2013 Range Rover Land Rover
2013 Range Rover Land Rover: 2013 Range Rover is a staggering 700 lbs. lighter than the model it replaces. As all automakers race to improve fuel economy, in an effort to keep pace with government regulations and consumer demand, they are routinely challenged to shave pounds, even ounces. For example, spare tires are becoming optional equipment on many cars, just to save weight. Put in context, trimming a 100 lbs. is notable. Excising 700 lbs. without shrinking the vehicle is, frankly, amazing.
The British-built SUV will have a body structure that is 39-percent lighter than the current BMW-designed model, putting its curb weight at a still hefty 5,000 lbs. (In other markets, the weight-reduction therapy cuts as much as 926 lbs.) Land Rover claims that the new Range Rover will preserve the brands off-road capability, aided by the latest Terrain Response electronic system, while improving ride and handling. A claim that likely followed each new Range Rover launch through the decades, but today promises an impressive combination.
