Safety
Unsurprisingly, the 2009 LR3 doesn’t skimp on safety. When an animal is built for serious off-roading, it ought to have serious standard safety features. The LR3 does just that with an electronic stability system with traction control, antilock brakes, brake assist and an electronic parking brake.
The LR3 has front, side-impact and side curtain airbags for the first and second rows. Side curtain airbags for the optional third row are included in the 7 Seat Comfort Package.
When the third row was down, the LR3’s asymmetrical rear window gave me great rear visibility. When the third row was up, rear visibility was terrible. To make matters worse, a rear camera isn’t available on the LR3. Huh? It’s got a parking alert system that beeps when you get too close to something, but rear cameras are great for getting out of parking spots unscathed, as well as helping you keep an eye out for kids and their gear behind the SUV.
FAMILY LIFESTAGE
In Diapers: There’s so much room in the second row, I was able to place three booster seats side-by-side.
In School: The leather seats made it easy to clean up the crumbs; younger school-age kids might have trouble buckling up because of recessed seat belt receptors.
Teens: They’ll love that they have their own climate and stereo controls in the second and third rows.
