The Sexiest New Eco-Friendly Cars

Finally, automobiles that look good while saving the planet.

February 2013 Issue

LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER
The first SUV built on a lightweight aluminum chassis, the new Range Rover has dropped over 700 pounds, improving acceleration, handling, and fuel economy—albeit not by much. See, materials, not mpg, are the draw here: With an eye toward sustainability, 75 percent of its aluminum is recycled, and the buttery Scottish Bridge of Weir leather is sourced from the world's only low-carbon leather plant.

Starts at $83,500; landrover.com
