Land Rover, the pioneers of manufacturing sports utility vehicles, has raised its level of excellence to unprecedented heights with the magnificently crafted, mid-size LR3. This is the ultimate mid-size SUV. It comes equipped with a powerful V8 engine, a highly advanced suspension and, at your discretion, two or three rows of fold-up seating. The LR3 is a multi-functioning vehicle that readily fits numerous driving situations. Whether it is driving to a night at the opera, transporting your child?s soccer team, hauling furniture across the city, or taking an off-road adventure weekend, the LR 3 transitions seamlessly to fulfill diverse transportation needs.

The LR3 is clearly more than a 21st century station wagon for drivers seeking opulent styling and state-of-the-art safety features. A spacious cabin and elevated seats, which are trimmed in supple English leather, give both driver and passengers plenty of space and a clear view of their surroundings. Superior technology keeps switches to a minimum, giving the dashboard an elegant, plush design akin to the venerable Range Rover. Safety features include adaptive headlights, four-wheel antilock brakes, active anti-roll technology and hill-descent control. The vehicle also features side-impact and head-curtain airbags.

Luxury, comfort and safety are uniquely rolled into one very enthralling package with the LR3. Unequivocally, this is a sports utility vehicle that lives up to the Land Rover?s reputation for innovation.
