Customise your Range Rover like nobody else

- Denis Droppa

With a starting price of just over R3m, the latest Range Rover offers the ultimate luxury SUV experience. However, buyers who don’t want their Rangie to look like their neighbour’s can personalis­e it to the hilt with a SV Bespoke commission­ing service.

It is available on the high-end Range Rover Autobiogra­phy and SV models and provides a much wider selection of materials, colours and interior and exterior finishes than normal.

Clients can customise their vehicle at the SV Bespoke Commission­ing Suite in the UK, visit selected global retailers or complete their order online through an exclusive virtual service.

There are more than 230 exterior colours and 391 interior material colourways available. Alternativ­ely, the company can replicate any exterior colour request, providing limitless scope for individual­ity. The bonnet and tailgate script is available in a range of precious metal finishes including 24ct gold.

“Range Rover is synonymous with exclusivit­y and luxury. Now, with the new SV Bespoke commission­ing service, we invite our most discerning clients to become the creator of their truly unique vehicle — choosing the finishes they desire and being guided by our design team,” says Range Rover MD Geraldine Ingham.

TECHNOLOGY UPDATES

The Range Rover also has technology and powertrain enhancemen­ts across the lineup. They include the latest Pivi Pro infotainme­nt system with an elegant 13.1-inch floating glass touchscree­n, and over-the-air software updates.

A new Country Road Assist feature for the adaptive cruise control uses navigation data to automatica­lly adjust the target speed, taking into account bends in the road and changes to the speed limit.

Following its debut in the Range Rover Sport, Dynamic Response Pro4 electric roll control technology has been introduced in the Range Rover. It reduces body lean when cornering for a more relaxing drive.

All-terrain capability is enhanced with adaptive off-road cruise control, which helps drivers maintain steady progress according to the ground conditions. Drivers can focus on steering while the system automatica­lly adjusts the car’s speed.

The new plug-in electric hybrid is more efficient, and is also available with electric hybrid power on the long wheelbase SV model for the first time.

A twin turbo V8 mild-hybrid petrol engine boosts the performanc­e of the range-topping SV model, with outputs of 452kW and 750Nm of torque.
