All-new state-of-the-art Range Rover

Available to order from September 2012 with customer deliveries scheduled to start from early 2013, the all-new Range Rover will be a global model, available in more than 160 markets worldwide. 

The fourth generation of the Range Rover line, the all-new model has been developed from the ground up. The world’s first SUV with a revolutionary lightweight all-aluminium monocoque body structure is 39 per cent lighter than the steel body in the outgoing model, enabling total vehicle weight savings of up to 420kg, the company says. 

The lightweight aluminium platform has delivered significant enhancements in performance and agility, along with a transformation in fuel economy and CO2 emissions. 

In addition to the strong and rigid lightweight body, an all-new aluminium front and rear chassis architecture has been developed with a completely re-engineered four-corner air suspension. While the luxurious ride has been retained, the vehicle’s handling and agility have been significantly improved. The new suspension architecture delivers flatter, more confident cornering, with a natural and intuitive steering feel. 

Amongst the industry-leading innovations is a ground-breaking next-generation version of Land Rover’s Terrain Response system, which analyses the current driving conditions and automatically selects the most suitable vehicle settings for the terrain. 

To ensure exceptional durability and reliability, the new model has been subjected to Land Rover’s punishing on- and off-road tests, with a fleet of development vehicles covering millions of kilometres over 18 months of arduous tests in more than 20 countries with extreme climate and road surfaces. 

In the cabin, the all-new Range Rover provides occupants with a sensation of serene isolation, meeting the highest luxury-car standards for refinement. Measures like the rigorously optimised body structure and acoustic lamination of the windscreen and side door glass have significantly reduced noise levels, while the new suspension provides even more luxurious ride comfort and refinement. 

The sumptuous interior incorporates distinctive Range Rover design cues, but executed with a very contemporary treatment, and clean, elegant surfaces which are flawlessly presented using the finest leathers and veneers. With over 118mm more legroom, the rear occupants benefit from vastly increased space and comfort, with the option of a new two-seat Executive Class seating package for the ultimate in rear-seat luxury. 

To deliver the model’s characteristic effortless performance, customers have the choice of a refined supercharged V8 petrol engine or TDV6 and SDV8 diesel engines combining responsive performance with outstanding CO2 emissions.
