LR3

Known elsewhere in the world as the Discovery, Land Rover's brand new mid-size luxury sport-utility vehicle is rechristened the LR3 for the U.S. market. Adopting key styling cues from its larger showroom companion, the Range Rover, the LR3 comes powered by a more-powerful eight-cylinder engine than its predecessor, courtesy of Jaguar. This is a 300-horsepower 4.4-liter V-8, and it's mated to a new six-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel-drive with a central-locking differential that engages when conditions warrant maximum grip comes standard, as does Electronic Traction Control and Dynamic Stability Control. A new fully independent double-wishbone suspension, with height-adjustable air springs in the rear, promises a smoother ride and more-precise handling. A new Terrain Response feature allows the driver to tailor the vehicle's electronic controls and traction aids according to five sets of road conditions, including three off-road modes for mud, sand, and rocky trails. Inside, the new model's cabin is roomier, with myriad stowage bins and seating for up to seven adult passengers. Both rows of rear seats can fold into the floor to maximize the LR3's cargo-carrying abilities.
