2013 Range Rover

[haven]

The full size Range Rover is getting a facelift for 2013. Heavily disguised test vehicles are circulating in public, and some have been photographed. Looks like the RR will continue to be a big boxy shape, with some less functional, more sporty styling cues.

Here's an example. http://rumors.automobilemag.com/spied-land-rover-range-rover-gets-more-evoque-like-129869.html
The new full size Range Rover should appear in 8 months or so.

Lots of official photos of the new Range Rover attached to this article. The new aluminum chassis and body saves 700 to 900 lb over the 2012 steel model.

Wow! How long since you bought a new RR? Headliners on RR's haven't sagged since 1995. At least I've never seen a P38 or L322 with a saggy headliner.

let me disappoint you , it is 2008 range rover 62.000 miles headliner is sagging . you have to update your headliner sagging year book . i will take a picture tomorrow

It's odd that a newer RR would have a sagging headliner - none of mine have had one or even had a headliner that remotely looked like it was sagging. Friday afternoon special?

That's crazy. I see hundreds of RR's every year and have not seen a saggy headliner in ages. Oh well you win

The price of the new aluminum bodied Range Rover will start at about $84K. That's about $3500 more than last year.

Competitors Land Cruiser and LX460 cost about $78K. The Infiniti QX56 (aka Nissan Patrol) with 4x4 and off-road traction modes is a relative bargain at about $70K.

Those aren't competitors just other SUVs. As we all know the RR has no peers! And the LX 570 is well over $80k QX56 ugliest car ever, btw.

I didn't think they could make the RR any uglier. Apparently I was wrong.

Mall cruisers. Mall cruisers. Mall cruisers. Endless mall cruisers of every shape, make, and kind. Evolution sucks!

@Rover Rocks, please drive one of these vehicles off road before claiming they're just becoming mall cruisers. I know they look foofy, but their capability stock is unmatched.

I've yet to see a new Range Rover (stock-for-stock) that isn't more capable than the one that preceded it. And that's even with the tires getting more street based and low profile.
