2008 Land Rover LR2 Review
The good: The premium stereo in the 2008 Land Rover LR2 has very good audio quality and plays music from multiple sources. The navigation system uses an attractive interface while the car has all the off-road gear we expect in a Land Rover.
The bad: We had some issues with the stereo and cell phone interfaces, which are confined to a two-line radio display while there is a perfectly good LCD at the top of the stack.

cnet Reviewed the 2008 Land Rover LR2 and gave out”The LR2 shows many of the design cues of its bigger brothers. The roof of the cargo area lifts a little, similar to the LR3. Engine vents in the front fenders mimic that of the Range Rover. And the grille has a similar crosshatched metal look as the Range Rover’s.”

The center differential seems to act faster than a traditional viscous coupling. Open differentials are used front and rear, with brake-based traction control that apportions power left or right. As in the larger LR3, Land Rover’s Terrain Response is standard and allows the traction control, the stability control, and the anti-lock brakes to be tailored for different surfaces and situations.

caranddriver Reviewed the 2008 Land Rover LR2 and gave out”Underneath the unibody LR2 is a fully independent strut-type suspension with larger disc brakes at each corner. The LR2 we drove rode well, feeling more nimble and better controlled through turns than a Range Rover or LR3. Compared with a BMW X3’s, the LR2’s ride is softer and more comfortable.”
