Whitley, Coventry, UK, 15 November 2017 – The Range Rover SVAutobiography will take luxury to a new level on its global premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The new model is the latest peerless product from Special Vehicle Operations, which creates the ultimate Jaguar and Land Rover models in unique combinations of luxury (SVAutobiography), performance (SVR) and capability (SVX).
Making their North American show debuts alongside the new Range Rover SVAutobiography and SVAutobiography Dynamic are the Range Rover Sport SVR – the fastest Range Rover to date – and the Land Rover Discovery SVX, a production preview of the ultimate Discovery for off-road enthusiasts seeking epic adventures.
The new petrol-electric plug-in hybrid Range Rover and Range Rover Sport also appear in the US for the first time. Both offer sustainable luxury and performance, with up to 50 kilometres of zero-emission driving. They are part of the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport ranges that make their US debuts with the latest consumer technology and enhanced exterior design.
North America also gets a first look at the Jaguar E-PACE compact performance SUV, the powerful Jaguar XJR575 flagship sedan and the stylish, spacious Jaguar XF Sportbrake.
These premium vehicles with next-generation technology and the best of British design are on display at the LA Convention Center from 1-10 December.
The new plug-in hybrid models demonstrate Jaguar Land Rover's commitment to electrification. Dr Ralf Speth, Chief Executive Officer, said: "From 2020 every new Jaguar Land Rover model line will be electrified, giving our customers even more choice. We will introduce a portfolio of electrified products across our model range, embracing fully electric, plug-in hybrid and mild hybrid vehicles. Our first fully electric performance SUV, the Jaguar I-PACE, goes on sale next year."
The Jaguar I-PACE eTrophy prototype is further proof of the company's electric intent. It previews the world's first single-make electric racing series that starts in 2018.
Also on display will be the Jaguar FUTURE-TYPE, a vision for the car of 2040 and beyond. The fully autonomous virtual concept explores mobility for the connected world of tomorrow, where vehicles could be shared not owned.
