The vehicle improved with the basis remaining same.

 

The typical comfort factor was in hand with the overall interior scheming to fully support. The calm and cozy interior happened traditionally with the color scheming to support, with specs like Power Window, Power Steering and central control console to make the experience enhanced. The transmission that gained popularity was manual one, because on rough roads it works wonder. The automatic transmission was although introduced but was not something people preferred.


The exterior of these vehicles as land rover lr2 was made solidly smooth with chassis that added color to on road experience. The lights and overall body was solid enough to make difference. The headlight, taillights and Fog lights worked together to illuminate the fogy dark roads in all weather. The changes were made keeping customer preference in mind.
