I guess the new "in" thing is to now have buttons (like Lamborghini) or gear lever that rises (new Jaguars)!

Ah, okay. Seen. wink
Re: Leaked Pictures - 2013 Range Rover by Wallie(m): 4:22pm On Aug 15, 2012
Sounds like this Range Rover can finally get out of its own way! grin

The 2013 version has an all-aluminum unibody structure that is 39% lighter than the current model’s steel body. The result is a vehicle that is up to 926 pounds lighter than before, depending on the market and equipment.

The car maker said the vehicle’s lighter body also helps improve its acceleration, braking, handling and fuel economy – attributes rarely highlighted in descriptions of previous Range Rovers.

A new air suspension system is meant to retain the cushy ride for which Range Rovers are known. But the latest underpinnings also enable flatter cornering, sharper handling and a better steering feel than before, the car maker said.

The model coming to the U.S. has a naturally aspirated 5-liter V8 engine and is about 700 pounds lighter than the outgoing version. More than one engine will be available and the vehicle comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Inside the vehicle has more than 4.7 inches more legroom than before, so rear-seat passengers in particular should notice the difference.

“The new Range Rover preserves the essential, unique character of the vehicle – that special blend of luxury, performance and unmatched all-terrain capability,” said John Edwards, Land Rover’s global brand director. “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,” Edwards said.

Saw this on jalopnik early this morning.The evoque-inspired styling looks good on their flagship, i just hope LR's reliability improves with this new model. I think they should make the air-suspension feature optional,its not easy to fix @​ all.

It might become optional now or, at the very least, installed on only the rear wheels because the SUV is going on a major diet. It is easier to maintain a certain ride height with air suspension without having to worry about the inherent weight of the vehicle plus additional cargo. In the X5, only the rear wheels are on bags and even that generates an occasional "SUSPENSION LEVEL ERROR" after some time.

Looks good though!

In the case of the X5, its the rear end of the V8-powered variants dat have it as standard while the Inline-Sixes use coils/springs.Some X5 V8 owners switch theirs to aftermarket coils/springs to eliminate the problem.

Is this what's gives the X5 the ungainly look of a raised wheelbarrow?

Looks nice. I read somewhere that it's much lighter cos of the new aluminum body.

@OP, these are not leaked pictures at all. They're official images of the car.

This is what the current generation Ford Explorer wishes it was grin The two rides kinda look alike exteriorly, especially the shape of the lights.
Luvly ride, but despite the seeming increase in length, i won't be surprised if 3rd row seating is still not available...... Like the RR wasnt designed as a family SUV.lol

It will be sooner than that, the current generation of the RR sport is already 7yrs old and is getting dated despite the updated 5.0L jaguar-sourced v8 and 8speed transmission. Two of its three main rivals have been redesigned (the mercedes ML & porsche cayenne)....besides a new bmw X5 will be launched nxt year.
