The Land Rover LR3 was sold as a variety of brands in international markets, including the Land Rover Discovery 3. The Land Rover LR3 is a generational redesign of the former Land Rover Discovery and the resemblance is stunning. However, the Land Rover LR3 was the first of the line to be originally designed, and previous iterations of the Land Rover Discovery were redesigned as Land Rover Range Rover models. The North American name change was based on the company’s research noting Americans prefer alpha-numerical model designations.
Consider Land Rover LR3 features
The Land Rover LR3 was designed differently than its predecessors and most SUVs of the time. The Land Rover LR3’s integrated body frame instills a monocoque method, fusing the engine bay and passenger compartment into a ladder-frame chassis. This design adds weight to the vehicle without compromising agility or strength. The five-door crossover also features fully independent air suspension enabling adjustments to the ride height through inflation and deflation.
Land Rover LR3 in all its glory
The Land Rover LR3 remained relatively stable during its run between 2004 and 2010, only undergoing one facelift. However, the options for a Land Rover LR3 are not limited. The base engine of a 4.0L V6 could be upgraded to a 4.4L V8 or a diesel-driven 2.7L V6-T. As far as the gearbox goes, options were limited to a six-speed manual or automatic. On the interior, the base model of the Land Rover LR3 was already loaded with features like a terrain response system, premium navigation system and electronic traction control.
