2011 Land Rover LR2

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2011 LR2.

Body SUVTransmission Automatic (S6)

The 2011 Land Rover LR2 is an SUV equipped with a six-speed automatic transmission and an engine requiring a substantial 8.0 quarts of 0W-30 API oil, delivering an EPA-rated 15 mpg in the city and 22 on the highway. Though the powertrain stands out as the top complaint area among the 13 total owner complaints and 2 recalls recorded for this year, the 2011 model occupies a surprisingly strong position within the 2008-2015 reliability history. It sits just before the model's least problematic year in 2012 with only 6 complaints, meaning this iteration represents a dramatically improved and relatively stable point in the vehicle's lifecycle compared to the troubled 2008 launch and its 85 complaints.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 75,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2011 LR2 sits in the middle of a clear downward complaint trend, with 13 complaints—a significant drop from the 85 recorded in 2008 and the 30 in 2009, but still above the 6 complaints seen in both 2012 and 2015. Recalls for 2011 total 2, matching the 2010 and 2012 counts, while Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) rise to 163, continuing an upward climb that peaks at 286 in 2013 before falling again. The data does not specify root causes for any complaints or recalls, so the increase in TSBs after 2011 may reflect more documented service guidance rather than worsening reliability. With only one crash complaint and zero fire complaints, the 2011 model year appears relatively stable within the generation’s arc, but it is not the low point for complaints. Given that later years (2012–2015) show fewer complaints and similar or fewer recalls, the 2011 LR2 is a passable choice, but a 2012 or later model would be a stronger buy based on the federal record alone.
