Land Rover’s lineup of sporty and luxurious SUVs are getting some slight revisions for 2009, with changes being made to all models. The 2009 Land Rover LR2 will get new wheels, new carpeting for the interior, clear side repeater lenses, and revised instrument panel finishes.
The 2009 Land Rover LR3 will get new wheel designs, with 19-in. wheels now coming as standard. Body-color wheel arches and bumper covers also appear. New finishes to the door and tailgate handles and clear lenses on the side repeater lamps are new to the LR3. The HST package, consisting of a sporty body kit, painted front and rear bumpers, side-sill enhancements, and dual HST exhaust tips, is also new for 2009 and gives the LR3 a more aggressive appearance.
Perhaps most noteworthy of Land Rover’s changes will be to the line of Range Rover models, which includes the addition of a new “Autobiography” package for the Range Rover Sport Supercharged model. This package consists of leather trim for the console side surfaces, door casings, and the entire instrument panel. Wood trim accents are also dispersed throughout the interior. Semi-aniline leather seats provide occupants with luxurious seating, while four-zone automatic climate control and a rear-seat entertainment system keep passengers in good spirits.
Other changes made to the Range Rover line include upgraded leather trim for the steering wheel and instrument panel top surface. New and improved door seals help reduce cabin noise, an improvement for off-road warriors. New paint colors are available, along with new wheel designs. Improvements have been made to the interior craftsmanship, and changes are rounded out by clear lenses for the taillamps and side repeater lamps, a “Noble” finish for metal vent bezels, inside door pulls, and the upper and lower console trim. A body-color lower tailgate also comes standard.
