2013 Range Rover has received
positive reactions on the web, but many have criticized its close
resemblance, especially the light fittings, to the Ford Explorer and the
Ford Flex. Ford was the previous owner of the luxury marque and
unsolicited comments even accused Ford of duping Land Rover by copying
these designs on its cars before the Range Rover could hit the market.
The
2013 Range Rover is the first model to have undergone its entire
development post Tata Motors’ acquisition of Land Rover. The company has
the put the model through a diet, and as a result, it has shed 317 kg.
This was possible by making an all-aluminum unibody structure, the first
in the world for any SUV. This incredible weight loss was not aided by
downsizing.
And
testimony to this claim is the rear legroom that has been increased by
4.7 inches. Off-roading is made possible by the Land Rover “Terrain
Response 2 Auto” system fitted to the car. Other features include a
premium MeridianTM sound system and a split tailgate. For the North
American market, V8 engines paired to a new eight-speed ZF automatic
transmission, will be on offer.
Rumor
has it that a plug-in hybrid option will join the ranks in the next few
years. The new Range Rover will be manufactured at Land Rover’s
Solihull plant in the United Kingdom. The new Range Rover is likely to
premiere at the 2012 Paris Auto Show which begins late next month and is
expected to land in India next year. The 2013 Range Rover was tested in
over 20 countries for over a million miles.
With
over 4.7 inches more legroom than the outgoing model, the rear
occupants benefit from vastly increased space and comfort. The option of
a two place rear seating package provides for the ultimate in
personalized rear-seat luxury. To deliver the characteristic effortless
performance expected by customers, the Range Rover will continue to
offer a choice of V8 engines in the North American.
