To close out the Range Rover Autobiography posts – here are some of the listed options for the US-spec – there aren’t many.
We do see the:
Seat Pack ‘Style 3’ – which is the full rear sear treatment, heated & cooled, reclining and the upgraded headrests for $2500.
Climate Pack – Automatic four zone air conditioning, climate controlled windscreen and front side glass for $1000
An option I couldn’t care less about: Half wood Leather steering wheel & Gearknob Pack for $1000.
Surround Camera System (includes Tow Assist) for $800 – this one really should be standard on the Autobiography
Audio System – LOGIC7® Hi-Fi (1,200 Watt 19 speakers surround sound harmon/kardon® system) – they list no price on this one, but I don’t believe it was standard on the Autobiography – probably just a mistake on the website – they don’t always proof it so well.
And finally – Audio System – Digital radio (HD) for $350.

This isn’t really new info, but I felt it was worth posting this too. The three new wood trim types are $2300/ea. I’d like to see them in person. The Burr Walnut has such a flat plastic look at times, I wonder how much better the glossier upgrades are.

Here are the full color choice for the US-spec Range Rover Autobiography. The “Designer’s choice” combination was made with Santorini Black. And it appears that most duo tone options don’t cost extra.

Just browsed over to the Land Rover US site and it now has a lot more in common with the UK site. The actual layout with expanding boxes is just like the UK site. I wasn’t all that crazy about it there, but I guess we don’t have a choice anymore. The whole site seems a bit flat. The Build & Price section now actually lists the Range Rover Autobiography. I hope I don’t bore anyone, but these next few posts will be dedicated to the new Autobiography specific info we have for US models. They have finally official acknowledged the Duo-Tone interiors with pricing along with a lot of exterior color choices.
So the colors above are the standard no charge selections – below is where it starts to get interesting. Now you can really make it an Autobiography.

Great video showing the Range Rover Sport Supercharged – while being a great overall video, he does go into real detail on the iPod functionality – first time I’ve seen that on video – check it out:
