Mahwah, NJ – Wednesday, May 17, 2023: Range Rover is setting a new modern luxury benchmark with the introduction of an SV Bespoke commissioning service, offering clients enhanced levels of personalization and refinement.

The service is available on Range Rover Autobiography and SV models, while a suite of enhancements across the line-up maintains Range Rover vehicle’s status as perhaps the world’s most desirable luxury SUV. Range Rover is considered the original luxury SUV and has led by example for more than 50 years, combining serene comfort and composure with extraordinary capability.

Further updates to Range Rover include the latest generation Pivi Pro infotainment, while the new plug-in electric hybrid is more powerful than before. Range Rover V8 now features mild hybrid technology, a new 606hp variant is introduced on the exclusive Range Rover SV for ultimate power.

SV BESPOKE

The SV Bespoke commissioning service represents the pinnacle of personalization and is available on Range Rover Autobiography and Range Rover SV. To achieve their perfect specification, clients can curate their Range Rover vehicle at the SV Bespoke Commissioning Suite in the UK, visit selected global retailers or for the ultimate convenience, complete their order online through an exclusive virtual service.

SV Bespoke provides access to a vast range of materials, and interior and exterior finishes. Clients follow a unique and comprehensive seven-step creation process that considers colors, themes, SV exclusive options, materials, veneers and finishers, customizations and personalization. Each finished vehicle promises to be as unique as its creator, although curated design combinations chosen by the Range Rover Design team are available to help clients make their dreams a reality.

Inside, there are up to 391 material colorways available, while the curated SV Bespoke paint palette comprises more than 230 colors in satin and gloss finishes. Alternatively, the SV Bespoke Match to Sample paint service can replicate any exterior color request, providing limitless scope for individuality.

The level of craftsmanship available from the experts at SV Bespoke is exemplified by the attention to detail lavished on the Range Rover hood and tailgate script, which is available in a range of precious metal finishes including 24ct gold.  

POWERTRAIN CHOICE

The Range Rover vehicle’s extensive powertrain line-up has also been enhanced. The new powerful plug-in electric hybrid engine in the P550e feature a new 160kW electric motor which, when combined with the 3.0-litre six-cylinder Ingenium gas engine, produces 542hp.

The enhanced technology provides improved acceleration the P550e can sprint from or 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds, down from 5.2 seconds.

The effortless V8 uses Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology for the first time. The MHEV system delivers increased efficiency by harvesting energy captured when decelerating and braking, and improved responses as the stored energy is redeployed under acceleration.

A twin turbo V8 MHEV gas engine is also introduced and exclusive to the Range Rover SV, featuring an enhanced power output of 606hp and 553 lb-ft , delivering smooth and powerful performance.

INTEGRATED TECHNOLOGY

The Range Rover vehicles luxurious interior combines effortless connectivity and intuitive technology like never before with the latest generation Pivi Pro infotainment. It provides a crisp and intuitive interface, enabling clients to control key vehicle functions via the elegant 13.1-inch floating glass touchscreen.

New sidebars with easy-to-use sliding controls for the volume and climate control provide immediate and precise operation for key functions directly, whatever menu screen is displayed, and approximately 80 percent of tasks can be performed within two taps of the home screen. Haptic feedback provides an added level of tactility and communication with the user.

Integrated Amazon Alexa voice AI and Land Rover voice control systems help drivers to keep their eyes on the road while making changes to the cabin environment. Advanced Software Over The Air capability works to keep the Range Rover vehicle always up to date with the latest software, enabling the vehicle and its features to improve with age.

New Country Road Assist technology features for the first time on Range Rover to enhance passenger comfort and reduce driver effort when using Adaptive Cruise Control. The intelligent system uses navigation data to automatically adjust the target speed, taking into account bends in the road and changes to the speed limit, accelerating or decelerating the vehicle accordingly.

Following its debut in the Range Rover Sport, Dynamic Response Pro takes driving composure to new heights. The powerful electric roll control technology is designed to reduce body lean when cornering for a more engaging drive, using actuators capable of delivering up to 1033 lb-ft of torque to each axle.

The Range Rover vehicle’s unmatched all-terrain capability is also enhanced with the introduction of Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control. A feature of the advanced Terrain Response® 2 system, it helps drivers navigate tricky terrain by maintaining steady progress according to the ground conditions. Drivers can select one of four comfort settings and the system intelligently adjusts the vehicle’s speed accordingly, allowing the driver to focus solely on steering a path across tricky terrain. 

The enhanced Range Rover line-up is available now priced from $107,400 in the US.
