New Car: 2011 Land Rover LR2


Now that the rest of the Land Rover lineup has received visual and mechanical updates for 2010, the LR2 sees a few visual enhancements for 2011 that will at least bring its styling more in line with the rest of the family. A fresh front bumper with revised fog-light surrounds and the new two-bar grille strengthen the stylistic connection between the LR2 and the larger LR4. Other exterior modifications include new taillights, new wheels, and additional body-colored parts like the mirror caps, door handles, and rear bumper.

It’s also worth our noting—because it would otherwise probably go unnoticed—that the LR2 is debuting the new Land Rover logo. Wishing to be a bit more contemporary, the company has done away with the classic gold-over-green logo, favoring bright silver over green for its new badge. Not a hugely dramatic change, but a small evolution nonetheless.

Inside, the changes are limited to new trim and seat appointments, and a revised instrument cluster.

While the LR2 is actually quite capable off-road, our biggest complaint has always been with the thirsty yet still underpowered 230-hp, 3.2-liter inline-6. Sadly, Land Rover has left the engine unchanged during the freshening, but hopefully the new Evoque will bring a better powerplant to share with the LR2. The 2011 LR2 goes on sale this fall.
