On the road the LR4’s air suspension is super comfortable and you ride in roomy, luxurious cabin that’s literally “fit for a King or Queen”.
High torque is provided across most of the engine’s speed range and this helps make the LR4 a pretty good tow vehicle. Power goes to all four wheels through an electronically controlled 2-speed transfer case. The LR4 comes with what’s probably the most user-friendly four-wheel-drive system on the market, Land Rover’s Terrain Response System (TRS). The LR4 almost drives itself.
My test Land Rover LR4 came with the HSE Lux Package ($10,800), which comes with a standard rear-view camera and headlights with LED Signature Lighting (photo).
It also came with the new Vision Assist Package, which includes: Adaptive Front Lighting System (swivelling HID headlights), Automatic High Beam Assist, a Surround Camera System, power-folding mirrors and Trailer Assist.
The made in UK the Land Rover LR4 is still known in most of the world as the Land Rover Discovery. The tall two-box shape is mostly about function over style, yet it’s distinctively Land Rover. My test LR4 came with two foldaway seats in the rear that expand seating capacity to seven. The Vision Assist Package includes Automatic High Beam Assist. This system automatically switches on the headlights in low light conditions and it automatically switches to the low beams to avoid dazzling drivers in oncoming vehicles. It’s designed to make the LR4 easier to park, hook up a tow hitch or manoeuvre off-road.
The air suspension in the Land Rover LR4 is a great feature. You sit tall in the driver’s seat of the LR4 and a conveniently extra wide and flat window ledge is at elbow level.
A classy and technically sophisticated SUV, the Land "Rover LR4" possesses exceptional off-road capability, yet it’s also a pleasure to drive, or ride in, on a paved highway.
