It is the most luxurious and powerful series production Range Rover in the vehicle’s 45-year history and is available with distinctive Duo-tone paintwork and a 550PS V8 petrol engine. This year also marks the 21st anniversary of the introduction of the exclusive Autobiography designation.
Speaking about Land Rover at the Dubai International Motor Show, Bruce Robertson, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover MENA, commented “Land Rover has witnessed a remarkable year with introductions of new and exciting vehicles like the Discovery Sport and the Range Rover Sport SVR, which continue to receive an outstanding response both globally and regionally. With such positive feedback from our customers we are now extremely excited to regionally reveal the Range Rover SVAutobiography at the Dubai International Motor Show alongside some of our most popular Land Rover products including the Range Rover Evoque, the LR4 and the Land Rover Defender.”
He continued: “Land Rover is thrilled to continue its celebration of Range Rover’s 45 year anniversary at the motor show. The Middle East region holds a special affection for this brand and, much like Range Rover, has evolved to become stronger, bigger and bolder over four generations of growth and development.”
RANGE ROVER SVAUTOBIOGRAPHY
Exclusively crafted at Special Vehicle Operations’ (SVO) Technical Centre in the UK, SVAutobiography features unique exterior design enhancements, an exclusive premium leather interior with unique trim finishes and the option of a 550PS 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine for the first time. As a result, the SVAutobiography is the most luxurious and powerful series-production Range Rover in the model’s successful 45-year history.
Available in standard and long wheelbase derivatives, the 2016 Model Year SVAutobiography takes the flagship Range Rover to even greater heights of design sophistication and levels of luxury execution. New features and exquisite detailing further consolidate its position as the world’s most luxurious and capable vehicle.
For the first time on Range Rover, customers of the 2016 Model Year SVAutobiography 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.
Over the last 45 years Range Rover has delivered a series of industry firsts as it has evolved into the peerless SUV we know today. As well as introducing a host of advanced technologies, many of which have since become industry standards, the original Classic model was cited as an ‘exemplary work of industrial design’ when it became the first vehicle to be displayed at the world famous Louvre museum in Paris.
Now in its fourth generation, the Range Rover sits at the pinnacle of the Land Rover brand and matches class-leading off-road capability with a range of state-of-the-art petrol, diesel and Hybrid powertrains to deliver an unrivalled blend of refinement, comfort and capability.
