2014 Land Rover LR2: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2014 Land Rover LR2 is largely a carryover, not a redesign. Its main change is a more responsive 7-inch capacitive touchscreen with QWERTY phonebook searching on every trim.
About the 2014 Land Rover LR2
Second-generation Freelander 2/LR2 (L359), late-cycle year and second-to-last U.S. model year; one year after the major 2013 update.
Land Rover positioned the LR2 as its compact entry SUV, combining everyday road comfort, a high seating view, luxury cabin features, and genuine bad-weather and trail ability. Its main distinction from car-based luxury crossovers was permanent off-road hardware: full-time AWD, driver-selectable Terrain Response, hill-descent systems, substantial ground clearance, and protected components for water crossings. It suited shoppers wanting a manageable five-seat SUV without giving up Land Rover’s all-weather and off-pavement character.
The base LR2 combines a 240-hp turbo engine and full-time AWD with leather seats, a panoramic roof, and Meridian audio. HSE adds xenon headlights, a guided rearview camera, and driver-seat memory, while HSE LUX emphasizes cabin comfort with Windsor leather and a 17-speaker Meridian surround-sound system.

4.1
2014 Land Rover LR2
(20 reviews)
“A little jerky for the engine in the first 2 gears, after getting to 3rd gear a smoother ride.”
“A vehicle this nice AND EXPENSIVE should have the remote locking system on the door so you never have to remove your key. My cheaper Nissan had it and It was one of the things that keeps me from enjoying my vehicle 100%. It should also have the vehicle avoidance system to avoid changing lanes on top of another vehicle.”
