Why should I also consider these?
Buyers looking to the 2008 Land Rover LR3 as a fashion statement should consider the Jeep Commander, which also has tall, boxy styling and serious off-road ability.
However, the Jeep doesn't have the LR3's breadth of luxury equipment or its well-laid-out, space-efficient interior design.
Then there are several large European SUVs in a similar, if not slightly pricier range.
The Audi Q7 has some measure of off-road ability, though it's configured more for good on-road performance.
However, it's very heavy, and its fuel economy is almost as low as the LR3's.
The Porsche Cayenne is a bit lighter and more road-oriented, matching a sporty exterior to a more basic interior design that parallels those in Porsche sportscars, but it's not nearly as roomy inside.
The Mercedes M-Class offers an especially intriguing alternative for those who are conscious about gas-guzzling: the diesel ML320 CDI, which gets 18 mpg city, 24 mpg highway.
