About the 2011 Land Rover LR4
Discovery 4 / LR4 (L319) generation, second U.S. model year under the LR4 name after the major 2010 update; 2011 is a light-update year rather than a redesign.
Land Rover positions the LR4 as a premium family SUV with genuine all-terrain ability, not just luxury styling. The core appeal is its mix of a commanding driving position, roomy upright cabin, flexible cargo-and-passenger space, and serious trail hardware like low-range four-wheel drive, Terrain Response, and air suspension. Against softer luxury crossovers, the LR4 stands out by pairing upscale materials and everyday comfort with towing strength and real off-road confidence.
For 2011, Land Rover positions the LR4 as an upscale, flexible SUV built for both paved roads and rough trails. It pairs a 375-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 with low-range four-wheel drive, a locking center differential, and height-adjustable air suspension. Leather-trimmed power front seats and a glass-heavy roof help give the cabin a roomy, well-equipped feel.
