Range Rover SVAutobiography INTERIOR 2016 Review Commercial - 2017 NCR TV HD

The Range Rover is a full-sized four-wheel drive sport utility vehicle (SUV) produced by Land Rover, and serves as its flagship model. Land Rover is one of several auto manufacturers owned by Tata Motors, a part of the Indian multinational conglomerate Tata Group. The Range Rover was launched in 1970. It is now in its fourth generation. Land Rover has expanded the Range Rover model line to include different designs: the Range Rover Evoque and the Range Rover Sport. The fourth generation Range Rover, codenamed L405 was exhibited in September 2012 at the 2012 Paris Motor Show.[13]The Range Rover Hybrid is diesel-powered hybrid electric model unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. The ordering process began in September 2013, and retail deliveries in Europe are slated to start in early 2014.[14]The success of Jaguar Land Rover since its formation in 2008 is reflected largely in the rising sales of the Range Rover. In 2009, as a severe recession took hold, just over 22,000 were sold. Four years later, it sold more than twice as many units, with more than 45,000 being sold. By 2015, Range Rover sales worldwide exceeded 60,000. This table excludes Range Rover Sport and Evoque. A Range Rover was used to win the 1979 inaugural and 1981 Paris–Dakar Rally, completing a race distance in each case of approx 10,000 km.[16] Range Rovers also competed in the East African Safari throughout the 1980s.[17] On 26 November 2004, Land Rover released the first photographs of the Range Rover Sport, a new model it planned to show to the public for the first time at the 2005 North American International Auto Show. The Range Rover Sport is a production car development of the Range Stormer concept vehicle the company showcased in the 2004 North American International Auto Show. Though called the Range Rover Sport "L319", it was not merely a new specification within the Range Rover line-up, but rather an adapted Discovery "L320", or T5 Platform Discovery/LR3 with Range Rover exterior styling and Range Rover interior seating and dash forms, a shortened wheelbase, smaller luggage capacity and a single rather than split tailgate which was angled back for styling improvements. With entry model pricing close to upper Discovery models, the Sport became the biggest seller of all the Land Rover products. This model was released for sale in late 2005 as a 2006 model.In 2013 a redesigned version was released for sale as a 2014 model year "L494". Unlike the original and current Discovery, it is does not have a steel chassis rails but is based on the new D7u alloy Platform, which much more resembles current flagship Range Rover with closer equipment levels and capabilities in a smaller body style. Hence the L494 Range Rover Sport is around 400 kg lighter than the previous generation and benefits in performance due to its weight reduction. The Range Rover Evoque, which went into production in July 2011, has its roots in the Land Rover LRX concept car; with which it bears an almost identical resemblance. It is available with either a three-door or five-door hatchback body, front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive and with a 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine or one of two different power output 2.2-litre turbo-diesel engines.In 2012, at the Geneva Motor Show, Land Rover unveiled a convertible concept, which featured four seats and a drop-down tailgate.[18] The 2016 Range Rover Autobiography L is the long-wheelbase flagship vehicle from Britain-based Land Rover, whose cult-like buyers take their rides to the ends of the earth, or at least the local high-end mall. Highly capable thanks to its myriad off-road technologies, the Range Rover can negotiate lava-covered roadbeds, ford streams up to its hoodline and ascend inclines that would intimidate a mountain goat.With its rhino-like toughness, it can almost do it all. Our Autobiography package-equipped tester is positioned at the pinnacle of the Range Rover hierarchy, meaning it’s awash in creature comforts that would be suitable for a Prince. Everything from full leather seating, to a rear seat entertainment package, 18-way front seats with massage, heating and ventilation are included. And we can’t look past the 1,700-watt Meridian audio system with 3D surround sound and LED mood lighting (as if!).Power comes from a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 engine with auto stop/start technology, which whomps the pavement with an incredible 510-horsepower and 461 lb-ft of stump-pulling torque. And if the need for such output does not exist, regular-wheelbase models can also be had with a new 340-horsepower supercharged 3.0-liter V6. Although nearly as powerful as the naturally-aspirated 5.0-liter V8 it replaces, the V6 offers a 20-percent improvement in fuel economy.
