We appreciate the experts at MotorWeek acknowledging the new Range Rover as their Dream Machine award winner here at the Chicago Auto Show."
The all‑new 2013 Land Rover Range Rover has been engineered from the ground up to be the most capable, most refined Range Rover ever. Lighter, stronger, and with new levels of refinement, the next Range Rover reinforces its position among the finest luxury vehicles. It is the world's first SUV with an all‑aluminum unibody structure that is lighter and stronger than ever before, with a weight savings of about 700lbs compared to the outgoing model.
"The Range Rover has always been a brute in a tuxedo, but now it's dropped some 700 pounds of weight, and put on some fancier duds for truly exceptional town and country living," said MotorWeek host John Davis.
Arriving in showrooms this winter, the all‑new Range Rover has a starting MSRP price of $83,500* and will go up to $130,950* for the Autobiography trim level.
