1. The Autobiography package
When specifying your Range Rover, one has the option of three specification levels, of which the Autobiography is the flagship amongst the standard-length models. This top-spec package includes Pixel LED headlights with DRLs, 21-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, Terrain Response 2, All Terrain Progress Control, a panoramic roof, perforated semi-aniline leather seats, a Meridian sound system, 24-way heated and cooled massage front seats, executive rear seats and Lane Departure Warning.
2. Special paint
With a list price of R114 100 along with the need for an added Surround Camera system priced at R5 100, the cost of the Special Paint option will set you back about the same amount as a pre-owned budget car. The colour options include Meribel White Pearl, Valloire White Pearl, Spectral Blue, Spectral British Racing Green and Spectral Racing Red. Nothing shouts exclusivity quite like an expensive paint job.
3. Argento Pinstripe veneer
There are seven genuine wood trim options available for the Range Rover. To secure bragging rights amongst your friends, it only makes sense to choose the most expensive, which in this case is the Argento Pinstripe, at R21 700. While you’re at it, add the wood and leather steering wheel option for R8 300.
4. Meridian Signature Sound System
While the standard Meridian system would likely suffice, the Signature series features Trifield 3D technology that ensures an authentic surround sound experience. It’s all your for R63 500.
5. Park Pro Pack
The Range Rover is an enormous vehicle, meaning that parking assistance is a welcome addition. The R12 300 Park Pro Pack includes Park Assist, Clear Exit Monitor, Rear Traffic Monitor and a 360-degree parking aid to ensure that your expensive paint remains intact.
Price as specified: Standard Wheelbase Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 Litre LR-SDV8 Supercharged Diesel (250kW) Automatic R3 149 992.
