The Range Rover Evoque has been stealing the show for the past year or so, but come 2013, the new Landrover Range Rover will be back in the saddle showing off its svelte aluminum body while still maintaining its offroad capabilities. Our spy photographers caught the new Range Rover during hot weather testing in Southern Europe. These images show small changes to the exterior of the SUV, such as the slightly modified front end and the smaller rear window. It’s clear that, so far, LandRover has chosen to sharpen the design of the Range Rover as opposed to completely redefining it. The most attention has been paid to the materials used to construct the vehicle. There are rumors stating that Landrover will be adopting a new platform from the RangeRover, quite possibly using a modified Jaguar XJ platform that has been tweaked to maintain the Range Rover’s off-road performance. The perfecting of this platform is vital to Landrover’s lineup since the upcoming Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover Sport will also be utilizing it. The new Range Rover will also be a lot lighter than its predecessor thanks to the use of more aluminum on the vehicle’s chassis and body. The lighter makeup of the 2013 Landrover Range Rover will also benefit the vehicle with an improvement of fuel consumption. UPDATE 08/16/2011: Some guy’s lame attempt to cover up the future Range Rover made from some hilarious spy shots! Check them out in the gallery provided and keep an eye out for those full LED headlight displayed for all to see. Also, stay tuned for more images of the 2013 LandRover RangeRover as it takes its laps around the Nurburgring for its hi-speed testing! UPDATE 08/17/2011: It’s hi-speed testing time and our spy photographers were there to capture the action. Check out the new images of the future Range Rover as it takes its turn at the Nurburgring! UPDATE 01/30/2012: The upcoming Land Rover Range Rover has been caught testing again, this time during winter conditions. Also, for the first time we have some spy shots of the interior. Enjoy! UPDATE 05/21/2012: The upcoming Land Rover Range Rover has been caught testing one more time, now wearing less camouflage than ever. More on the 2013 Landrover Range Rover after the jump. As far as power, the Range Rover will use both diesel and petrol engines from the current lineup with possible upgrades here and there. Again, Landrover has chosen to sharpen the existing equipment, but focus more on the newer features. For the first time in Range Rover history, the vehicle will come with a hybrid powertrain, first shown in the Range_e concept at the Geneva Motor Show. The Range_e was powered by a 3.0-liter TDV6 diesel combined with an electric motor and an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. It can achieve 89g of CO2, has an electric range of 20 miles, a top speed of around 120mph, and a combined range of 690 miles. However, Landrover has taken it a step further by providing two different hybrid models to choose from - a diesel and a petrol - to show off its greener side. Expect the new generation Range Rover to show its face sometime in late 2012 or early 2013. 15 comments: LandRover RangeRover The speed performance of this RangeRover is really so impressive for a Jeep vehicle, and I must say that I can’t truly wait to see the official exterior appearance of this one even the interior details of it.
 Is that already the final outlook of this Range Rover? Well, I think it is much better if, it had a simple design, and I must say that it really didn’t look so impressive on that, and I hope they should enhance it more.
 I wonder of they are unveiling the car in the Frankfurt Motor Show. I have to say that I’m really impressed with the speed performance of the car. And seems it’s that Jeep would be an awesome vehicle.
 I can’t stop laughing at that lame shot in the gallery!haha! It’s hard to determine on what are the changes that were made on the vehicle since it was covered by camouflage. I hope to read more updates regarding this car.
 I was amazed in the speed performance of the vehicle! I wonder if they are going to reveal this one in the Frankfurt Motor Show.
 Well, I was thinking if they are going to compete this one with the Jeep? The Wrangler version of the car is quite amazing!
 Funny, it’s looks like more of a cow or a zebra. I really hate its physical appearance. Some kinda funny. It lost the masculine effect that a rover must have. However, looking in its other color, it looks just fine.
 I think it cannot steal the attention of the customers, since they wanted this car to compete with the Range Rover Evoque. We all know that Evouge is one great LandRover. Although this new RangeRover is quite good too, I still doubt its performance.
 It seems that this is an early teaser for this vehicle. Well, I hope that they are going to unveiled the details before the end of 2012.
