One 4WD vehicle stands out amongst the lot and that is the Land Rover LR2.   This SUV was introduced in 2007 to replace the Freelander, which did not fare well with drivers.  It’s three years later and still doing great.

One feature that you may notice right away is the exterior styling of the LR2.  It’s is less boxy looking with softer curves, as compared to other Chicago used Land Rover models. On the same hand, it does have some of the styling features that are recognized with the LR brand. 

This 4WD has decent power and acceleration, and is made to go the places only Land Rovers do.   The LR2 has a 3.2L, 230 horsepower engine that overall does well.  This horsepower allows for pretty good highway acceleration.   Moreover, this SUV has a traction control system that allows for good handling.  On a rougher terrain this makes for a less jarring and a more comfortable ride.  If you are looking for a vehicle that ultimately withstands the rugged terrain, check out a new or used Range Rover Chicago. It will deliver a standard terrain response system, to help the vehicle operate in different conditions and terrains.

Also, the LR2 has a lot to offer inside.  It comes with two sunroofs, which is awesome!   It has a cozy feel and plenty of glass to provide lots of lighting to make it feel more open.  If you like the LR2, but want more room, check out a Used LR3 Chicago.  There is an option of having a 3rd row of seating at no extra cost!

Each model offered by Land Rover has it’s advantages and disadvantages.  Overall, it’s the only real contender if you’re looking for vehicle that can dazzle downtown and excel off-road.
