Spied Again: 2013 Range Rover prototype

Our trusty Teamspeed spy photographers have caught again today the 2013 Range Rover prototype wearing a full production body. The model is heavily disguised, but we can see it will feature a clam-shell hood, massive headlights and a sloping roof-line. Furthermore, the vehicle appears significantly larger which should result in additional rear seat legroom and added cargo capacity.

Engine options will likely carry over from the current model, but we can also expect to see hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants that borrow technology from the Range e concept. Additional information is limited, but previous reports have indicated the Range Rover will ride an aluminum chassis that is being developed with the assistance of Jaguar. Thanks to this change, the vehicle could be up to 400 kg lighter than the current model. The redesigned Range Rover could be introduced in late 2012 as 2013 model.
