Car giant Land Rover has revealed plans for a lighter, roomier new Range Rover.

With first deliveries to customers due from early next year, the new 4x4 vehicle will be made at the company’s Solihull plant.

Sporting a more luxurious interior, the new Range Rover will have a lightweight aluminium body, making it 39% lighter than the steel body in the previous model.

There will be more legroom inside, with passengers in the back getting increased space and comfort.

Land Rover global brand director John Edwards said: “The new Range Rover preserves the essential, unique character of the vehicle - that special blend of luxury, performance and unmatched all-terrain capability.

“However, its clean sheet design and revolutionary lightweight construction have enabled us to transform the experience for luxury vehicle customers, with a step change in comfort, refinement and handling to create the most capable Range Rover ever built.”
