I have previously owned a GMC Acadia, went down to a loaded Nissan Rogue to save on gas mileage, BAD DECISION. We just purchased the pre owned LR2 HSE and I am more than pleased. No, it is not as spacious as the Acadia, but drives like a pure luxury car. The gas mileage has been better than expected. In comparison to the price of the loaded Rogue we well overpaid for, this vehicle feels more stable and quiet frankly is worth every penny. I love the safety features and the ride. Land Rover made an affordable alternative for the Middle Class. Always check your options on a nice pre-owned vehicle you love before settling for a new vehicle you hope will grow on you.
I wanted to love it

2013 Land Rover LR2 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
15 of 15 people found this review helpful
Initially this small suv was amazing! it has a great feel while driving and decent handling. But after 3 years of ownership I cant wait to get rid of it. There is a reason most people lease Land Rovers, once they start having issues the shop bills are easily 5x more than you would see for a domestic vehicle. For the 2013 LR2 there is a class action lawsuit open due to the very poorly designed turbo charger. My turbo broke in december of 2020, the dealership of course quoted me at 8k. Further calling around town had a mechanic quote me at 6k to replace this part. THE OEM TURBO costs 4k.. I spent tons of time researching this and found a non -oem replacement for 330$ on amazon and after an additional parts pack that you can only get from the dealership (150$) I replaced the turbo myself in 15 hrs. This is a major concern over the durability of the vehicle and the cost of ownership if a major repair is needed. If someone were to ask 'should I get an LR2?' I would honestly tell them to look at a different option that will have a lesser price tag (CR-V, Rav4) and a better track record of dependability. I bought this vehicle for 15k 3 yrs ago, its probably worth 5k as it sits today. This was not a wise investment. I love the look of the vehicle, I like how it drives and the AWD 4WD are very nice. But overall I had a poorly chosen 'treat yo self' moment when I bought this because its a rover. I literally paid 8k more for the label of Land Rover when in fact this is a Ford Escape that just looks cooler. I will have the vehicle paid off this year, and at this point I might as well keep it until something major happens in another 2 yrs (knock on wood). The engine dummy light goes off periodically and sends me into a minor heart attack. Buyer beware, if you want a rover don't go for the lesser models and definitely lease. It is not worth the efforts and money to keep these on the road. I wont be in the market for any vehicles with turbos again thats for sure. Update: after a check engine light refused to go away I traded my LR2 in for a 4runner and couldnt be happier. I won't make the same mistake with owning a land rover again.

I'm rather stunned by some of the lame reviews I've read here. I've driven BMWs, Jaguars, etc., and my LR2 is by far the best vehicle I have owned for the value. If you're not obese you will be o.k. with the armrest. What the heck do people put inside a console anyway?? If your family does not resemble the Brady Bunch, you'll be just fine with cargo space, and with space in general. The SUV is well built, rides smoothly and comes with tons of features for which you'll have to pop extra bucks on RX350s, X3s or X5s, ML 350s or GLK350s. Trust me, it is a beautiful machine that looks no where near what everybody drives. My SUV is fully loaded and I paid less than $28,000.

I've had it for 2 months and love this suv. It was a loaner car w/1200 miles so I got it very cheap, just under $26K. Great size, smooth quiet ride. Mileage isn't what I'd like, about 15 local, close to 25 hwy. Not as good as my Jetta, but better than my Tahoe.
better postioned than the Freelander

Having previously owned an Lr3 and Freelander, the Lr2 sits comfortably as the entry Land Rover. Off road/Snow capabilities are very strong, and extended driving stretches of 8 plus hours with a family of four are certainly comfortable. Great driver visibility all around. Sun roof in front/moon roof in back make the cabin feel airy and spacious. Armrests are comfortable enough, but lack the plushness of the Lr3. Adequate storage space in back, good sound system, great warranty. Would recommend for those looking for a compact SUV with better than average snow/off road capabilities.
Great little car, already miss it

Update....sold our little 2011 LR2 in June 2020. Bought a 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport. Owned the LR2 6 years and would do it again. We normally only keep our cars 3-5 years. We buy the nicest used car we can find, drive them a few years, then sell them. So it's saying something when we keep it 6 years. Only let us down twice. Once for a battery, then a starter. It was the original one, so 9 years and 125,000 miles isn't bad. I recommend them

I purchased my LR2 immediately prior to one of the most punishing winters in New England history and put 13,900 miles on it in a year of driving (mixed town/highway use as a daily driver). The all-wheel drive system of this SUV is unmatched by any other SUV in the compact market. When forced to drive in several of the blizzards with 1-2 feet of snow, I simply placed the vehicle into snow mode and had no issues driving on untreated roadways. The climate controls are all control dials, which made it easy to adjust while driving. The voice-activated navigation, heated steering wheel/seats were also incredible. The 4 cylinder turbo engine moves the vehicle, giving it a sporty and fun driving experience when paired with the nimble nature of the steering system. Another cool feature for cold weather drivers is the heated windshield. Land Rover wove miniature wires through the windshield that heats the entire thing when activated (which prevents just a small section defogging and instead rapidly dissipates condensation and ice development). The negatives to the vehicle are its compact cabin (but it is a compact SUV and I am 6' tall), the presence of turbo lag when accelerating, the poor fuel economy when compared to other vehicles in this segment, the lack of a power liftgate (which has now become standard among LR2's competitors), and the small amount of legroom for rear passengers (once again; its a compact SUV). In the 13,900 miles that I drove the vehicle I experienced 2 mechanical issues. The first issue was a "low coolant" message that occurred when it was -20 degrees out. The vehicle did not have low coolant however, and the message disappeared after running the engine briefly. The second issue was a "service required" message that came on after bringing the vehicle in for its first annual service. I had to bring the light to the dealership three times to stop the message from appearing. All of this was covered under vehicle warranty, however it was an annoyance and the service experience was not what I would have expected from a luxury car brand. All said, this vehicle is incredible if you need to have the confidence to get through anything that nature throws at you (While keeping you extremely comfortable). If you're willing to compromise on that ability, other SUV's offer more technologically advanced features and much better fuel economy ratings.

I've had this vehicle since May of 2011. Loved it until August of 2015 when electronic problems started. 1st the fuel gauge/range display would fluctuate from accurate to immediately dropping to E/0 miles of range, then go back and forth. When check engine light came on, time to get service. Only dealer could do the work and at about $3000. Two months later, seat belt and airbag warning light come on, back to dealer. Diagnosis: faulty sensor in seat, seat needs to be replaced at cost of $1600. Totally unacceptable, I'm looking to sell and get something more reliable.

The LR2 was my first choice because of the styling taken from it's big brother, the Range Rover sport. Thank goodness I rented before I took the plunge (I backed out). The LR2 is under powered and presents a problem when passing on the highway. The body roll is significant, and if you had to swerve to miss and object in the road , it could get dicey. The off-road capability is robust and it does about 90% of what it's larger counter-part can do, so, no complaints there. The seats are small, and hard as a board. The seating position is high and upright. The interior is small, without much cargo space. So forget bringing your buddies and their gear on an outing. The interior is pretty basic.
Great hidden gem.

I have a 2013 lr2 which I bought used and its been an absolute delight to drive. Its tough in the snow and handles it with ease an expertise, easily navigating the accumulated feet of snow and ice collected on our streets here in Buffalo NY. It's got great pick up and can be described as peppy as the engine picks up pretty quickly with pretty good acceleration and passing speed. Everyone who gets inside of it is impressed by its understated class and prestige and its commanding presence. The seats are more similar to the cockpit of an airplane as you sit straight up with armrests that are similar to a planes with great visibility if the road from all windows. Despite its off road credentials, its a really smooth ride. The Bluetooth works great and its awesome not having to fool around with an aux chord. As soon as I get into the truck, it syncs and plays all of my downloaded music. It has heated seats and a heated steering wheel as well as a winter mode which automatically raises your wipers off the ceiling to avoid freezing to the windshield . For someone who doesn't want to dump the cash into a range rover, has a small family and doesn't need the 3rd row seating of the lr4 and if you don't like the newer rounded style that land rover is adopting in contrast to the classic classy boxy lines still possessed by these, then it might be a great choice. Not sure why they never caught on in the US but now as an owner, I believe it's our countries loss.

I love my Land Rover. I have heard stories of the maintenance costs and suspension having issues but mine has 125,000 miles now and I haven't repaired anything other than your standard use items (brakes/rotors, tires). The ride is not luxurious but let's be real, a Land Rover is made to go off road. If you want a nice highway car don't get a Land Rover. On the other hand, my Land Rover eats 8" snow fall for breakfast and says "Thank you, may I have another".

LR2 replacement is either Defender or new LC

I bought a brand new 2015 LR2 HSE with lots of extras (navigation, roof rack, tow hitch). Great car with truly unique looks. Have gone on long trips (500+ miles), no problems in cold, ice, snow, the occasional pothole and/or curb, etc. Load up with surfboard and/or bikes, drives fine. It's a high sitting SUV so no quick turning. Handles very well in small parking lots. It's a smallish SUV when you sit inside. Every time I pack it up, I think the luggage won't fit, but somehow it does. If you have more than 3 in the car, it's small. Would have upgraded to LR4 in a few years, but LR stopped production. Tried the new Discovery Sport - a glorified Honda CR-V - not off road prepared for long term abuse. The replacement models for LR2 and LR4 are street SUVs, so they have given up the dependable indestructible SUV part of the market they had with old LR models. Very happy with LR2. Probably be a collector's item, as it's all steel framed, and has traditional spring LR suspension. The new Discovery Sport is a sedan, like a Subaru Forrester. I've driven the Discovery Sport, RR Evoke, and RR Velar as loaner cars; I would never buy any of them. Nothing unique; nothing special; nothing rugged about them. If you get a chance to buy an LR2, they are fun to drive, reasonably dependable, and surprisingly good in congested areas. The caveat is that they don't tow much weight, and if you travel with a full car of people & luggage, it's not a good pick because it's a small SUV. With snow, absolutely NO quick turning. It has the traditional high front seats - great vision for the driver. The replacement models went with "cockpit" seating, which again is OK if you wanted it, but a "cockpit" has absolutely nothing, zero, zip to do with what most LR buyers are looking for. Here again, LR just dropped one of it's key signature features to replace it with a run of the mill everyone is doing it type of styling for the driver. Yuk. UPDATE: it's now over 50k miles. still going great & drives very smoothly. I've had no major mechanical issues. small stuff, for sure, but the engine and basic parts are still working. I have had the RR Evoke, the Discovery Sport, and the RR Velar as loaners. All are inferior in one way or another to the basic & outdated LR2. The Evoke is a Mini Cooper (clown car), the Discovery Sport seemed a bit "tinny" and the Velar is a squished top sedan. Nobody would buy a Velar if they could buy a RR Sport, and nobody would buy an Evoke if they could afford any other car LR made, as it's the bottom of the barrel. I am hopeful that when the LR2 needs to be replaced in a few years, I can switch to the new Defender. The boxy shape and solid construction are not present in the models I've tried at LR so far. I'd want a Defender to be purposeful, useful, and practical (who cares about stylish and refined). Example: if you get a flat tire on a trip to go skiing, you're going to need to change your tire, right? If you drive those RR sedans, you'll be getting the spare tire that's located under the vehicle, totally unprotected, exposed to the road hazards, plus it's really cold out - enjoy! Me? In my LR2 I just open the trunk and there's my spare tire, safe, protected, dry, and easily accessible with all the tools. That was a really smart decision decision that was amazingly practical. Putting the spare out in the cold underneath is standard procedure, but it's inferior to the LR2 design. I've had 3 flat tires so far, so I have benefited from that design decision. UPDATE 3: 90k miles. I've replaced the turbo, biggest replacement yet, and now I have better MPG?! it still drives wonderfully, and I've replaced no suspension parts even though I drive over lots of stuff & have hit lots of potholes. It was well built, for sure. The tires seem to wear out quickly, maybe because of the high elevation, but I don't care - it drives well. the TMPS is a poorly designed part on all modern cars, and that takes attention to make sure it's working correctly. Looking to upgrade, the ND is excellent on the inside, but it's a RR on the outside, so I'm not likely to go for that. I'll look at the new LC or GX. It's a shame LR doesn't want to make off road ready SUVs, but all those widgets they manufacture (Velar, Evoke, and Diso Sport) are small. the ND is a good size, but fitting it with a glass roof, 19" rims (at best) and no room in the wheel arch, JLR is pretty much making ND a mall crawler. there's also been some problems with software stopping the ND from operating, which my LR2 has never had (because it has the mechanical stuff and the computer stuff, but they keep it separate so the computer doesn't shut off the engine because of some malfunction or software error.) The LC seems most likely to be where LR2 and LR4 folks go, as the LC will be for extended use as an adventure type suv, whereas most of the current models JLR is selling don't seem to be ready for the great outdoors the same way my LR2 was. It's a shame because surely JLR could make an off road ready Defender. They just don't seem to want to do that, however, so GX Over Trail may be where folks that want a luxury adventure SUV for family trips need to shop.

Not long after we got our LR2, we took a long road trip from Missouri to Nova Scotia(Canada). No problems to report here and that was about 3k miles of road. Our second road trip took us from Missouri to the west coast Seattle, Washington area and up to Vancouver, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Canada. Coming back to the US through North Dakota and back to Missouri - the trip took 5600 miles! No problems to report whatsoever. This SUV can accelerate when needed even with full-cargo in the back and four occupants; eg, coming out from a Rest Area and into traffic. The braking is excellent. I really enjoy this car's performance; when it's 100F outside and you have the AC on at full blast, I don't see/feel any noticeable engine performance degradation or lag...the car just go. Reliable SUV from personal experience.

I have had my LR2 for a few days now and drove it from New Jersey to Florida and me and my wife are very happy. I have owned 8 cars in the past 10 years and this one is nice! I bought the car with 2000 miles on it and put about 1000 on it during our drive down. Don't listen to all the BS people put on here about how bad it is. Go Google the number one reliable car "Honda accord" and add problems into the search and you will see bad stuff. All cars have problems. The Landrover line of cars are nice and built solid. All newer cars have electrical issues and if you don't like it then purchase an antique car.

This my first car I bought after completing school -- It has great off road capabilities, drives amazing on the free way -- The costs I have incurred are regular maintenance like oil change, air filter changes and coolant change. This maybe smaller SUV than other land rovers -- but it has all terrain modes that expensive models offer. The only con I can think of is that even though it has Bluetooth - it does not allow to play music from your phone, it can only be used for making calls.

I have 2009 LR2 HSE for which I paid $40K. The leather started to crack in the first year. Color of the front grill and side light covers faded and chipped because of sun, the doors cannot be locked with remote key, .I had to replace rear differential and bunch of other stuff (cost me about $10K) which i have not had to do with my 21 year old Toyota 4Runner. Do not buy or recommend this car please.

I live in Western Australia and our CRD LR2 has just come back from 2000 miles in the outback towing a two ton caravan! This vehicle is just awesome and towed brilliantly along with going truely off road through deep soft sand, over rocks and never missed a beat. Aside from a small steering rack issue that was fixed when it was a few weeks old the car has been perfect and my wife went from sceptic to Landrover fan!

This car is just plain fun to drive. It is great on the highway and very capable off road. I have driven in mud, deep snow and dirt roads. It may look like a Lexus but the LR2 can really go off road. After 6000 miles no problems. Seems to be put together very well.

Thus far, I’ve been impressed with the drivablity of the little car. The only issue has been with a key fob not registering to the car (even with a new battery) and the availability of service in Omaha with the local dealer. Leadtimes for service appointments are running five weeks. If new car buyers knew that the service deptartment was this far under water, i have to believe Lexus would take all of their busineess.

A great car and great value for your money. So far I had no issues, the car feels well build and I love to drive it. For an SUV you can drive it very sporty (has enough power)without feeling uncomfortable or unsafe. The stereo system (Alpine Dolby Surround)is fantastic, bluetooth connects right away to any of my phones (con: could be louder). Navigation is terrific but the updates are very pricey. The breaks are great (I have the 19" wheels) and the engine sounds awesome, Fuel economy is great on average 14-16 mpg city, 23-26 mpg highway (what do you expect it is an SUV). In summary it is a great all- round vehicle, which puts Land Rover back on the map

This has been easily the worst car I have ever owned,! I bought used and it's been nothing but a financial drain. I have only owned the LR2 for 3 months and so far I've spent just over 5k in repairs. We took it to The Land Rover dealership to get the AC fixed and they said they couldn't do it. You know what they could do? They found 4,600 dollars in other non AC related issues. We figured we could find a local mechanic that would charge less so we went to pick it up. Tried to start the car and it wouldn't turn on. Land Rover dealership said they needed another $800 for a new starter. these cars are more work than they are worth and it's extremely hard to find someone willing to work on them. I think people are attracted to the name Land Rover and they shouldn't be. 100% overrated!!!!

This is a fun car to drive and is amazingly capable. It is truly a 4X4 and is not just a car with an all wheel drive attached. It handles like a sports car around town and a jeep off road. I have been driving 4X4s at work for near 35 years and can't believe how this rig takes all the drama out of muddy roads. This is a real 4X4 and Land Rover stuffed in about every technical option available somewhere into this high quality rig. No problems so far.

I have just bought this vehicle while away on vacation. I drove it home 525 miles and it was a joy. Gas mileage was 24.8 - 25 mpg while doing 75mph. Everything works as described. I purchased vehicle with the technology and the cold climate packages. I must have bought at the right time because I got $10,000 off the sticker which put the price right at $30,800.

The LR2 is the best choice in it's class period! The stylish and rugged look is what the land rover is about. The interior works for this vehicle and is easy to control. There is more then enough room in the back and excellent head room compared to any of the other vehicles that we looked at. It's a land rover, its unique and it's should be on your list of SUV's.

Great car until you you need to buy parts. A cracked windshield 3 month back order. Front bumper 6 weeks minimum. Accesories out of sight. 1600 for a tow package, 1000 for roof racks. Already had a fuel pump leak 2 months after buying it. It cost 41,700 I tried to trade it 3 months later and the best i could do is 30,000 and that was at the dealer I bought it from, Before it had a scratch on it. So much for resale value. Drives great good gas milage for an AWD great stereo but will never buy another Landrover at any price
Very Nice for the price

IT is a very nice car if you are looking for smaller SUV. there are lots of competition from Medz, Lex, BMW, Volvo, Acura ect. But the price is very fair for what you get. It is more like a truck than the other car- based. But still rides nice. Eventhough it is the lowest end Land Rover, it has the look and feel of the more e xpensive one, like the Sport.
new LR2 experience so far

My new LR2 has 230 miles on it.I knew the day after I purchased it that it was ergonomically all wrong for me. The arm rest is very thin and cuts the circulation no matter what height or arm position. If you put the arm rest up there is no where to put your arm. What is worse is that in the up position, the metal adjustment screw, (about 2" x 3")sits inches from the right temple area of your head. Scary. The seat positions are limited, inability to angle front of drivers seat cuts leg circulation. It rattles alot and "ka-thunks" in several areas, over every little bump. I sure hope it has good off road ability to make up for the lack of comfort and road noise.
I love my car!

I recently purchase a 2009 LR2. I was impressed at what the car was able to do off road. I also understand that the same characteristics that make it a superior off road vehicle will relate to on road performance and safety. The LR2 has power leather seats, two sunroofs and a very nice sound system. It was a wonderful buying experience.

I have a 2009 LR2. I was initially hesitant to buy it because I have owned a County and an older defender in the past. The County was an absolute BEAST. I used to jokingly say, it could easily win a tractor pull. Provided it didn't break down on the way to the tractor pull. Mechanically it was good. Electrically, it was an unmitigated disaster. Gas guzzling, (if you need to ask, you can't afford it) plush leather and loaded with features tank, for it's time. So, the good; power, gobs and gobs of power and torque. Comfortable and spacious. I could stuff it with my climbing gear and 2 other guys climbing gear. The defender. Oh the the "so ugly and simple it's beautiful, defender." I had virtually no issues whatsoever with my older defender. It was an early 80s. Electrically, well, it was wired like a flashlight, so it didn't have any electrical problems whatsoever when I owned it. There's just nothing to them to go wrong. Mechanically, also fantastic. Simple, reliable diesel that has virtually no issues. The bad, there's just nothing to them. I mean, NOTHING. it has power steering! Thank the gods for that. But that was the only comfort amenity it had. The "air conditioning" was 2 flaps you could open under the wind shield. The heat was ok, but not quite enough. On the road, calling it anemic at best is a glowing recommendation. It struggled to keep up with regular traffic speeds. Heh, I get it, not what's it's DNA was intended to do. I had a suspension lift and 33"s on it, which didn't help it's on road performance at all. It was noisy at highway speeds and at times a bit scary in aggressive traffic. Now, the LR2. I've been extraordinarily impressed with this beast from the first time I drove it. I was hesitant to buy given my previous experiences with LR/RR products. Not so with the LR2. I have a mid level 1. It's comfortable, plenty of power for me ( I do understand what people are saying that it struggles at higher speeds on the highway. I love the A post speakers, something which most other luxury brands don't have. The mileage, not so great. I think 16 mpg is somewhat hopeful. Mine gets about 8 mpg. It's thirsty. Yes you can run 89 in it. But the mileage and power are affected. Trade off I suppose? My experience with all LR/RR products regarding off road abilities, is in 1 word. Astounding. I have offroad and rock crawling experience. Admittedly not with rovers. Comparatively speaking however. They never cease to amaze me. The newer ones, very much are still off rosders disguised as mall crawlers. With a standard factory set up, and not very aggressive tires, my LR2 is an absolute billy goat. I recently was driving it thru @ 1" of snow on unplowed roads in the first special program position. It had NO TROUBLE getting me around. The bad. This might be just me but the fob and the locks DRIVE ME CRAZY. the fob works fine, usually. I do on occasion have to disassemble the darn thing in parking lots to kind of push the battery around, and then it will work. Maybe that's just me? I understand other people saying it's anemic at higher speeds on the roads. I don't really speed, I am a very patient and careful driver, so I don't mind. Last couple things I promise. I love it so much I am in the process of looking around the country for another one with lower mileage on it because I wanna keep it for a while. I LOVE the 3.2 liter and how it "growls". It doesn't roar like a supercharged Benz, but it has a badass growl and I love it. I have something of an inside track with access to luxury vehicles. I get to drive many. I have even driven the newer range rovers in the snow and mud. Again, astounding! Despite being a mall crawlers, it handled mud and snow with the greatest of easy that many other brands could not. That's been the 1 consistent underlying theme of all their products in my op. They are more than capable offroad for 95% of us. Please please please. Don't ever change that Land Rover! Oh, 1 last thing. I can't scroll back up to insert this point where it belongs. My inside track knowledge has informed me that many of these motors are actually made by volvo. Which could explain the reliability I have with mine. Also in the bad. I cannot emphasize enough, the need for REGULAR maintenance. They all burn oil. Whether brand new or not. I guess it's a trade off for more power with a smaller engine? IDK? I can't wait to buy another one. I hope I can find another 3.2 liter and not be "stuck with" buying a 2.0.

I have enjoyed my 2011 Land Rover LR2 Hse It rides beautifully on hwy and is a beast offroad. I like that it is a minority in my area. There are others, and always looked at favorably by drivers of other brands. I do notice they are becoming more prevalent in my southern USA community. Its like a movie people flock to yet critics blast. Not sure why. Ive had only power steering pump replaced otherwise no issues.

I drove a 2008 LR2 for 100,000 miles, then traded for a used 2013 with around 15,000 miles. Batteries, belts, oil, tires, and one power steering pump. The 2013 is now at 96,000 miles. Long drives, short commutes, Montana snow, Arizona heat, and driving off-road to avoid a crash and two mile backup: NEVER failed me. Putting off trading it, and will likely give/sell to one of my grown kids when I secure another working vehicle this year. It’s ‘too truck-like’, according to a review some years ago. So, buy a CAR. Looks have aged well. Mileage is mediocre. Stability in Idaho and Utah snowstorms was reassuring. I don’t care for the newer models, and I don’t need the mass of a Range Rover. Would buy a very low mileage ‘15 in a heartbeat.
