Unveiled – 2013 Range Rover

Team OD Updated: May 09, 2013, 04:15 PM IST

Land Rover has revealed details and images of its 2013 Range Rover. The company says that the new Range Rover is 420kg lighter as compared to the outgoing model. An all-aluminium unibody structure is the reason behind this weight saving. The four-corner air suspension has also been thoroughly re-engineered and Land Rover claims that this will improve the SUV's cornering ability. Land Rover has also introduced its next-gen Terrain Response system which selects the appropriate ride and handling setting based on the road surface.

Inside, the 2013 Range Rover has got 4.7 inches of added rear legroom. Rear passengers will also get a two-place rear seat package. Noise levels inside the cabin are also claimed to have been reduced due to the use of acoustic lamination on the side door glass and windscreen.

While engine options haven't been revealed yet, we expect Range Rover to continue with a choice of V8 petrol and diesel engines as also a V6 diesel mated to the new 8-speed ZF auto transmission. The new SUV is slated to be on sale starting from September this year with deliveries scheduled for early 2013.
