Land Rover’s keep getting better and better.  The 2010 Chicago Land Rover LR4 is no exception.  With a spiced up interior and improved on and off-road features, this is one great ride!

I decided visit my Chicago used Land Rover dealer and take it for a little spin.  Let me tell you, my test drive was a lot of fun!  To start with, the interior is a lot nicer than the LR3.  The inside has been reworked.  The 2010 model’s inside is very luxurious, but still feels “down to earth”.  I really like the sunroof that has 3 glass panels.  I love the feel of natural sunlight flooding it’s way into the Chicago Land Rover!

As we all know, Land Rover’s are big and powerful SUV’s, but they are still fast.  The 2010 LR4 has a V8, direct injection engine that is also found in Jaguar models (they are owned by the same company, in case you didn’t know that!).  The engine is capable of reaching 375 Horsepower and can go from 0 to 60 mph in just under 8 seconds.  Not bad, for a large SUV!  The 2010 Chicago Land Rover also comes with 6 speed auto transmission and four-wheel drive!

As far as driving on paved roads, the are some marked improvements.  Land Rover has upgraded the vehicle’s suspension and steering, two very important aspects to smooth driving.  With these systems being redone, the LR4 has more overall control when driving.  Great for on and off road adventures!

Moving to the oh-so fun off road capabilities, maybe saving the best for last!?!?  The Terrain Response System is a great tool.  It will prepare the SUV for rocks, snow, mud and sand, to name a few.  What it does is prepare the suspension, brakes and powertrain for the settings that work best on each of these elements.  For example, the brake power needed for snow driving is going to be different than mud driving. The Land Rover knows this and the system makes sure the vehicle is ready.  This makes a driver more confident and capable to handle the harshest of off-road driving!

Overall, the 2010 Chicago Land Rover model was a great drive!  I would highly recommend heading to your Chicago used Land Rover dealer as soon as possible and take this bad-boy for a ride!
