Land Rover LR2

Price $44,950
Fuel consumption 9.1 – 14.1 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 77%(view ratings)
Once called the Freelander in Canada, but now it bears the name LR2. Yes, you guessed it, it’s Land Rover’s smallest model, which also makes it their entry-level vehicle. The LR2 may not have all the qualities of its bigger siblings, but with Haldex AWD, it’s very comfortable in off-road conditions. The only engine to equip this vehicle is a 3.2L inline-6 paired with a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
