Land Rover has taken the wraps off the 2018 Range
Rover SVAutobiography ahead of the LA Auto Show. Based around the facelifted
Range Rover, the new SVAutobiography is a product of Jaguar Land Rover’s
Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) department that aims “to create a sanctuary
for relaxation that doubles as a mobile technology hub.”
Step inside the overhauled interior and you’ll find
two large, ‘Executive Class’ rear seats that offer over 1.2 meters of legroom
and can be reclined by 40 per cent. Additionally, they include a hot stone
massage function as well as heated calf and foot rests. Rear seat passengers
will also be able to enjoy a large fixed center console that incorporates a
number of different controls for the vehicle.
If passengers want to relax or work, the Range Rover
SVAutobiography provides two rear tables and integrated 10-inch touchscreen
entertainment screens. There’s also 4G WiFi, a small refrigerator that can
house two wine bottles or four 600 ml bottles, and a Power Deployable Veneered
Loadspace Floor that allows for easy loading and unloading.
Customers of the Range Rover SVAutobiography have
the option of a supercharged 5.0-liter V8, 4.4-liter V8 or a plug-in hybrid
that uses a 2.0-liter turbo four and an electric motor and lithium-ion battery
pack. It delivers a total of 398 hp, more than enough to shift the huge SUV at
a respectable pace.
