Overview

2014 Land Rover LR2

The 2014 Land Rover LR2 combines a premium badge with the practicality of an SUV. Powered by a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission and standard 4-wheel drive, it aims to deliver a refined on-road experience with off-road capability. However, potential buyers should be aware of its reliability record, which is marked by a high TSB count and a critical recall concerning the airbag system. Fuel economy is respectable for its class, rated at 20 MPG combined.

Critical Failure Risk

A recall addresses a potential failure of the Occupant Classification System (OCS) ECU, which can lead to the passenger airbag not deploying. While a software update is the remedy, underlying ECU issues could persist.

Early detection can help you avoid a $500-$1,500 repair.
