The LR2 HSE brings numerous enhancements to the new model year: All-new 19-inch aluminum alloy wheels with a Sparkle Silver finish are now standard. Providing an alternative choice, 19-inch Shadow Chrome finished aluminum alloy wheels are an available low cost option.

There are new interior features including, Almond leather seating surfaces with Nutmeg carpeting, plus two new instrument panel trim choices, Dark Laurel (woodgrain appearance) and Satin Silver (metal-look appearance). A handy 12-VDC power socket has been incorporated in the rear load space area.

On the exterior, the lenses covering the side turn-signal repeater lamps are now clear instead of amber colored. A darker matte-gray finish surrounds the lighting elements in the tail lamps.

A new-for-2009 HST exterior styling package provides a more aggressive mesh grille design, painted front and rear bumper and side sill enhancements and dual HST exhaust tips.

The LR2 has a 3.2-liter, 230-hp engine, which provides enough power to go from 0 to 60 mph in 8.4 seconds.

The Land Rover LR2 HSE features 19-inch alloy wheels, a 320-watt Alpine AM/FM audio system with six-disc in-dash CD changer with an auxiliary input for an iPod, seven airbags, power tilt-and-slide panoramic dual-panel panoramic sunroof, and Land Rover's patented Terrain Response System.
