2011 Land Rover LR2


The most obvious LR2 change is seen in its restyled front fascia which has been revamped to be more in line with its bigger, LR4 kin. A new twin-element Bright Finish expanded-mesh grille insert is flanked by new halogen headlamps and bolder foglamp bezels. Side sills, the rear fascia cover and various other body bits have gone from black to body color for 2011, and out back, the LR2's taillamps get a more distinctive appearance thanks to clear inner lens elements bordered by a black surround. In addition to new alloy wheels -- 18-inch standard or optional 19-inch -- the LR2's exterior color palette has been expanded to include Kosrae Green, Baltic Blue and Fuji White. Those with a particularly keen eye for detail will also note that the Land Rover logo gets a redo for 2011, swapping gold-on- green motif for a purportedly "more contemporary" bright silver-on-green execution.
