2012 Land Rover LR4 - Cars.com News (blog)

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. If the idea of luxury in an off-road vehicle puzzles, the Land Rover LR4 will confound. Mingling mud and premium leather is core to Land Rover's identity, and the five- or seven-seat LR4 aims to toe the line between off-road excellence and on-road luxury. Though the 2012 Land Rover LR4 is a powerful, capable people-mover with a posh cabin, there are competitors that offer a more refined and comfortable on-road experience. Chances are, though, that most LR4s are destined to spend much more time in heated garages than on trails.

Model year 2012 marks the LR4's third year on the market since upgrades precipitated a name change from LR3 to LR4 for 2010.
