Land Rover has launched the online configurator for its upcoming next-generation Range Rover and, among the expected plethora of options, there are a few eye-wateringly expensive ones to choose from. Although the configurator reveals that Land Rover will offer buyers a fine selection of standard colors, it will also be available with a few expensive paintjobs as well.
While the Premium Metallic Paints come in
at US$ 1,950, the SV Bespoke Ultra Metallic Paints (gloss finish) ring in at US$ 4,550, and the SV Bespoke Ultra Metallic Paints (satin finish) will cost you US$ 7,450, one color takes the cake. The SV Bespoke Special Effect Paint (satin
finish) Icy White, which is “inspired by the delicate nature of porcelain”,
costs the princely sum of US$ 12,050.
Similarly, the wheel selection can leave
you gasping. Although there is no shortage of reasonably priced optional
wheels, the 23-inch SV Bespoke Forged Style 1079 Black and Dark Grey Gloss
wheels cost a total of US$ 7,240. All in, while picking nearly every option I was
able to push the price of this Range Rover Autobiography P530 AWD Long
Wheelbase Seven Seater up to US$ 199,129.23. That’s US$ 41,779.93 in extras over the US$ 156,000 base price.
Mind you, that’s a bit of a ridiculous
build that includes pet supplies. The standard-wheelbase Range Rover SE starts at US$ 104,000.
Power comes from a range of engines, which top out with a 523 hp 4.4-liter
twin-turbocharged V8. Available to order now, sales are expected to start this
spring in the U.S.
