2019 Range Rover Announced: Everything You Need to Know
Air Suspension
All Range Rover models come standard with four-corner air suspension. When cruising at a speed of 65mph or above, the suspension can lower the vehicle by 0.6-inch to reduce drag.
Access Height lowers the vehicle by as much as 2.0in to aid ingress and egress of the vehicle. This feature can also lock the suspension at this low level, enabling the Range Rover to travel at speeds of up to 25mph in locations with restricted height, such as multi-story parking lots.
Conversely, the ride height can be increased to cater to demanding off-road scenarios, with two bespoke options:
- Off-Road Ride Height 1 lifts the vehicle by as much as 1.6in at speeds of up to 50mph and is ideal for driving on less demanding off-road conditions, such as deeply rutted dirt roads
- For more extreme landscapes or wading through water, Off-Road Ride Height 2 takes the car up to 3.0in above its usual height at speeds of up to 31mph
Owners are also able to control the height of the vehicle’s rear to help with loading and towing. This is managed through switches in the load space and can reduce rear ride height by 2.0in (50mm). In this instance, the front will drop by just 0.8in (20mm) and result in a hitch height reduction of 2.4in (60mm).
Conversely, the rear can also be lifted by as much as 3.5in (90mm) to assist in the hitching of trailers and the adjustment of trailer inclination while stationary. The suspension can be levelled by holding the up and down buttons simultaneously until the vehicle returns to normal.
This user-friendly set-up can also be managed via the key fob, which is particularly effective when the load space is in use and the switches are inaccessible.
Advance Towing Options
The Range Rover is also available with Advanced Tow Assist, which assists the driver in executing complicated reversing maneuvers by automatically steering the vehicle.
All the driver has to do is operate the pedals and select the path of the trailer using the rotary Terrain Response controller on the center console. The path of the trailer is projected on the central touchscreen by a feed from the reverse camera and rotating the controller intuitively adjusts the guidelines ahead of the trailer.
Range Rover SVAutobiography
The Range Rover SVAutobiography delivers a combination of craftsmanship and technology, epitomizing the pinnacle of luxury travel – making every journey a treasured experience whether driving or being driven. Available exclusively in long wheelbase, the luxury SUV combines advanced convenience features, including rear doors that close at the touch of a button, to create a sanctuary for relaxation that doubles as a mobile technology hub. The SVAutobiography features an uprated 557hp 5.0L supercharged V8 gasoline engine mated to a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission which powers the halo model from 0-60mph in 5.2 seconds.
