When last did you look at a new Range Rover and think that it wasn’t luxurious enough? We’ve never thought that and we doubt that many customers have thought that. Well, it turns out that someone out there reckons that the Range Rover can be more luxurious, we suspect that it was Land Rover themselves. Anyways, they have decided to add some extra exclusivity to their most luxurious model in the form of the Range Rover SV Autobiography.
Range Rover SV Autobiography is the pinnacle of the Range Rover line-up. It offers unparalleled exclusivity courtesy of a bespoke exterior design, uniquely tailored interior touches and it makes use of the brands high-performance V8 Supercharged power-plant.
The V8 Supercharged SV Autobiography also happens to be the most powerful Range Rover in history – thanks to its 405kW – while maintaining the outstanding off-road capability and unrivalled luxury for which Range Rover is world-renowned. It comes with the brilliant ZF eight-speed automatic transmission which continues to offer seamless gear changes and an adaptive-shift logic feature that intelligently adjusts to driver behaviour. The Range Rover SV Autobiography is available in both long wheelbase and standard wheelbase derivatives with the full line-up of Range Rover’s powertrains, for those that prefer a diesel to a petrol model.
The SV Autobiography takes the Range Rover brand to even greater heights of design sophistication and levels of luxury execution. New features and exquisite detailing further consolidate its position as one of the world’s most luxurious and capable vehicles.
For the first time on Range Rover, customers of the SV Autobiography are able to specify a unique Duo-tone body colour option. The combination of Santorini Black upper body and nine colour choices for the lower body create true distinction and individualism. We here at Autodealer quite like this option.
Inside the luxurious cabin, much of the driver’s switchgear including the start-stop surround and rotary controls are machined from solid aluminium with beautiful knurled details, as are the foot pedals. This detailing continues to both the front and rear centre console, with distinctive materials for the cup holder areas and power socket covers. The new armrest adjusters not only bring a similar level of machined detail, but also make them even easier to use.
Rear-seat passengers can relax in luxurious seating complete with a cool compartment and powered deployable tables. Solid aluminium coat hooks are incorporated into the rear pillars while, on the floor, aluminium seat rail finishers and deep twist pile mohair carpet mats complete the feeling of sumptuous comfort.
For customers who enjoy the versatility of Range Rover’s split tailgate, Special Vehicle Operations has developed ‘Event Seating’. Stowed in the luggage compartment, Event Seating can be quickly and easily deployed to provide comfortable seats for two adults on the tailgate. Hand crafted from beautiful stitched Windsor leather with a highly durable aluminium frame, this option will appeal to those who appreciate the duality of Range Rover’s ‘business and pleasure’ characteristics.
The luxury continues to items that aren’t even attached to the car, customers can expect a leather-covered handbook and even a polished Autobiography key fob in knurled finish which adds the finishing touches.
The Range Rover SV Autobiography, along with the updated Range Rover 2016 Model Year line-up, is available to order through Land Rover dealerships as of the beginning of this month.
