The tough and ready 2009 Land Rover LR3 can travel over rough terrain like a M4 Sherman tank and still offer a completely luxurious ride for all occupants. These midsized luxury SUVs are renowned for their ability to go virtually anywhere - and they also handle very well on the roads. This is especially impressive considering their nearly-6000 pound vehicular weight. Coincidentally, the main drag about the LR3s is the fact that they deliver only 17/12 mpg highway/city - sort of like a tank as well. The 2009 LR3 has seen little change from the 2008 models. There have been a few exterior and interior tweaks, but otherwise they are direct carryovers. The most impressive characteristic of the LR3 is its beautiful blending of rugged power with a superior riding experience. Posh interior styling makes riders feel like they at home - even in the midst of the harshest terrain scenarios. The 2009 LR3 is as equally capable of effortlessly infiltrating bear country as it is at cruising the Vegas strip and commanding attention. There are 2 trims available for the Land Rover LR3 for 2009: the HSE and the HSE Lux.
Land Rover is continuing to champion British innovation and cutting-edge automotive engineering by unveiling seven new electric Defender models at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The research vehicle delivers zero emissions whilst retaining its tough, go-anywhere capability. 鈥淚nvesting in innovation has always been the lifeblood of our business and our engineering teams are working hard to develop innovative new technology to provide sustainable motoring solutions,鈥?said John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director. The standard diesel engine and gearbox in the 110 Defenders have been replaced by a 70kW (94bhp), 330Nm electric motor twinned with a 300-volt, lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 27kWh, giving a range of more than 50 miles. In typical, low speed off-road use it can last for up to eight hours before recharging. The battery can be fully charged by a 7kW fast charger in four hours, or a portable 3kW charger in 10 hours. The electric vehicles (EVs) retain the Defender鈥檚 legendary four-wheel drive system and differential lock.
1. It's giving drivers what they've shown they want. For most Americans what they want is: bigness. For years, the market has been trending towards vehicles like these, and also "crossover utility vehicles" such as the highly successful Subaru Crosstrek. By going all-in on the Focus Active, Ford is merely following market trends, and might give the Crosstrek some meaningful competition. 2. There's only one problem with SUVs, and Ford is solving it. I'll always remember how thrilled my husband was when he finally bought a Land Rover Discovery after dreaming about it for years. And how he sold it again a few months later because filling the tank was driving him toward insolvency. 3. It's betting big on electric. I didn't even know gas prices were going up until someone pointed it out to me. That's because I'm an electric car driver and I haven't put gas into a car since September.
The 3.2-liter, inline six-cylinder engine generates 230 horsepower and 234 lb.-ft. Eighty percent of maximum torque is available across the entire rev range. The more than two-ton vehicle car accelerates from 0-60 miles per hour in a reasonable 8.4 seconds. The LR2 uses a specially developed Japanese Aisin six-speed automatic. On it, you can select Auto, Sport, or CommandShift manual shift modes. Sport mode holds low gears longer and shifts down more readily than Auto. Official EPA fuel economy figures are 15 City and 22 Highway. I averaged 17.7 mpg on premium fuel. The EPA score for Air Pollution (7) is good; the Greenhouse Gases score of 3 is one of the lowest I've seen. I can't tell you why. Land Rover's Terrain Response System connects the engine, gearbox, center coupling and chassis systems to respond to the varying driving conditions. You can select one of four settings on the center console by deciphering the graphics that stand for General Driving, Grass/Gravel/Snow, Mud and Ruts, or Sand.
