The 2009 Land Rover LR2 is the smallest in a lineup of proven SUVs from this automaker. 35,000, it's by far the most affordable as well. The LR2 is classified as a compact luxury SUV, and competes with the Acura RDX and the BMW X3. The LR2 remains unchanged from last year's model, with the exception of the addition of an HST option package. Even this involves only minor stylistic options. Available trim levels include the base SE, and the top end HSE models. Only one engine is available in the 2009 LR2. A 230 HP 3.2L inline 6 cylinder engine powers the permanent four wheel drive with a six speed automatic transmission. The smallest offering of Land Rover comes standard with the Terrain Response System, which can be set for any one of four different terrain settings. Estimated fuel mileage is said to be 15 around the city, and 22 on the highway. Obviously, this is somewhat poor for a vehicle of this size.
Cargo space likewise lags behind that of the competition, with only 72.5 cubic feet of space with the second and third rows folded flat -- about the same as a Honda CR-V. When both rear seating rows are in use, the rear cargo area measures a paltry 10.9 cubic feet. The base 3.0T engine serves up respectable passing power in the 2015 Audi Q7, while the more powerful S line version delivers extra punch with no penalty at the gas pump. Unfortunately, the penalty is pretty stiff to begin with -- the MDX, for example, gets 5 more mpg on the highway, and it's also a few tenths quicker to 60 mph. The pick of this litter is the TDI diesel, as it's relatively fuel-efficient and has plenty of torque for most situations. The Q7 is best on the open road. It is whisper-quiet on the inside (even with the diesel engine) and has surprisingly quick reflexes that make this big crossover seem smaller than it really is. The ride quality, however, may be a bit too firm for some shoppers, in which case we recommend the Prestige trim's optional air suspension with adjustable comfort settings.
The slit is where combustion gases burned through the fire ring. The photo below shows the block on a motor where this happened. If you repair this problem promptly the block won't be damaged, but if they drive it a long way the block will be eroded, and you will have a very expensive repair.

This article applies to the pushrod V8 engines used in Land Rover Defender, Range Rover, and Discovery from 1983 to 2004. Search the blog index for my earlier articles on these motors.
