If you’re the kind of person who likes to climb every mountain and ford every stream in a state of total luxury, you might be interested to know that there’s a new special edition Range Rover out.
Called the SVAutobiography, the vehicle will act as a new flagship for the luxury British badge.
Built at Range Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations’ (SVO) Technical Centre in the UK, the SVAutobiography features exterior design enhancements, a leather interior with “unique trim finishes” and the option of a 550PS 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine.
Set to be officially unveiled at the New York Auto Show later this week, Range Rover claims the SVAutobiography is the most luxurious and powerful series-production Range Rover in the model’s 45-year history.
If the interior is anything to go by, the SVAutobiography is meant as much for people who like to be driven around as it is for wealthy people with families. Rear-seat passengers get reclining seats, a chiller compartment and powered deployable tables. Solid aluminium coat hooks are incorporated into the rear pillars while, on the floor, there are aluminium seat rail finishers and deep twist pile mohair carpet mats.
The rear luggage area, always one of the most important parts of a Range Rover now features a sliding floor, designed to make loading and unloading easier and optional leather tailgate seating. Perfect for when you want to be at the polo but need to make a quick getaway.
The SVAutobiography’s smartphone integration meanwhile allows owners to remotely check the fuel level, lock and unlock the doors and flash the lights or sound the horn to help identify the vehicle in crowded car parks
Other technologies designed to make your life easier include an improved Surround Camera System “with crisper graphics for enhanced clarity” and an integrated washer jet for the rear camera.
The new Gesture Tailgate provides hands-free access to the luggage area while Automatic Access Height automatically lowers the vehicle once parked, for improved entry and exit (in other words, short people will no longer battle to get in and out of it).
