2007 Land Rover LR2 (Freelander 2)

The fourth new model from Land Rover in just four years, LR2 joins the Range Rover (2002), Land Rover LR3 (2004) and Range Rover Sport (2005). "LR2 combines the advantages of a premium sedan - such as polished ride, accomplished performance, an attractive cabin and ease-of-use - with the attributes of a robust SUV, including go-anywhere ability, toughness, stadium seating, cabin versatility and spaciousness," says Phil Popham, Land Rover's managing director. "We believe that no other compact SUV gets closer to blending these best-of-both-worlds abilities."
