8. Land Rover LR2
Starting price: approximately $38,000
When the Land Rover brand is mentioned to most consumers, they first think of the larger Range Rover or Range Rover Sport utilities. The company’s entry into the luxury crossover market; however, is the Land Rover LR2. The smaller SUV provides all-wheel drive as standard equipment, and handles exceptionally well off-road. The vehicle features dual power front seats, keyless ignition and entry, and touchscreen controls. The auto is powered by a four cylinder, 240 HP engine that sees a fuel efficiency rating at the lower end of the affordable crossovers at 17 MPG city / 24 MPG highway. The LR2 also has below-average cargo capacity, but does include the Land Rover Terrain Response System, collision mitigation, a blind-spot monitor, and adaptive cruise control.
