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
