The latest generation of Land Rover LR2 2013 dates back to 2007. It is therefore in the seventh year since its redesign. And when compared to the model in 2012, we realize that the British manufacturer was a little shy in terms of changes and improvements, and must have a keen eye to see the differences. The headlights and taillights, however, are part of the changes that have been made clear in Land Rover LR2 2013. Even if it is due to go to the mill and if it is a bit old school, it is a vehicle that integrates technological qualities of the Evoque with whom he shared the platform.

Mechanicals of Land Rover LR2 2013

Change is under the hood of the Land Rover LR2 2013. Until last year, the British manufacturer used the 6-cylinder in-line 3.2-liter Volvo developed a power of 230 horsepower and torque produced 234 foot-pounds. This year, we used a 4-cylinder engine from Ford, a mechanical lighter than 40 pounds and more powerful 10. This is the 2-liter EcoBoost found in the Range Rover Evoque models and many American manufacturer Ford. The gearbox is a 6-speed automatic with manual mode.

This 4-cylinder engine develops 240 horsepower so to 5500 revolutions per minute and produces a torque of 250 lb-ft. One might expect that two cylinders less have an effect on the towing capacity of the Land Rover LR2 2013. However, this is not the case. He is still able to pull a trailer with brakes 1500 pounds. In terms of fuel consumption, we speak of 13.8 liters per 100 kilometers in the city and 9.8 on the road. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h in about 8.5 seconds. Land Rover LR2 2013 also uses a Haldex AWD system that puts the SUV traction default power goes to the rear wheels as needed. And one of the great qualities of the Land Rover LR2 2013, like the other models of the brand also is the system Terrain Response allows the driver to attack all types of surfaces according to his mood.

Body and interior of Land Rover LR2 2013

The Land Rover LR2 2013 has much to offer in the cockpit. The materials are very good quality, and technology abound. The driver will find a 7-inch screen linked to the new navigation system with voice recognition and a rear-view camera, very useful on this type of vehicle on high wheels. With this camera, the driver can align the center line of the display to align perfectly to attach the trailer to which it wants to attach. Simple, but very useful!

If the trend continues, the Land Rover LR2 2013 knife should pass next year. Never mind that, even after seven years, we did not feel it has aged, far from it! He is tall and square, it shows a much more traditional look than its little brother, the Range Rover Evoque, but it contains an abundance of technology that makes it one of the best vehicles of its kind on the market.
