Why the Range Rover SVAutobiography is More Than Just Another Luxury Car


With the excitement around the release of the 2016 Range Rover SVAutobiography, people are naturally raving about the luxury features of the latest Rover vehicle. It’s understandable, since the SVAutobiography is touted as the most expensive version to date and perhaps the company’s answer to the upcoming Bentley Bentayga and even the Rolls-Royce SUV.

What people should remember is that the Range Rover SVAutobiography should not be dismissed as just another luxury vehicle. According to SVO managing director John Edwards, the “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.” Sure, it aims to lift the social status of the owner (just like other luxury vehicle), but one shouldn’t forget the company’s dedication to increase the already outstanding comfort and safety of a Land Rover car as well.

Info released on the Land Rover website reveals the features of the 2016 model: “All-Terrain Progress Control (ATPC) makes the world-renowned off-road capability of the Range Rover more accessible. Operational from 1.1mph to 19mph (1.8km/h to 30km/h) in forward and reverse gears, ATPC allows an ultra-low creep speed to be set using the steering wheel-mounted cruise-control interface when stationary or when the vehicle is in motion2. This allows the driver to concentrate purely on steering the vehicle over and around obstacles, while it maintains a constant speed that may otherwise be difficult to achieve over very challenging terrain. By reducing driver distractions and optimising traction in this way, ATPC enhances off-road capability and safety. ATPC can be overridden by simply pressing the brake or accelerator.”

Add perks such as beverage chiller compartment, powered deployable tables, aluminium seat rail finishers, and deep twist pile mohair carpets, the Range Rover SVAutobiography is understandably one of the most anticipated 2016 models.
