Land Rover LR2 Performance Overview
Compact crossover performance for the LR2 is represented here by a single U.S.-market year, with 3 verified tests spanning 2008 to 2008. In that brief production snapshot, the model used a 230-hp naturally aspirated gasoline inline-six throughout, so its performance story is less about generational change than trim-level variation within one setup. Across those three tests, 0-60 times ranged from 9.2 seconds in the 2008 SE to the 8.8-second run recorded by the 2008 HSE, with an average of 9.0 seconds.
Because the data covers only 2008, the LR2's main performance milestone arrives immediately: the 2008 HSE set the model's quickest benchmark at 8.8 seconds to 60 mph and also posted the best quarter-mile result, a 16.7-second pass at 83.2 mph. Other tested versions remained close to that pace, and the overall average quarter-mile settled at 16.83 seconds at 82.9 mph. As documented today, the LR2 stands as a short-run, gasoline-only entry with one engine output level and a narrow but clearly measured performance band anchored by the HSE's quickest figures.
