Experts at TheCarConnection.com find the 2009 Land Rover LR3 to be more or less loaded with features—most of them standard.

For 2009, the Land Rover LR3 lineup has been revamped. The two-model lineup has been expanded to include three members of the family: the base, HSE, and HSE LUX.

Kelley Blue Book details the following standard equipment for the base Land Rover LR3: "advanced four-wheel-disc braking system, power sunroof, leather seating, electronic stability control, dual-zone automatic air conditioning, Harman/Kardon stereo with CD, power driver's and passenger's seats, 18-inch alloy wheels and front, front side-impact and three-row side-curtain airbags."

Cars.com reports "a DVD-based navigation system with offroad capability is available" in the Land Rover LR3, while ConsumerGuide points out "heated front and rear seats are optional for all." Cars.com states that a "navigation system and bi-xenon headlights are standard" for higher-end trims.

New for 2009 is a package that includes the third-row seat and rear climate control.

Conclusion

The 2009 Land Rover LR3 offers a good list of standard features, especially now that prices are lower.

Other Choices:

The Porsche Cayenne is a bit lighter and more road-oriented, matching a sporty exterior to a basic interior design that parallels those in Porsche sportscars, but it's not nearly as roomy inside as these other SUVs. The Mercedes M-Class offers an especially intriguing alternative for those who are conscious about gas-guzzling: the diesel ML320 CDI, which gets 18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway. Buyers looking to the 2009 Land Rover LR3 as a fashion statement should consider the Jeep Commander, which also has tall, boxy styling and serious off-road ability. However, the Jeep can't claim the LR3's breadth of luxury equipment or its well-laid-out, space-efficient interior design. The Audi Q7 has some measure of off-road ability, though it's configured more for good on-road performance. It also has a new clean-diesel option and an especially attractive interior.
