Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Land Rover LR2 and the average SUV quite certainly handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The average SUV's engine is significantly more massive than the Land Rover LR2's. Keep in mind that larger engines may use more gasoline than smaller ones. The LR2 could learn a lesson or two from the average SUV when it comes to pickup. Torque equals pickup, and the average SUV will have picked up and gone by the time the LR2 finally gets moving.

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the average SUV over the Land Rover LR2. The average SUV is likely a better choice than the Land Rover LR2 when it comes to transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of gear or big pets. Towing is substantially more the typical SUV's forte than it is the LR2's.

Convenience
You'll definitely have to take the Land Rover LR2 for a fill-up more often than the average SUV because of its tank size and fuel economy.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the typical SUV offers a bit more head room than the Land Rover LR2, there frankly isn't much of a difference. The average SUV is not particularly roomier for your passengers than the LR2.

Dimensions
Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the average SUV than the Land Rover LR2 because of its larger tank. The Land Rover LR2 and the average SUV compete for the same parking spaces. The LR2's shorter wheelbase will likely give a nimbler feel in daily traffic. On the flip side, the typical SUV is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the average SUV to the dealership as the Land Rover LR2. As far as fuel economy, the average SUV is somewhat better than the LR2, but not by much. The LR2 won't save you much money at the pump compared to the typical SUV. In terms of MSRP, the Land Rover LR2 doesn't cost much less than the typical SUV.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the average SUV isn't quite as generous as the Land Rover LR2's.
