Tata Motors Ltd.’s Land Rover unit has updated its Range Rover SVAutobiography SUV to include more passenger amenities and room.
The long-wheelbase model, which is built on the base Range Rover’s platform, provides 47 inches of rear legroom. The deep-foam rear seats can recline as much as 40° and include heated calf- and foot-rests along with a hot-stone massage function.
Other goodies include twin electrically deployable rear tables with integrated 10-inch touchscreens and 4G wi-fi connectivity. A refrigerator between the rear seats can hold two wine bottles or four 20-oz bottles.
The right-hand rear seat folds to accommodate long items. The center console extends the full length and includes a high-end Zenith clock inspired by the watchmaker's Elite 6150 timepiece.
Occupants can close the doors at the touch of a button. And an optional power veneer load-space floor is designed to make cargo handling easier.
Three powertrains are available, starting with a 4.4-liter V-8 diesel that generates 334 hp. The mid-range turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder unit is teamed with an electric motor in a plug-in hybrid variant that produces a combined 398 hp. The top-of-the-line model borrows the 557-hp supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 from Land Rover’s high-powered Range Rover SVR and SVAutobiography Dynamic.
The SVAutobiography will be hand-finished at Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations technical center in Warwickshire, England. Pricing in the U.K. starts at nearly £167,900 ($224,000).

2019 Chevrolet Blazer Premier AWD
The 2019 Chevy Blazer is the most-complete Chevy I’ve ever driven, as in seemingly every detail of the crossover having been carefully considered and appropriately executed, from the front end that has a design the likes of which is absolutely rare in a category of vehicles that is getting more undifferentiated by the moment to even consideration given to the piping on the IP.

2019 Honda Insight
One of the things that rarely gets the amount of attention that it should in a typical “car review” is the fact that for a considerable amount of time drivers are not “getting on the throttle” because for a considerable number of drivers, they’re “dwelling on the binders,” a.k.a., sitting with their foot depressed on the brakes, perhaps lifting every now and then in order to nudge forward in traffic.
