3 Things To Know About Shikhar Dhawan’s Latest Ride, The Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography


The Range Rover sits at the pinnacle of off-road capable luxury SUVs

Shikhar Dhawan, the opening batsman of the Indian cricket team, has added the Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography to his car collection, marking the beginning of a new drive for him. Dhawan recently shared a video on Instagram, showing him enjoying his black SUV and grooving to a Punjabi song. Here are three key highlights about the Range Rover that you should know.

Opulent Interiors

The Range Rover Autobiography offers luxurious interiors comparable to a five-star hotel room on wheels. Inside, it features Semi-Aniline leather seats with SV Bespoke Duo Tone Leather headlining. The cabin is equipped with comfort-enhancing features such as 24-way heated and cooled massage electric front seats, executive class rear seats, four-zone climate control, and a Meridian surround sound system. It also comes with a 13.1-inch touchscreen system that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

A Plethora Of Powertrain Options

The Range Rover Autobiography offers multiple powertrain options, including petrol and diesel engines. The 3-litre six-cylinder petrol engine generates 400PS/550Nm, while the 3-litre diesel engine produces 350PS/700Nm. There is also a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 variant that delivers 530PS/750Nm and can accelerate from 0 to 100kmph in 4.7 seconds. All engines are combined with 48-V mild hybrid motors and an 8-speed automatic transmission that transfers power to all four wheels. The specific powertrain in Shikhar Dhawan’s Range Rover is unknown.

Still A Land Rover

Although the Range Rover Autobiography offers luxurious features, it still retains the off-road capabilities associated with Land Rover vehicles. It features Land Rover’s Terrain Response 2 system, which includes eight terrain modes such as rock crawl, grass, gravel, mud and ruts, sand, snow, and an auto mode. It also has a general driving mode suitable for muddy or waterlogged surfaces. The SUV has a water wading capacity of 900mm.
The Range Rover Autobiography’s dynamics are enhanced by all-wheel steering, an electronic air suspension system, and an open differential with torque vectoring by braking, which optimizes traction from the rear axle during high-speed cornering. It also controls understeer or oversteer by applying controlled brakes and monitoring torque distribution.

Price & Rivals

The Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography is priced between Rs 2.39 crore and Rs 4.17 crore (ex-showroom pan India). It competes with the Lexus LX and Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS, while the top variant is priced similarly to the Bentley Bentayga.
