2010 Land Rover LR4 replaces the LR3

Its strange that the people from Land Rover decided to rename the LR3 to the LR4. So does that mean the next LR2 will be called LR3? Anyway the new 2010 Land Rover LR4 certainly improves in performance, delivering 25% more power and 19% more torque than the previous 4.4L engine. The new 5.0-liter V8 develops 375 hp and 375 lb-ft torque. The LR-V8 has a new ZF HP28 6-speed automatic transmission. It gives a 0-60 mph time of 7.5 seconds. It comes with bigger brakes also for better stopping power.

New variable camshaft timing or VCT system boosts engine torque, saves energy. The response rate of the new VCT units is 25 percent higher than before, and therefore delivers a more immediate engine response to the driver’s demand.

The exterior design has been updated, most obviously with smoother and simpler surfaces at the front, including a new, more aerodynamic bumper. The sportier new lights help give the vehicle new character, and include LED technology front and rear. Aerodynamic changes to the front end, with the revised front lower chin spoiler and new front wheel deflectors, help to reduce drag by increasing underfloor airflow, and LR4 is fitted with new 19-inch wheels and tires.

The interior is completely redesigned, with a transformed dash and center console, new seats and an array of new, user friendly features.New features available for the LR4 include a portable audio interface, available HD Radio, a new available five-camera ’surround’ system, for easier parking and towing, and a new key system which offers Keyless Entry and Push Button start.

Smoother, simpler surfaces are employed at the front, by sportier looking front lights, with new LED position lamps. New lights are also introduced at the rear of the vehicle, incorporating LED stop, tail and indicator technology. The redesigned front bumper also helps improve steering feel, as its new front wheel deflectors help reduce aerodynamic lift at the front of the vehicle by up to 50% at higher speeds. A new, twin seven-spoke 19″ wheel design is introduced on the LR4 and a new, 10-spoke 20″ wheel is available as a factory-fit option.
