Irvine, Calif. - Land Rover's all-new LR2 made its world debut at the British International Motor Show at ExCeL in London's Docklands. The vehicle was displayed on the Land Rover show stand alongside a 2007 Range Rover, a 2006 Range Rover Sport and a 2006 LR3.

The LR2 is new from the ground up, with outstanding on-road performance as well as the class-leading off-road ability expected of a true Land Rover. A dynamic design, purposeful stance, smart and spacious interior and an abundance of advanced technologies complete the package.

Technical highlights of the LR2 include:

 

 

 

  • New 3.2-liter i6 engine produces 230bhp and delivers a strong combination of performance refinement and fuel economy

  • All-new permanent all-wheel-drive system that helps optimize traction and fuel economy

  • Land Rover's unique Terrain Response™ system - for easier off-road driving - heads a long list of advanced technologies, many new to the class

For the 2007 model year, the Range Rover boasts two powerful V8 engines - a supercharged 400bph and a naturally aspirated 305bhp. Added technologies include Land Rover's acclaimed Terrain Response™ system, electronic parking brake and electronic rear 'e' differential. The improved cabin also gains extra stowage, an updated airbag layout, enhanced finishes and substantially improved air conditioning and ventilation.

"We are delighted to be supporting the British International Motor Show here in London with two product debuts - it is our home show and is very important to our business," said Phil Popham, managing director, Land Rover. "The first of these products, an updated Range Rover, comes with a V8 engine which has a balance of performance, refinement and economy that is unmatched - it makes this vehicle even more desirable."

"The LR2 sets new standards in the sector, combining the advantages of a premium car with the attributes of a robust 4x4. We believe that no other premium compact 4x4 gets closer to blending these best-of-both-worlds abilities."

The Range Rover for 2007 hits Land Rover showrooms in October and the LR2 follows in the spring of 2007.
