The global premieres of two Range Rovers – the Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic and the Range Rover Sport SVR –took place today (November 14) on the Jaguar Land Rover stand at the 2017 Dubai International Motor Show.

The new 2018 Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic and Range Rover Sport SVR were seen publicly for the first time in the world at the Middle East’s most important automotive showcase event, with each benefiting from significant upgrades and enhancements over its predecessor model.

As products of Jaguar Land Rover’s SVO division, the newcomers will be exclusively produced with a range of exterior and interior colour palette choices, styling and equipment options for customers to select from.

“As the owner of a Range Rover you are already in an exclusive club,” said Bruce Robertson, Managing Director of Jaguar Land Rover Mena. “With the Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic and Range Rover Sport SVR from our SVO division, new owners will be entering even more rarefied territory and truly reaching the very pinnacles of comfort and performance in the luxury SUV segment.”

In the case of the new Range Rover Sport SVR, that performance will come courtesy of the marque’s well-proven 5.0-litre V8 petrol engine which has been uprated to produce 575PS and 700Nm of torque. The net result of this power uplift when combined with 26kg of weight saving measures is a 0 – 100km/h acceleration time of 4.5 seconds and a maximum speed of 283km/h.

The SVAutobiography Dynamic raises the stakes in terms of comfort and exclusivity whilst also improving its performance. The power output derived from its 5.0-litre Supercharged V8 petrol engine is raised to 565PS.Corresponding chassis calibrations will make the most of this increase while enhancing the benefits of the comfort driving mode found on core Range Rover models.

The interior is available in four colour ways – Ebony/Ebony, Ebony/Pimento, Ebony Cirrus and Ebony/Vintage Tan. These are complemented by two veneer choices – Steel Weave Carbon Fibre or Grand Black as a no cost option, with finishers in Dark Brushed Aluminium.  

Robertson added: “We at Jaguar Land Rover know how much our Middle East customers value that very rare combination of high performance, ultra-luxury and genuine exclusivity in a vehicle. In both the astonishingly quick 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR and the supremely opulent 2018 Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic they will find these highly prized characteristics in abundance. Choosing one over the other may be the most difficult choice a Range Rover owner may ever have to make!”

The revised core Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models for 2018 will also be making their regional debuts at the Dubai International Motor Show, a statement said. – TradeArabia News Service
