If BMW and Mercedes-Benz can do it, why can't Land Rover?
The British SUV maker will add style and subtract utility from its legendary
Range Rover with the Range Rover SV Coupe debuting in March at the 2018 Geneva
auto show.
Land Rover on Tuesday revealed a teaser image of the
interior of the 2-door Range Rover to whet the appetites of SUV enthusiasts
worldwide.
However, the Range Rover SV Coupe won't be a mainstream
model like the BMW X6 or Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe. Instead, it will be a
limited-edition model of just 999 units, and it will be hand-assembled at the
SV Technical Center in Ryton-on-Dunsmore in Warwickshire, England.
Combining its 2-door silhouette with a likely raked rear end
in the name of style, the Range Rover SV Coupe will have a beautifully
appointed interior as shown by the photo. The model in the photo has white
front and blue rear bucket seats, both with diamond-pattern leather upholstery.
The interior is bisected by a full-length center console trimmed in wood, and
the dash and door panels are trimmed in white leather to match the front seats.
The contrasting color leather front and rear is a unique approach that we
haven't seen before, and it lends a sense of style. The whole look is certainly
high-end, and it imparts a quality feel that is even better than the usual
Range Rover fare.
Land Rover is sharing no details about what materials are
used for the leather or wood, or what else might make the Range Rover SV's
interior special. If the Range Rover SV Coupe is like the Range
Rover SVAutobiography, it should also feature such amenities as
reclining rear seats with tables, 10-inch touchscreen displays, a hot stone
massage function, and heated calf and footrests. It should also get the
supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 that puts out 550 horsepower (or perhaps more), as
well as sporty chassis tuning. The Range Rover SVAutobiography sells for about
$200,000; expect the Range Rover SV Coupe to sell for considerably more.
Watch for the full reveal and details on the Range Rover SV
Coupe at the Geneva auto show on March 6. To learn about other vehicles
