2001 Range Rover 4.6 HSE Receives 'First For Safety' Award

8 December 2000

    LANHAM, Md., Dec. 7 The 2001 Range Rover 4.6 HSE model has
received Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine's "First for Safety" award for
sport-utility vehicles.  The magazine issued the award in its December 2000
edition as part of a special section titled "The Best New Cars."
    According to Kiplinger's, the "First for Safety" award is based on two
objective measures that include "a vehicle's safety record, as measured by
injury-claims data maintained by the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI)," and
the presence of "safety features, such as anti-lock brakes and traction
control" on the vehicle.*  The Highway Loss Data Institute and the Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety are independent, nonprofit, research and
communications organizations dedicated to reducing highway crash deaths,
injuries and property losses.
    "We are very proud that our Range Rover has received the 'First for
Safety' award for sport-utility vehicles," said Howard Mosher, president and
CEO of Land Rover North America, Inc.  "Land Rover strives to build the most
capable sport-utility vehicles in the world-and a best-in-class award from a
source like Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine is proof positive that we
are doing our job."
    The British-built 2001 Range Rover and Discovery Series II models from
Land Rover feature durable body-on-frame construction that incorporates
reinforced, boxed-steel, ladder-style frames.  For more information on Land
