New York was the place for Land Rover to overhaul almost its entire line. After the 2010 refreshes to the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, it showed off the 2010 LR4.
While the name LR4 is new to Land Rover, it’s just to signify the fourth generation of the Discovery (it’s still called Discovery outside of North America.) Just like the other two Land Rover stylings, the idea with the LR4 is smooth out and simplify. Outside this includes a more aerodynamic front bumper and a new LED light cluster. Inside there are new materials with a more ergonomically friendly layout.
The LR4 will also get the the new 5.0-liter V8 engine that has gone to both Range Rover models. Unlike the Rangers, this Land Rover will not get the supercharged version. The engine is rated at 375 bhp and 375 lbs/ft torque, which gives the LR4 a 0 to 60 mph time of 7.5 seconds.
