Antilock brakes and an electronic parking brake are installed
Cars.com
TheCarConnection.com notes that the 2008 Land Rover LR3 has substantial safety equipment. However, crash tests have not been performed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Cars.com reports, "Antilock brakes and an electronic parking brake are installed" on the Land Rover LR3. In addition to front airbags, "side-impact airbags and side curtain airbags for the first and second rows are standard, and separate side curtains are included to protect third-row occupants." Edmunds asserts, "Safety features on the 2008 Land Rover LR3 include traction control, stability control with rollover mitigation technology [and] hill-descent control"; in addition, "rear parking sensors are included on all [Land Rover] LR3s, while front bumper sensors are standard on the HSE and optional on the SE." Furthermore, "adaptive headlights, which 'look' around corners and adjust up and down to counter the effects of hard braking, are also available."
Edmunds also reports that in the Land Rover LR3, "a commanding driving position and elevated 'stadium' seating give the driver a clear view of the road (or trail) ahead."
Conclusion
The list of standard safety equipment indicates that the 2008 Land Rover LR3 provides good levels of protection for its occupants, but crash-test results are still in the offing.

The landrover lr3

First of all this review is kinda full of crap. Lets face it. The Landrover LR3 is very capable, can easily manuever around tight corners, how I know that is becauase i own a 2007 Landrover LR3 and im 18 y/o, I got the car when i was 16, almost 17. Kids my age love to speed, we take sharp turnes, and the vehicle has proven more than capable at handling a good ride, especially since the height adjustable air-ride suspension surely helpes the car make the road seem much smoother. The sounds system of the vehicle is phenominal and is comparable to systems that teens make on their cars, you know the ones with 13" subwoofers. Every seat of every car will always be uncomortable, not because the seat is uncomfortable, but the position in which the person is in is very uncomfortable, yet the seats of the car is completly comfortable, no one that has sat in my car has yet to disagree with me on that. Third row seating? Are you kiding me, it cannot be any easier to climb back their, all you need is one half and barely any strenth to pull a string, and fold, pull a tab and fold, it cant be any easier, unless you want the car to pick you up and sit you in the third row seat, but you go ahead and tell me who offers that option? you want a little more throttle in a car? The lr3 is a very heavy car, so what kind of throttle response do you expect from the lr3? 0-60 in 8 seconds? 6 if you put it in sports more maybe less in transcommand, ya i would know cuz i constantly speed in my car, im always speeding in fact, i have raced many cars, and suvs, i have not lost a sinle time. so what are you talking about the throttle response for? and why are you comparing an suv to a crossover? suv and crossover are two different things, otherwise it would be called the landrover lr3 crossover...so watch what you say and quit looking for things to pick on the car about, you have nothing to say, all your cons about the lr3 dont make any sense and pretty much are inelgible in any debate over the rating of a car.
