Range Rover SVAutobiography
The luxury SUV has a new benchmark thanks to the introduction of the Range Rover SVAutobiography.
he new model
delivers a
combination of
craftsmanship and
technology,
epitomising the
pinnacle of luxury travel whether
driver or passenger.
Available exclusively in long
wheelbase, the Range Rover
SVAutobiography combines
advanced new convenience
features, including rear doors that
close at the touch of a button, to
create a sanctuary for relaxation
that doubles as a mobile
technology hub.
A comprehensive 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.
Executive Class rear seats are
central to the appeal of the
luxurious new model. Combined
with the long-wheelbase body,
they offer rear legroom of over
1.2m while deep seat foams with
new comfort interlayers deliver
enhanced passenger wellbeing.
With a powered 40-degree recline
capability, hot stone massage
function, heated calf and foot
rests, the rear cabin promises a
peerless passenger experience.
A dramatic fixed centre console
T
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 than
ever.
With convenience features
providing a first class customer
experience, the attention to detail
delivers new levels of
sophistication. An exclusive new
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 elegant
and intuitive Touch Pro Duo
infotainment system with twin
high-definition touchscreen
controls is a ‘digital butler’ fit for
the 21st Century. Information can
be swiped from one screen to the
other, delivering unrivalled
functionality and ease of use.
Gerry McGovern, Chief Design
Officer, Land Rover, said: “The
Range Rover SVAutobiography is
the epitome of luxury, comfort and
refinement. Our standard-bearer
for quality and precision
exemplifies the attention to detail
and sophistication that has been a
hallmark of our most luxurious
SUV stretching back almost 50
years.”
The Range Rover
SVAutobiography will be hand-
finished exclusively at the SVO
Technical Centre in Warwickshire,
UK, and makes its global motor
show debut at the Los Angeles
International Auto Show on 29
November 2017. The event will see
the new Range Rover
SVAutobiography presented
alongside the extreme Discovery
SVX and the powerful Range

standard wheelbase
SVAutobiography Dynamic, for the
first time.
John Edwards, Managing
Director of Jaguar Land Rover
Special Operations, said: “The
SVAutobiography badge identifies
our most luxurious vehicles in the
same way the SVR and SVX
monikers denote our most potent
and capable derivatives. The
arrival of the enhanced Range
Rover SVAutobiography further
strengthens the peerless luxury
pillar of the SV family.”
