BODY AND CHASSIS ALL-ALUMINIUM BODY

WORLD’S FIRST SUV WITH LIGHTWEIGHT ALUMINIUM CONSTRUCTION

STATE-OF-THE-ART LIGHTWEIGHT SUSPENSION ARCHITECTURE Another key factor in the driving capability of the Range Rover is the lightweight suspension architecture. The suspension systems use a clean sheet design which promises to deliver best-in- class vehicle dynamics. Primarily constructed from lightweight aluminium components, the suspension concept is fully independent, with a wide-spaced double- wishbone design at the front and an advanced multi-link layout at the rear. The lightweight chassis architecture is combined with four-corner air suspension to optimise the vehicle’s versatility both on and off-road. The air springs offer variable ride height, and are cross-linked for maximum axle articulation.

To achieve superior performance, both in terms of ride quality and the ability to change swiftly between the different ride heights, the air suspension hardware has been completely re-engineered. The characteristic Range Rover ride quality is refined through the fitment of low-hysteresis front air springs, which are able to absorb small irregularities more effectively. The springs use a thinner, suppler material, which is protected by a metal casing.

Range Rover is the world’s first SUV to feature an advanced all-aluminium body structure making it lighter, more fuel efficient and sustainable. Not only the lightest in its class by a significant margin, the aluminium structure is incredibly strong too. The body has been engineered to withstand the same off-road impacts as all Land Rovers. The joints in the shell are riveted and bonded together using techniques originally developed in the aerospace industry and adapted for automotive use by Land Rover. This structure means that traditional energy intensive construction methods such as spot welding are not required.

Vehicle shown right is Autobiography in Indus Silver with optional features fitted (market dependent).
