SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Land Rover has spent several generations turning out some of the most capable SUVs on the planet. A commitment to quality like that is bound to gain some attention from competitors. The class of the luxury SUVs may not be very wide but the available choices make for a very deep set of choices.

This is where the time that Land Rover of San Antonio has spent dissecting the Land Rover LR2 vs. the BMW X3 all the more valuable for customers.

As far as head-to-head comparisons go, there are not many that are going to be as competitive as the Land Rover LR2 vs. the BMW X3. Both vehicles have the pedigree of coming from some of the most exacting manufacturers in the automotive industry. On the basis of the two vehicles' available powertrains, the race between the LR2 and the X3 is a dead heat from the start. Each vehicle is powered by a 2.0-liter, inline four-cylinder engine that is capable of producing 240 horsepower, and both engines are in fact, turbocharged. What the Land Rover LR2 does with that power is one place where the gap begins to show. The Land Rover SUV can tow 500 more pounds and has a turning diameter that is nearly two feet smaller than the BMW X3.

The Land Rover LR2 is capable of hauling about 60 cubic-feet of space cargo with its second row of seats folded down. Even with those seats deployed for passengers, approximately 30 cubic-feet of space is still available for use. Performance is not an issue for the Land Rover LR2. With a top speed of 120 miles per hour and the ability to cross standing water up to 19 inches deep, the LR2 is more than able to handle even the unforeseeable daily driving conditions.
