BODY AND CHASSIS
ALL-ALUMINIUM BODY
A category first, the all-aluminium
monocoque body makes the vehicle light,
strong, fuel efficient and sustainable. Being
light also improves both speed and agility
for a refined driving experience.
The body has been engineered to
withstand the same off-road impacts
as all Land Rovers. This structure means
that traditional energy intensive
construction methods, such as spot
welding, are not required.
To create such a weight-efficient body, the
structure features a rigorously optimised
combination of pressed, cast and extruded
aluminium alloy components, so that the
strength of the bodyshell is concentrated
precisely where the loads are greatest.
This results in a structure which delivers
outstanding stiffness and refinement
together with excellent crash performance.
This structure is supported by a lightweight
front and rear suspension designed to
deliver a much broader range of dynamic
capabilities across all terrains.
