About the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover

4th generation (L405), first model year

Land Rover positioned the Range Rover as a luxury SUV that did not trade away serious off-road ability. Its identity centered on a quiet, leather-lined cabin, an elevated driving position, long-distance comfort, powerful V8 performance, and full-time 4WD with low-range gearing. The key distinction from most luxury SUVs was its combination of high-end craftsmanship and genuine capability on rough ground, steep grades, and through deep water.

The standard Range Rover pairs a 375-hp V8 with low-range four-wheel drive, adjustable air suspension, an 8-inch touchscreen, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument display. HSE emphasizes comfort with a panoramic roof and heated rear seats, while Supercharged adds a 510-hp V8 and automatic terrain settings. Autobiography combines that stronger engine with massaging front seats, reclining heated rear seats, soft-close doors, and extensive leather trim.

What changed, by category

Powertrain

Both 5.0-liter V8 engines gained an eight-speed automatic transmission. The redesigned model also improved fuel economy ratings: HSE rose from 12/18 to 14/20 mpg city/highway, and Supercharged rose from 12/18 to 13/19 mpg.

Styling

The exterior was completely redesigned with a sleeker shape, near-flush side glass, new LED lighting details, and updated grille and bumper designs.

Safety

The new passenger structure used high-strength aluminum, while the braking and stability-control hardware was updated. Major collision-avoidance features remained dependent on optional equipment packages.

Tech

A new 12.3-inch digital instrument display and 8-inch touchscreen modernized the cabin. Premium audio changed from standard to optional across the lineup.

Structural

The new aluminum body made the U.S.-spec V8 model about 700 pounds lighter. Land Rover also redesigned the four-corner air suspension, made electronically controlled dampers standard, added 4.7 inches of rear legroom, improved cabin sound isolation, and increased water-wading depth to 35.4 inches.
