''Tough times d o n ’t last hut tough people do"
the center transm ission lever up
or down. But there are no paddles
on the steering wheel for manual
shifting. Like all Rovers its hard­
ware has additional seals to safe­
guard against dust and muck, and
also includes a more sophisti­
cated lubrication system designed
for the higher stress and tem pera­
tures caused by driving slowly
over rough terrain.
Kudos to Land Rover engi­
neers on the LR2's four-wheel
electronic traction control, con­
tin u o u sly v a ry in g fro n t/re a r
to rq u e sp lit sy stem and the
autom aker's Terrain Response
system that enables a driver to
choose settings for grass, gravel,
snow, mud, ruts and other off­
road conditions. Did I mention
that the LR2 can roll through a
stream nearly 20 inches deep with
no problem? It can.
LR2 ride is smooth from a sus­
pension desig n ed to cushion
bumps o n -o r off-road. Handling
is su rp risin g ly nim ble. Even
though you sit high to maneuver
through mud, snow or sand, you
can take a paved corner without
feeling top-heavy or spilling the
coffee from exaggerated body
lean.
Land Rover lineage is evident
in the L R 2's front- and back-end
styling. The more elfish LR2 main­
tains a com m anding presence,
due to the prominent contours of
its roofline and Range Rover-like
w ra p a ro u n d
g la ss
and
headlamps. It's not as squared
off as the LR3 and not as re­
strained as the posh Range Rover,
but it incorporates forms from
both larger SUVs.
Though the LR2 isn't particu­
larly luxurious, it does come with
upscale accouterm ents like sta­
bility and roll control, antilock
brakes, electronic brake-force dis­
tribution, brake assist, hill-de-
scent control, seven air bags,
le a th e r u p h o ls te ry , a n in e -
speaker Alpine sound system, a
six-disc CD changer, dual-zone
automatic clim ate control, a dual
sun roof, power seats and mir­
rors, and cruise control.
A technology package adds
DVD

sy ste m ,
B luetooth phone and satellite
radio for $3,500;cold-climate pack­
age adds heated seats and heated
w indshield/w asher jets for $700:
and light package adds Bi-Xenon
headlam ps, adaptive front lamps
that move in the direction the
ste e rin g w h e e l's tu rn e d and
memory seats/mirrors for$ 1,050.
These push LR2 over $40.000.
As you’d expect in the LR2's
price range, seat-m ounted side
air bags and curtain air bags are
standard, as are antilock brakes
and stability control - the latter
with softw are to help prevent
rollovers.
All things considered, the LR2
is worth a test drive -- a premium
brand for som ething less than a
premium price.
