Spy Photos: New 2013 Land Rover Range Rover

Land Rover is hard at work on the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover and the proof is in this aerodynamically challenged prototype just spotted testing. The new truck looks remarkably similar to the one it replaces, although we look to have thicker C and D pillars while still maintaining the near-pillarless look of Range Rovers. The windshield is also more swept back for a sportier, more wind-friendly design.

Rumors on the new, fully-redesigned Range Rover have been flying fast and furious for months now but two persist. The first is that the 2013 Land Rover Range Rover will use aluminum for the chassis and the bodywork (Thanks, Jaguar!) shedding something like 20% of the current truck's weight. There are emissions and fuel economy standards to worry about after all. The second, and more fun rumor, is that the new RR will be powered by a hybrid powertrain. And not just any powertrain, but a Volt-like plug-in, extended range hybrid system.

If you consider how many of these you see in urban/suburban Los Angeles that rarely travel more than 20 miles in a trip, a PHEV seems just the thing. And really, shouldn't we be focusing on the big things for big gains instead of small cars for small gains?
