2013 Range Rover | new car review

 
Land Rover's Range Rover is thought of by many as the ultimate luxury SUV, and an all new one has just been introduced. The 2013 Range Rover promises to take the stately home on wheels to a whole new level of luxury, refinement and performance.
The 2013 Range Rover is the first SUV to feature an all aluminium monocoque body, which is 39 per cent lighter than the steel body of the outgoing model. Depending on specifications, there are weight savings of up to 420 kilos which makes for drastically improved performance and economy as well as a reduction in Co2 emissions. With a drag coefficient of 0.34, the 2013 Range Rover is the slipperiest Range Rover ever.

Although still instantly recognisable as a Range Rover, the design of the 2013 model differs significantly from the outgoing car. A thoroughly modern looks both inside and out; the 2013 Range Rover comes with reduced wind, road and engine noise and greater leg room for those seated in the rear. In standard specification it will seat five.
There are two familiar petrol engines on offer, a 5 litre V8 with 375hp and 510Nm of torque while the range topper is bestowed a 5 litre supercharged V8 putting out 510hp and 625Nm of torque which is capable of hauling the new Range Rover from 0-100km/h in an impressive 5.4 seconds. Both engines are mated to an 8 speed automatic transmission.
The Range Rover has always been very capable off the tarmac. The 2013 model features Land Rovers latest Terrain Response system which reads the terrain and adjusts the vehicles settings to ensure the best possible off road performance.
An array of safety attributes include driver, passenger, side curtain and thorax airbags, blind spot monitoring, intelligent emergency braking, dynamic stability control, electronic traction control and ABS.
