What We Drove

Painted in Stornoway (a.k.a. charcoal) gray, our 2008 Land Rover LR2 tester arrived with a window sticker reading $40,050. Added onto the base price of $33,985 was a $715 destination charge, $700 for a cold climate package, $100 for California emissions, and two popular equipment packages. The Lighting Package, coming in at $1,050, tacked on bi-xenon headlights, approach lights, and a memory function for the mirrors and driver’s seat. Priced at $3,500, the Technology Package packed in a navigation system, a surround sound system with Sirius satellite radio, rear seat audio controls, and Bluetooth connectivity. We put about 700 miles on our temporary ride, covering much of southern California.
