Land Rover's 2013 Range Rover made quite a splash at its Paris debut, driving into and out of a shallow pool of water. No loss of life was reported.

As we mentioned earlier, the 2013 Range Rover is 700 pounds lighter than the one it replaces. It will be available in the U.S. with a choice of 5-liter V8s, one supercharged and one naturally aspirated. The more efficient 3-liter diesel hybrid powertrain is for European Range Rovers only.

Land Rover took a measured approach to styling changes. The new Range Rover looks a bit more modern, drawing influences from the 2012 Range Rover Evoque, but overall it isn't a huge departure from last year's model.

U.S. pricing will start at $83,500 including destination, with top-level models coming in just shy of $131,000.

The 2012 Paris motor show—or Mondial de l'Automobile, as it is officially known––will take place Sept. 27 through Oct. 14. It occurs every two years, alternating with the Frankfurt motor show in Germany. Paris is a showcase for the latest in design, but automakers will also be showing off their latest concept cars, green cars and supercars.
