“Built for the Unexpected”
It was announced at the Geneva Motor Show that the 2008 model for Land Rover LR3 will be sporting some changes, mainly on its interior. New details are added – details which are made of high quality materials. Metallic highlights and Noble Chrome plating which serves as an accent lends an air of class and sophistication to this new Land Rover. Quite spacious, the 2008 LR3 can seat seven adults. To give more space for luggage or cargo when the passengers are less than seven, the second and third row seats can be folded. Traveling is made easier with the help of technology such as Bluetooth and GPS (premium navigation system). The Bluetooth provides the driver hands-free communication. This is very important since it allows the driver to keep both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road while still maintaining communication with people who matter. The GPS is an advanced DVD-based system which provides ample information about things related to traveling, such as the nearest gas station, hotel or ATM. This navigator gives off the information clearly with its seven-inch, high resolution display. The 2008 Land Rover LR3 also comes with Automatic Climate Control, which ensures a comfortable ride. The Cold Climate Package is an option that is offered for this model. It includes heated front and rear seats as well as a heated windshield.
Better handling means a better take on safety. It seems as if the 2008 LR3 knew that as well, as it features Active Roll Mitigation, Cornering brake Control, Anti-lock Brake System, and Emergency Brake Assist. All of these are meant to assure both driver and passengers that they are in for a safe ride. Its Dynamic Stability Control also aids in giving more ease in driving.
Powered by a 32-valve, 4.4-liter engine, this model gives a powerful torque of 315 lb.-ft. This means getting out of road trouble more quickly than usual. It is a four-wheel drive which has a six-speed automatic transmission. If you’re wondering what the price for this tough yet sleek vehicle is, it is reported to be roughly around $54,025.
