At last, the much-awaited, all-new Landrover LR 2, is now
in the Nigerian market, courtesy of Coscharis Motors Limited,
authorized distributors of BMW, Ford and Landrover brands
in the country.
The new arrival is a revolutionary SUV which redefines the
class standards and delivers outstanding performance on and
off the road. It is compact with dynamic design, sporty stance,
spacious interior and up-to-date technology, all of which
have earned it the apt description of “a full-strength
Landrover”.This is a befitting tribute because it drawn
its attributes from its siblings, including the bold traits
of Discovery 3, the powerful lines of Range Rover Sport and
the elegance of the Range Rover.
Available in 3.2 litre petrol engine and 2.2 diesel engines,
the new LR2 is a full-time intelligent four-wheel drive vehicle
with power steering, manual tilt and reach adjustment.
The all new LR 2 is substantial and broad-shouldered with
state-of-the art interlocking shapes that reflect precision,
integrity and quality. It has a smart design and sporty stance
that is also perfect off-road. It is the most complete product
in its class and matches the refinement usually associated
with premium saloon cars.
By being first in class to introduce revolutionary off-road
technology, the all-new LR 2 gives more adventurous drivers
the edge in form of the freedom and flexibility to go where
they want and when they want. It provides the driver with
standard keyless start/stop button and air- conditioning.
The safety features includes an interior protected by meticulously
engineered front and rear crumple zones which absorb energy
during an impact. Seven airbags, fitted as standard on all
vehicles, play a key role in protecting all occupants: There
are the driver and front passenger airbags for head and chest
protection and driver and front passenger side airbags for
side impact protection.
In line with the manufacturer’s concept of reducing
fuel consumption, the all-new LR 2 has two new power plants
which deliver an exceptional balance of performance, refinement
and fuel economy.
The all new LR 2 is designed for easy driving: the optional
Bi-xenon adaption front lighting system swivels with the direction
of travel, to help improve the driver’s view of the
road ahead. For added convenience at night, approach lighting
is available which is activated from the remote control.
The standard six-speed automatic transmission adapts to individual
driver styles and comes with Command Shift for manual sequential
gear changes.
The interior is features seats that provide excellent support,
safety and durability with the driver’s having six-way
adjustment as standard, plus optional electric control and
driver seat memory (leather only). All occupants benefit from
superb leg, head and should room.
