2013 Land Rover LR2: New Engine and Upgrades - Car and Driver
If you truly need a vehicle that can conquer both the mall’s parking lot and the great outdoors, the LR2 is your ute. Powered by a 2. 0-liter turbo four-cylinder with a six-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, it’s very capable off-road. Official Photos and Info – 2013 Land Rover LR2 Land Rover’s slowest seller in the U. S. will get a small boost for the 2013 model year—literally. A turbocharged engine tops a list of upgrades coming to the LR2 compact crossover this fall. The same 2. 0-liter four-cylinder motor that motivates the Range Rover Evoque now will power the LR2 as well, replacing the latter’s 3. 2-liter inline-six. Between the weight savings and the relatively better efficiency of the newer, smaller engine, Land Rover expects the 2013 LR2 to better last year’s EPA ratings of 15 mpg in the city and 22 highway. The rest of the running gear, from the six-speed automatic transmission to the Haldex all-wheel-drive system, carries over from the old vehicle. Cosmetically, the LR2 gets a nice refresh. The new center stack houses a seven-inch touch screen, and a five-inch screen is wedged between conventional dials in the gauge cluster. Source: www.caranddriver.com
