If Land Rover’s Indian owners would have felt inclined to, the new Range Rover Long-Wheelbase Autobiography Black model, finished in the exclusive Valloire White Paint, would have ended up being embarrassingly expensive, but thankfully they stopped piling on at $199,500. It’s a hefty price to pay, but thankfully it includes the $895 destination and delivery charge; available as of March 2014.
They justify this fairly high price tag with opulent extravagances such as “individualized front and rear seating package with a bespoke seat cover design,” and a bespoke “rear center console includes electrically deployable tables covered in black leather with integrated USB charging sockets and cup holders.”
There’s configurable LED mood lighting (with 10 colors to choose from), perforated leather door inserts and the obligatory tread plates with a backlit “Autobiography Black” inscription, to literally name but a few.
Naturally, all this and more can be endlessly customized and trimmed in a wide assortment of leathers.
Thankfully, if you don’t need all that bespoke treatment in your life, then you will more than happily make do with the base long-wheelbase Range, a model that’s also making its global debut alongside the posh Autobiography at the Los Angeles motor show. It starts at a slightly easier to digest $106,195, or exactly $22,000 dearer than the short model.
Land Rover says the extra cash grants an additional 7.3 inches (18.5 cm) of rear legroom; all come with tilting individual rear seatbacks that will have a 17-degree range of motion – that’s 8 degrees more than the regular model can muster. Powered window blinds, a panoramic sunroof and unique L badges on the lower front door trims complete list of unique lwb touches.
