2016 Land Rover Range Rover SVAutobiography

The 2016 Land Rover Range Rover SVAutobiography receives its power from a finely tuned version of the supercharged 5.0L V8 engine that comes on the Supercharged model. This special tuning helps increase performance to a staggering 550 hp and 502 lb-ft of torque, which is enough for this model to make it from 0 to 60 mph in around just 4.5 seconds. On the other end, you’ll get an eight-speed automatic transmission. The EPA estimates that this model gets 19 mpg highway and 14 mpg city.

The 2016 Land Rover Range Rover SVAutobiography is fully equipped to handle the most difficult driving conditions thanks a full lineup of hardware and features:

• Four-Wheel Drive: The Land Rover Range Rover SVAutobiography comes standard with a full-time four-wheel drive system. This means the four-wheel drive system is constantly engaged.
• Terrain Response: You’ll also be able to engage five different drive modes based on the weather and terrain conditions thanks to the Terrain Response system.
• Terrain Response 2: Upgrade to Terrain Response 2 and the vehicle’s various systems will be able to read the driving conditions and adjust settings automatically.
• All-Terrain Progress Control: On top of that, the All-Terrain Progress Control system engages the Hill Descent Control feature in a specific way that allows the vehicle to essentially remain on cruise control on difficult terrain at up to 20 mph.
• Locking Rear Differential: Exclusive to the top two trims in the Land Rover Range Rover lineup, you’ll also be able to opt for an available active locking rear differential.

The exterior of the 2016 Land Rover Range Rover SVAutobiography has been built to the highest standards of craftsmanship and elegance, projecting composure and greatness wherever it goes. Created by Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), this long wheelbase SUV is offered with 21- and 22-inch High Gloss Polished wheels, while the front grille’s chrome inserts, and graphite atlas mesh on Duo Tone paint models, exude pure opulence. You’ll also be able to advertise the status of your vehicle thanks to the Bright Chrome-finished Range Rover script on the hood and rear tailgate, as well as the one-of-a-kind SV Autobiography badging on the rear of the vehicle.

The interior of the 2017 Land Rover Range Rover is immaculately equipped with the highest quality materials, including perforated, Semi-Aniline leathers from a craft tannery and premium wood, chrome, and veneer trim and accents. Rear seat passengers will enjoy power folding rear tray tables, a cooler box, and footrests, as well as reclining seats. You’ll also have access to a vast lineup of advanced technologies, including a 29-speaker surround-sound Meridian sound system, the InControl Apps and infotainment suite, an entertainment system with dual 10.2-inch rear seat mounted screens and a pair of WhiteFire digital wireless headphones, and much more.
