News: 2013 Range Rover Officially Launched



Like the leaked photos earlier? Because it hasn't changed. Duh! Set to be delivered to customers by the year's end, the sale books are open now. 




The flagship gets 3 engine choices. First is a 5.0l Supercharged V8 generating 510 bhp also found in the Jag's R cars. For those more fuel conscious, there are two diesel choices. One is a 3.0l TDV6 with 258 bhp and another is a 4.4l SDV8 juicing out 339 bhp. All of which are mated to an 8-speed automatic. The 5.0l V8 returns a century sprint time of 5.1 seconds, that's 0.8 seconds faster than its predecessor. For those who dislike visiting petrol stations a lot, the TDV6 is more your type because with 258 bhp in the Rangie, it returns 13.3 kilometers in a litre of diesel. Please continue reading after the jump.





The 2013 Range Rover is slightly bigger than before (increase of 27 mm in length and 40 mm in wheelbase length) with more wading depth as it has a bit more ground clearance this time (increase of 18 mm). Not that you care about but there is Adaptive Cruise Control, Emergency Braking System, Blind Spot Monitoring, Dynamic Response, Electric Power Steering and Parking Assist available in the upcoming Range Rover. There are more like power doors that closes softly, dual tailgates, an 8-inch touch screen with Meridian sound system implemented in the SUV. More bragging rights?




The price for the new SUV starts at £71,295 for the Vogue TDV6 up to £98, 395 for the Autobiography 5.0l Supercharged V8 model. But wait, there's the options list.
