Again, all of that easy stuff that LR2 went through a Jeep Grand Cherokee easily could. Unless you also consider the LR2 a "shit big SUV", then the Grand Cherokee is not big because it's pretty much the same size as the LR2. Land Rovers do have more technology (or so I would hope for something with such a price tag), but side by side, a Grand Cherokee could do just about everything the LR2 does. And before you say it, no, I'm not a stupid Mopar fan, I think a lot of Chrysler products are shitty.

I know. Rock crawlers typically have WAY more power than your average SUV, though. If they had traction control, they wouldn't be able to use that power to their advantage and would get stuck a lot more easily. The more weight, the more friction. The more friction, the LESS the likelihood of slippage. It's the low sidewall road tires that increase the chance of slipping so much. Both TC and SC slow down cars on the track. With TC, you don't get full power, and therefore don't accelerate quickly.

Racineer commented on 18 Feb 2009

How would they know the demand if they've never been sold in such locations? They've never been sold in those locations because no one in those locations could afford such vehicles, so why waste the time and money setting up dealers and distributors in those locations if it'd all be for a loss? Toyota is the only manufacturer willing to sell their vehicles so cheap in those locations. Again, if you'd get your head out of the sand, you'd find Defenders aplenty in the same places as Land Cruisers.

Racineer commented on 20 Feb 2009

I'm sure it does, but it's not needed on a real off-road vehicle. You don't see rock-crawlers or such using electronic traction control systems. Sure, tires can lose traction, and they can with traction control, as well. With proper tires, this is much less likely to occur. The only purpose of traction control is to aide those who don't know how to properly modulate throttle on their own. It makes as much sense as saying sports cars are better with TC. Any track driver knows it just restricts.

Racineer commented on 21 Feb 2009

I know rock crawlers don't, so I interpreted it that way (not traction control). On the track, again, both slow down cars, probably traction control the most. When you're trying to come out of a corner and give it more throttle than what the TC deems "safe" for street driving, the power and acceleration is going to be greatly restricted. No track driver will tell you it's better to use either systems on the track. That's why it's such a big deal to be able to turn them off on sporty cars.

Racineer commented on 18 Feb 2009

It's funny how you try to use that "used all over the world" shit when Jeeps, Range Rovers, and GM trucks and SUVs aren't even sold in many places. Tell you what, go look at what people from the Arabian Peninsula choose to drive. All four of these vehicles are sold there and you'll find it's a pretty even spread of all of them. BTW, Defenders are just as common as Land Cruisers in desolate locations where other brands/models of SUVs aren't sold.

Too true. It really is a shame that a country with such a wide variety of terrain and vast amounts of rural countryside cannot build more suv's that perform well in the dirt. You could always have an old Jeep Cherokee (NOT Grand Cherokee) or Wrangler but neither are comfortable in any sense of the word. I have fallen in love with Land Rovers because they are extremely capable, comfortable to drive in any environment, and drop dead gorgous.

I own a LR2 and I must say after owning 4 other Land Rover... LWB, COuntry, and Disco. LR2 is good mid/compact SUV and can do lot more than most Jeep. I live on dirt road with hill up to 22 to 25% grade and when snow hit I'm only one get out. My next door as a Grand Cherokee, it fail in the snow badly. I use to own 4 other jeep in the past only good one is Cherokee and Sport... But Audi makes best AWD system in the world. Foxler

rangerover06sc commented on 21 Feb 2009

the purpose of tc is to make sure that both wheels are spining at around the rate,and the main reason most rock crawlers do use electronic based systems,is because they work better without them,big heavy suvs work better with them because theres more power to control,and weight increaces the chances of slipping,witch is why traction control helps,plus its no the that slows down on the track,its the esp

EuroSport2006 commented on 17 Apr 2008

Yeah. Go ahead and show me a Jeep that can do that. Jeep has lost its touch, its lost its good go anywhere cars and now is replacing them with shit big SUV's and lower-grade technology. Your paying more, because your getting more. The LandRover will beat a Jeep in off-road or on track, safety, bracking, and speciall technology. Jeep was GOOD now its junk modern crap.

Racineer commented on 18 Feb 2009

Exactly. Land Rovers just aren't what they used to be. There hasn't been one truly built to take on the off-road since the Defender (I'd kill for one of those) and first generation Range Rover. The Discovery was okay, but now even that has been replaced with the more street-friendly LR3.

EuroSport2006 commented on 25 Mar 2008

Haha, top gear went offroading in the Escalade and the suspension ripped out. Plus, the idea of offroading that you want to come back, not get stuck cause you ran out of fuel. Theres not 1% of the technology in the whole tahoe that there is in the Land Rover's suspesion.

Racineer commented on 16 Apr 2008

An Escalade is definitely not equivalant to a Tahoe. It's more like an on-road luxury SUV like your favorite Range Rover. The abilities demonstrated by the little LR2 aren't any better than a mere Grand Cherokee can perform. You're just paying for a brand...

rangerover06sc commented on 20 Feb 2009

the lr2 is the only land rover that dosen't have a rear locking diff.And on hard rock sufaces the tc offers better traction,just because the weels are locked together,dosen't mean the weels don't lose traction,land rover has become smarter about off roading

Jeff Daugherty commented on 19 Oct 2009

Where is this in Santa Barbara?!? My wife and I took our LR2, with LR Santa Barbara, to Pleasant Valley park (I think). We found that it is a highly capable off road vehicle. Limited ONLY in tire diameter and ground clearance. It REALLY surprised me...

fearaffect commented on 09 Mar 2008

This is the press release of the LR2. Writers and other press people are behind the wheels. They're well known for being idiots and could even get a Hummer or Land Rover Defender series stuck! Thus the easy course for them on this video.

712vids commented on 02 Nov 2010

@DroidNoid is that right? because the most popular suvs i know of are expeditions and tahoes. both of which run great for alot longer than 4 years. my family owned an expedition for 7 years and 170k miles, not one problem with it.

peterFans commented on 29 Apr 2010

manwitabrain: definition of offroad u are trying to say? by popular definition offroad is refer to road with no asphalt underlaying.... so definitely, rand rover is a offroad vehicle, and it's proven us since world war one!

Racineer commented on 19 Feb 2009

But they're just not as built for going off-road as they used to be, again, like the Defender and first gen Range Rover. I'd feel much more confident taking one of those off-road rather than the newer, luxed-up models.

You can't compare this to a Ford Escape... Land Rovers are the best vehicles off road with proper capability, all other brands compromise in some way (Land Cruiser aside). When I have to tackle mud or snow I'd want one of these.

mjm2005 commented on 27 Sep 2007

Yah, you two are right...no rock setting. Oopsss. LR3, Range, and Sport all do though. Wonder why they got rid of it? Cost? Most likely. I just thought having one system for all cars would've been cheaper. But whatever.

morava1 commented on 11 Oct 2008

mate any car can go through those small puddles. test it on the snow or mountains to see if its a capable 4wd. i love the lada niva. so simple, cheap and effective no bullsit electronics that could break down.

bmw69man1 commented on 07 May 2008

a few of you are wrong. It is NOT built on the Ford Escape platform, it's built on the Volvo S80 with the Volvo XC90 engine. FORD DOESN'T OWN LAND ROVER NOW!

Young Fendi commented on 21 Apr 2008

I have a 2008 LR2...you should see it in the mountains with 7 feet of snow...You dont even feel like its a small SUV...It claws the road like a Mother F*ck*r

neliomc1 commented on 18 Oct 2009

best light suv by far,good looking well built and very off road capable,a truly well put together car,quality at a decent price...go landrover!!

plasticboob commented on 25 Jun 2007

The vid itself is not bad (great music choice!), but the vehicle itself is just another example of a "Jack of all trades but master of none"

wingzerothree commented on 22 Jun 2007

gay. i gaurantee you will never see one of those offroad, the video should have been in a mall setting showing its parking capabilities.

alex0904 commented on 27 Sep 2007

it is because the car does not have the air-ride or suspension or however it is called... the others do...

alex0904 commented on 09 Oct 2007

all Range LM (since 2002) do have air suspension, as far as i know even the older ones do have it.

boon4376 commented on 20 Nov 2008

the fact that there was a lincoln navigator doing the same thing shows how worthless this test is.

mjm2005 commented on 07 Oct 2007

Ahh ok thanks... When did the air suspension start on the range about...like does an 04 have it?

boon4376 commented on 20 Nov 2008

i KNOW, why does everyone think this!?! Its not related to ANY ford SUV, at all.

rangerover06sc commented on 15 Apr 2008

yes this cost twice as much as a ford escape but is build on the same platform

guapo_carter commented on 07 Jul 2010

you got lucky... you went downhill too fast... wtf newbies.

I think that this is just a Ford Escape with more bells and whistles and different logo. I mean, it looks just like a Ford Escape. For 40,000 dollars, i think that its not worth it. Land Rover reliability is bad too.

VikingAmcar commented on 20 Nov 2008

The LR2 is probably better on the road, but not off, it even lacks low range! still, its better than most other softroaders. And i would say the H2 competes more to the discovery than the Range Rover.

32silvercoins commented on 16 May 2008

All Hummer fans should see this. For the same money as a H2, You could have this. The LR2 is better in the dirt and more comfortable in the city and its also much better looking

capybaras commented on 01 Apr 2009

You should care. It only take a few seconds to look up the fact that it is not a Ford Escape at all. In fact it probably takes less time than it did you you to reply.

RejectedRoadKill commented on 12 Nov 2008

Ummm... ?? I don't care. I'm stating my opinion that this is just a bunch of badge engineering from Ford. As Ford is the owner of Land Rover.

32silvercoins commented on 20 Nov 2008

In America the Disco is called the LR3, And your probly right. The LR2 isnt a great off roader but its alot better then many 4x4 Suvs

coolerdude44 commented on 01 Jan 2010

@RejectedRoadKill this car has absolutely nothing to do with the ford escape. if it did, i'd be owning an escape today =]

32silvercoins commented on 22 Jul 2008

The LR2 will beat any Hummer in the dirt or on the roads, Id rather spend the extra 15K and get a R/R over a H2

32silvercoins commented on 21 Jul 2008

The LR2 competes agaisnt the H2 and H3, the Range Rover is way more expensive then the H2

94gtvert commented on 23 Oct 2008

Do you research before posting stupid shit. My LR2 is identical to the one in this video.
