drive, the LR2 utilizes an electronically controlled center differential to vary the torque split between the front and rear axles as needed. The LR2 also features Terrain Response and the new Roll Stability Control system. It is powered by a 3.2-litre inline-six Volvo engine combined with a six-speed automatic transmission that features manual shifting. Equipment includes leather seats, power front seats, dual-panel sunroof, keyless starter button, front and rear fog lights, rear park distance control, 18-inch alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control. Options include touchscreen DVD navigation, bi-xenon adaptive front lighting, Bluetooth hands-free telephone integration and a 14-speaker Dolby Pro Logic II 7.1 Surround Sound system.
