New Range Rover to debut in New York

JAGUAR Land Rover’s new Range Rover SVAutobiography is to make its debut at this week’s New York International Auto Show.

The West Midlands automotive firm describes it as the most powerful production Range Rover ever with 550PS V8 a supercharged engine specially tuned for the model.

The SVAutobiography has been produced by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations.

Speaking ahead of the model’s world premiere in New York, Land Rover’s design director and chief creative officer Gerry McGovern said: “With the SVAutobiography we have taken the opportunity to optimise the Range Rover’s luxury execution and precision while delivering beautiful detailing that considerably enhances the customer’s experience of our flagship vehicle.”

SVAutobiography features exterior design enhancements, a leather interior with unique trim finishes and the option of a 550PS 5.0-litre V8 supercharged engine for the first time.

JLR says that, as a result, the SVAutobiography is the most luxurious and powerful series-production Range Rover in the model’s successful 45-year history.

John Edwards, managing director of Jaguar Land Rover Special Operations, said: “Range Rover originally defined the luxury SUV segment and the new SVAutobiography, developed by Special Vehicle Operations, takes Range Rover to another level of comfort, craftsmanship and refinement.”

Priced from £148,900, the Range Rover SVAutobiography will be on sale from summer 2015.
