2016 Land Rover LR4 HSE Lux

The LR4 is Land Rover's full-size seven-seat SUV, the one with the boxy styling and serious off-road pedigree. On pavement it feels steady and planted, and the ride is comfortable, though you'll notice its height and weight in corners. Inside, the cabin is roomy and upright, with three rows of seats that fold flat to open up a generous cargo area. Reliability is a mixed bag, with some owners reporting electrical issues, but the 2016 model is generally considered more dependable than earlier years. Its 3.0L V6 makes 340 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, routed through a eight-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which gives it confident highway merging and steady towing capability. You can add a rear-seat entertainment system and a surround-view camera, but the trade-off for the LR4's off-road prowess is its fuel economy of 16 mpg combined.
