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.
