The 2018 Model Year Range Rover and Range Rover Sport model, featuring updated interior and exterior enhancements, also make their U.S. debuts at the L.A. Show.
Jaguar Land Rover SVO Debuts
The 2018 Range Rover SVAutobiography is the latest product born from the Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations (SVO) division, which creates the ultimate expressions of core Jaguar and Land Rover models –making them even more luxurious (SVAutobiography), better performing (SVR) and more capable (SVX).
Additional vehicles from SVO debuting at the show will be the Range Rover SVAutobiography Dynamic, the 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR and Land Rover Discovery SVX concept; marking the first time ever each of the three SVO product pillars (SVA, SVR, SVX) have been represented together.
First shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, the Land Rover Discovery SVX concept is a production preview of the ultimate Discovery built for off‑road enthusiasts seeking epic adventures; increasing the capability of the fifth‑generation Discovery on a variety of terrains, surfaces and weather conditions with larger tires, supercharged V8 power, a specially tuned Terrain Response® 2 traction management system and for the first time ever, Hydraulic Active Roll Control4.
Already sitting as the fastest Range Rover ever, the 2018 Range Rover Sport SVR takes its performance credentials to the next level; building on key enhancements made to the core Range Rover Sport line‑up for the 2018 model year and adding a more potent 575hp supercharged V8, upgraded brakes, lighter seats and a carbon composite hood. The new Range Rover Sport SVR is capable of 0‑60mph times of 4.3 seconds, on its way to an electronically controlled top speed of 176mph1.
Jaguar Land Rover Electrification
Also shown for the first time in the U.S. are the 2019 MY Range Rover and Range Rover Sport3 gas‑electric plug‑in hybrid (PHEV) models. Offering sustainable luxury and performance, with up to 31 miles of zero‑emission driving2, the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport PHEV models pair the latest consumer technology with an enhanced exterior design; marking the first manifestation of the company’s 2020 commitment to electrify its full model range.
Dr. Ralf Speth, Jaguar Land Rover 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.”
Joining the PHEV Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models on the Jaguar Land Rover show stand, the company will also feature the Jaguar I‑PACE concept; the company’s first fully‑electric production model when it goes on sale in 2018. The commitment to electrification from Jaguar Land Rover goes a step further with the North American debut of the Jaguar I‑PACE eTrophy prototype at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The prototype is further proof of the company's electric intent and previews the world's first single‑make electric racing series that will follow rounds of the 2018/19 FIA Formula E Championship.
