New for 2012
Changes for 2012 are mostly limited to the LR4's audio and navigation systems. There's a new 14-speaker stereo, and a 17-speaker stereo is optional.

The navigation system features a new voice-activation system and gains revised menus and traffic information. The available rear-seat entertainment system has also been updated.
