About the 2011 Land Rover LR2
Freelander 2 / LR2 (L359) generation, light refresh year in the middle of the U.S. model’s 2008-2015 run.
Land Rover positioned the LR2 as the smallest and most nimble vehicle in its SUV range, aimed at shoppers who wanted real bad-weather and light-trail capability without stepping up to a larger LR4 or Range Rover. Its appeal was the blend of compact size, standard all-wheel drive and Terrain Response, plus a more upscale cabin with leather seating, a panoramic roof, and everyday comfort features that most small premium crossovers paired with less trail ability.
The 2011 LR2 is a compact upscale SUV with genuine all-weather and trail-focused hardware. The sole Base trim pairs standard all-wheel drive and Terrain Response with leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors, and push-button start.
