2013 Land Rover Range Rover is Bigger and Much Lighter



Land Rover has taken the wraps off its completely redesigned 2013 Range Rover SUV.  An all-aluminum unibody as well as front and rear chassis structure brings the new Range Rover in at a much lighter weight. A full 700 lbs lighter on the U.S.-spec V-8 Range Rover.  That will translate into better gas mileage and more agile handling for the sport utility vehicle.


Key features include:

• Enhanced all-terrain performance with the introduction of a new fully automatic Land Rover "Terrain Response 2 Auto®" system

• A more spacious and luxurious interior provides a truly composed motoring experience for all occupants. Rear legroom increases 4.7 inches

• Lighter, stronger and more refined. The world's first SUV with an all-aluminum unibody structure





John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director, said: "The new Range Rover preserves the essential, unique character of the vehicle – that special blend of luxury, performance and unmatched all-terrain capability. However, its clean sheet design and revolutionary lightweight construction have enabled us to transform the experience for luxury vehicle customers, with a step change in comfort, refinement and handling."

Some say the new design looks a little too much like the Ford Flex.  What do you think?


The 2013 Land Rover Range Rover should begin arriving at dealerships in North America by December 2012.

The All New 2012 Subaru Impreza

Pete Kuhn from Mark Miller Subaru South Towne recently gave ZoomAutosUtah.com a tour of the all new 2012 Subaru Impreza. The all new Impreza is currently the most fuel efficient All Wheel Drive vehicle on the road - getting an amazing 36 miles per gallon. In the video below, Pete takes us on a test drive and points out the excellent handling and the agile Impreza's tight turning radius - no three point turn needed here!  In addition to great gas mileage the Impreza features a 14.5 gallon gas tank, 148 horsepower engine - and to give you a confident drive in any weather conditions - symmetrical all wheel drive. This is the perfect vehicle to get you and your friends up the mountain and on to the ski slopes.
