All Land Rover vehicles have alluminium body panels. Only the main frame and engine bulkhead will be steel for obvious safety reasons.

TB - in that case, do you know if LR have managed to find an effective way of isolating the aluminium from the steel to avoid the electrolytic reaction that has affected the bodywork of previous models?

All vehicles go through an electro coating process during paint.

The bonnet and boot lids seem to be aluminium on the RRS. Not sure about the main panels - seem like steel to me. Matt

I'm sure if you keep the car for 15 years it will have some signs of corrosion.....somewhere, maybe.
