By far, the biggest news surrounding the all-new 2013 Range Rover is that it has lost weight... a whole lot of it. By using an all-aluminum unibody - as opposed to steel in the model it replaces - Land Rover's new top dog SUV is now 39% lighter, making it more agile, more fuel efficient, and more environment-friendly. How much weight you ask? 420 kg to be exact.

Losing that much weight is no joke. That's practically the towing capacity for a lot of lesser vehicles out there pretending to be an SUV, and doing so while being green and keeping the country employed is even better. Slated to be built at a new factory in Solihull, United Kingdom, the all-new Range Rover employs the latest low-energy aluminum manufacturing techniques. It truly is a marvelous example of British engineering and design work by the folks at Land Rover.
