    The world's first 4X4 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 all-new Range Rover is the most luxurious and capable Land Rover yet. 
Lighter, stronger and with new levels of design and technology refinement, the 
Range Rover reinforces its position as the world's finest luxury 4X4.

    Designed and engineered at Land Rover's development centres in the UK, the 
all-new Range Rover will be produced in a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing 
facility at Solihull, UK.

    John Edwards, Land Rover Global Brand Director, said: "The new Range Rover 
preserves the essential, unique character of the vehicle - that special blend 
of luxury, performance and unmatched all-terrain capability. However, its clean 
sheet design and revolutionary lightweight construction have enabled us to 
transform the experience for luxury vehicle customers, with a step change in 
comfort, refinement and handling to create the most capable Range Rover ever 
built."

    The fourth generation of the unique Range Rover line, the all-new model has 
been developed from the ground up, capturing the innovative spirit and iconic 
design of the original model which changed the world of motoring when it was 
launched over 40 years ago.

    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, all 
sourced from the UK. With over 120mm more legroom, the rear passengers benefit 
from increased space and comfort, with the option of a new two-seat Executive 
Class seating package for the ultimate in rear-seat luxury.

    The all-new Range Rover has been engineered with the latest developments in 
vehicle technologies:

    
    - Exclusive Meridian surround sound music systems
    - Power upper and lower tailgates
    - Industry-leading new Auto Terrain Response system, which analyses the 
current driving conditions and automatically selects the most suitable vehicle 
settings for the terrain
    - World's first 4X4 with revolutionary lightweight all-aluminium monocoque 
body structure

    The all-new Range Rover has a clean and elegant shape, derived from a fresh 
new interpretation of Range Rover design cues. While instantly recognisable as 
a Range Rover, the new vehicle takes a significant step forward with a bold 
evolution of the model's iconic design language.

    The lightweight aluminium body is 39 per cent lighter than the steel body 
in the previous model enabling total vehicle weight savings of up to 420kg. 
This delivers 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 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 natural and intuitive steering feel.

    Available in over 160 markets worldwide, pre-orders open from September 
2012 [market dependent] with customer deliveries scheduled to start from early 
2013.
