Land Rover launches luxury Range Rover SUV coupe
Nearly 50 years ago, Land Rover introduced the first Range Rover, creating the luxury SUV segment. Today, the company continues to define a new concept with the world's first full-size luxury SUV coupe.
At the 2018 Geneva Motor Show (Switzerland), the British luxury car company officially launched the all-new Range Rover SV Coupe. This Coupe was introduced to honor the value of the Range Rover models in the 70s.
Created by Land Rover Design and Special Vehicle Operations, SV Coupé is a true Range Rover, and only 999 will be built.
In terms of design, except for the hood and the lower part of the rear trunk, the entire exterior frame of the 2-door Range Rover SV Coupe is made of new aluminum panels, including the front and rear bumpers.
The new two-part grille features a Brunel Metallic rear grille that continues the bright Chrome front grille and Satin Indus Silver metallic surround.
The pixel laser LED headlight system consists of 144 LED bulbs and 4 laser bipolar lamps providing 5 times more light than conventional LED lights with automatic anti-glare headlight mode.
The SV Coupe’s interior is a modern space filled with light, with every detail taken care of to the maximum. The 20-way power front seats have heating and cooling functions, and the 10-way power rear seats are upholstered in special semi-aniline leather with a diamond pattern created by a renowned tannery established in 1905.
Like the latest Range Rover, the SV Coupe features wider, thicker seat cushions with a multi-layer design for superior comfort, and three wood interior finishes (Nautatica, Natural Black Ash and Santos Palisander) for the steering wheel, door panels, centre console, dashboard and boot floor.
The Range Rover SV Coupe is equipped with the InControl Touch Pro Duo infotainment system including a 10-inch display, a 10-inch control screen and a 12-inch interactive driver display, a 10-inch color head-up display that provides sequential operating information.
The car also has Meridian's signature 1700w, 23-speaker 3D sound system with a 2-channel subwoofer integrated with 3D technology.
In terms of operation, the Range Rover SV Coupe uses a supercharged 5.0-liter V8 petrol engine producing 565 horsepower, maximum torque of 700Nm, with an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission with a rotary selector knob and paddle shifters. The permanent four-wheel drive system with a two-speed transfer case and Active Rear Differential Locking function ensures the vehicle operates on all terrains, with additional support from the Terrain Response 2 system that programs Dynamic, Eco, and Comfort driving modes on different terrains.
The car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.0 seconds and has a top speed of 266 km/h.
Compared to the standard Range Rover, the SV Coupe’s ride height has been reduced by 8mm to deliver more dynamic driving performance and enhanced aesthetics. The vehicle will automatically lower by 15mm at speeds of 105km/h or more to increase stability and save fuel.
The specific selling price of the Range Rover SV Coupe has not yet been disclosed by the manufacturer.
