Exterior

The LR3 is unique-looking — in a swanky way — with its tall, asymmetrical rear window that lets in tons of light to the second and third rows. I tend to think of the LR3 as the giraffe of the SUV kingdom because it’s taller and narrower than you’d think. Despite its height of 74.3 inches, it fit perfectly in my garage. With its narrow width of 75.4 inches, it didn’t put my husband’s car in danger of receiving any door dings.

I thought the liftgate was going to be troublesome for me to use because the LR3 is so tall, but it was incredibly easy to reach when open. A small tailgate made it easy to load up the cargo area; it also made for a nice place to sit.

One of this SUV’s most noticeable traits is its impressive turning radius that trumps its competitors. At 18.8 feet, I can turn this puppy around in one shot. Even though it’s easy to turn around, the LR3 is still large and kind of cumbersome to drive; navigating parking lots and teeny drive-throughs required some extra care.

The LR3’s front end is modern-looking, with its sturdy and strong angles, but it’s not too trendy looking. It says “I’m a Land Rover” without adding a “dahling!” at the end of the sentence. The LR3 has a clean, simple design that camouflages all that’s going on inside.
