Land Rover LR4

The LR4 is Land Rover's fourth generation of versatile mid-size SUV, replacing the previous generation LR3 model. It combines responsive on-road performance with go-anywhere off-road capability in a single rugged vehicle that still retains typical Land Rover levels of comfort and luxury.

The five-passenger LR4 is powered by a 375-hp 5.0-liter V8 engine with direct fuel injection, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission with CommandShift manual shift control. Full-time four-wheel drive with Land Rover's acclaimed "Terrain Response" system, an electronic air suspension and hill descent control help the LR4 tackle any off-road situation. Standard features include a glass alpine roof, 19-inch alloy wheels, leather seat upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control and Bluetooth wireless connectivity/audio streaming; an optional third row boosts seating capacity to seven. Safety equipment includes four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, electronic stability control with traction control and roll mitigation, rear park assist and a tire pressure monitor, as well as front, front side-impact and overhead curtain airbags for all rows. An available Vision Assist Package offers adaptive front lighting and automatic high beam assist, as well as a surround camera system.

The Land Rover LR4 carries over with minor changes for 2012. The standard audio system has been enhanced, adding a 7-inch color touch screen, 380-watt amplifier and Bluetooth audio streaming, while the optional hard-drive based navigation system now features internal memory storage and traffic alert.
