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)

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.
