LOS ANGELES: The Range Rover SVAutobiography has been unveiled ahead of the opening of the LA Auto Show, marking it as Land Rover’s most luxurious SUV.
Order books open tomorrow and the vehicle is priced in Britain from £167,850 (RM916,000).
Available only in long wheelbase, the Range Rover SVAutobiography combines new convenience features, including rear doors that close at the touch of a button, to create a place for relaxation that doubles as a mobile technology hub.
A range of powertrain options includes an advanced new plug-in hybrid electric-petrol, with an EV range of up to 31 miles, and an uprated 565hp V8 supercharged petrol engine.
Combined with the long-wheelbase body, the Executive Class rear seats offer legroom of over 1.2m while deep seat foams with new comfort interlayers deliver better passenger wellbeing. There’s a powered 40-degree recline capability, hot stone massage function and heated calf and foot rests to convince you that your money is well spent.
A fixed centre console extends the full length of the cabin and the new model also allows passengers to close the rear doors using conveniently located buttons on the rear console.
Electrically deployable rear tables and integrated 10” touchscreen rear entertainment screens ensure customers can use the 4G WiFi connectivity to work or relax in comfort, while a concealed refrigerator between the twin rear seats can hold two wine bottles or four 600ml bottles. The right-hand rear seat folds to accommodate long items and customers can also specify a Power Deployable Veneered Loadspace Floor for the first time, making loading and unloading luggage easier.
A Zenith clock features on the rear centre console, inspired by the Elite 6150 watch. Its knurled bezel complements the finish on the start/stop button, gear selector and pedals.
Jaguar Land Rover’s Touch Pro Duo infotainment system with twin high-definition touchscreen controls allows information to be swiped from one screen to the other.
The Range Rover SVAutobiography will be hand-finished at the SVO Technical Centre in Warwickshire, and makes its global motor show debut here tomorrow.
The event will see the Range Rover SVAutobiography presented alongside the extreme Discovery SVX and the powerful Range Rover Sport SVR, as well as the standard wheelbase SVAutobiography Dynamic, for the first time.
“The SVAutobiography badge identifies our most luxurious vehicles in the same way the SVR and SVX monikers denote our most potent and capable derivatives,” said Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations managing director John Edwards.
“The arrival of the enhanced Range Rover SVAutobiography further strengthens the luxury pillar of the SV family.”
