Land Rover reveals its most luxurious vehicles ever

LAND ROVER has announced details of its most luxurious vehicles ever with the launch of a new long wheelbase version of its flagship Range Rover and the addition of an exclusive specification – the Range Rover Autobiography Black.

The long wheelbase Range Rover has in hinted at for more than 12 months and potential customers will get their first look at the vehicles when they are displayed at the Los Angeles and Guangzhou motors shows next month – both key markets for the vehicle.

It will be the first long wheelbase model in 20 years and JLR said the vehicle had been designed to cater for a growing group of consumers looking for the ultimate SUV.

A re-modelling of the vehicle has seen rear legroom increased by 140mm while the signature floating roof and distinctive Range Rover silhouette have been retained.
Available with either bench or individual Executive Class rear seats, the second row executive style seats can recline to 17 degrees, a full eight degrees more than the nine degrees on the standard wheelbase.

The new Range Rover Autobiography Black will make its debut at the Dubai motor show in early November. It represents the pinnacle of desirability to bring even higher levels of refinement to the world’s finest luxury SUV. The interior has been carefully crafted and tailored to meet customer needs with subtle but distinctive exterior detailing and is appointed and finished with the highest quality leathers and materials.

Phil Popham, Group Marketing Director, Jaguar Land Rover, said: “With the addition of the Range Rover long wheelbase to our portfolio of luxury SUVs, customers can now choose a vehicle that offers superior levels of interior space and comfort to compete in a market dominated by saloon cars up until this point.

“The Range Rover Autobiography Black is our most luxurious specification yet. It epitomises sophisticated design with immaculate attention to detail. The subtle, elegant and luxurious finishing touches combine with a first class experience for both driver and passengers to deliver new levels of exclusivity to our customers.”

Based on over 40 years of experience, the new Range Rover Autobiography Black, left, has been designed and engineered by Jaguar Land Rover’s ‘Engineered To Order’ (ETO) division to deliver an unmatched combination of all-terrain performance, luxury and design.

“The Range Rover Autobiography Black is an opportunity to harness the strong emotional connection that Land Rover has with its customers the world over. This exclusive vehicle has been developed by the specialist Engineered to Order team to offer our customers an unrivalled and luxurious driving experience that provides a seamless integration between the needs of business and leisure,” said John Edwards, Managing Director, Individual Products Division.

Both derivatives are expected to be delivered to customers from March 2014.
