Model Review

The Land Rover Range Rover is now in its fourth generation. And while it retains the same basic shape it's always had, much has changed. For starters, Land Rover shaved an incredible 700 pounds from its curb weight, which is now down to 4,850 pounds. This was accomplished by the use of aluminum, which now makes up the entire unibody and both front and rear subframes.
