“The extraordinary is found through constant exploring.” Land Rover has made sure that their 2008 Land Rover LR2 is all about improved performance without compromising comfort and safety. With its leather-trimmed seats, nine-speaker audio for a sound system and the dual-panel sunroof, all 59 cubic feet of 2008 the Land Rover LR2 is, indeed bound to make any trip seem luxurious, not tedious. Driving around means being in different places and not all of those places can always be called “smooth.” That’s what the Terrain Response system is there for. With the LR2’s Terrain Response system, anyone can rest assured that each condition the vehicle goes through is optimized. There’s the manual mode and the sports mode, providing the driver with more ease and convenience on the road. All it takes is setting the dial to any of the following conditions: general, grass/gravel/snow, mud/ruts or sand. For off-road descents, this model has Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Gradient Release Control (GRC), managing to provide off-road descents which are controlled effortlessly. Its performance is given more power with its superior braking with an all-terrain Anti-Lock Braking System and a permanent intelligent AWD.

With a keyless entry made to be quick and easy while adding maximum safety, the ignition is also made keyless. The LR2 has added a touch of handiness by way of a push-button start. All the driver needs to do is to simple push the button and the advanced inline 6 engine is going to start. To make things easier and more comfortable for both the driver and the passengers, the dual-zone climate control makes it possible that the driver and the upfront passenger can separately set their own preferred temperature.

This model has a 3.2-liter Inline 6 Engine with 4 valves per cylinder. It has 230 horsepower and 234 lb.-ft. of torque. This delivers high-performance engine. Its torque gives you more than enough power reserve, what with its 234 lb.-ft. at 3,200 rpm. This can also mean pure power acceleration when needed. The suspension of the 2008 Land Rover LR2 is completely independent, using coil springs and struts that are massive in diameter. These make it possible to produce wheel placement which can only be defined as clear-cut.

Safety is not thrown out the window, not with this model. Made to make sure that it will be able to take on practically anything that could possibly come its way, the 2008 Land Rover LR2 is fitted with seven airbags inside. Its active and dependable technologies are meant to ensure safety. Such technologies are the enhanced braking systems and the Roll Stability Control (RSC). The Roll Stability Control monitors vehicle movement regularly to sense a rollover that might be imminent. To make sure the passengers and the driver are safe, high-strength steel is used.

The exterior is created just as well. There’s the well-known clamshell hood, coupled with the signature grille. Its interlocking headlights are made to be able to sense even in the darkness. When it gets dark, the smart headlights brighten automatically and when the rain pours, the headlight washers are instinctively set in motion. It also has the ability to avoid condensation that could possibly seep in. This is because of the membrane contained in it to expel the heat. It also has the finest new design: body-colored bibs, side sills, rear spoiler, and the HSE badge. Not stopping there, Land Rover also gave the door handles a titanium finish. Created with care and precision, the 2008 Land Rover LR2 is also built with front and rear fog light, heated exterior mirrors and Park Distance Control.

Three options are offered as well with this model: the Cold Climate Package, Technology Package, and Lighting Package. Whether this model is purchased as is or with an option package, the 2008 Land Rover LR2 has been getting good reviews.
