Land Rover has introduced the locally assembled Range Rover Sport Autobiography in India. The new model starts at Rs 1.6 crore (ex-showroom). Bookings for the vehicle are now open across the country.

Key Highlights

• Land Rover launches locally assembled Range Rover Sport Autobiography in India
• Model starts at Rs 1.6 crore ex showroom with bookings now open
• 3.0 litre petrol and diesel engine options available for local assembly
• 4.4 litre V8 variant continues as a completely built import

Key Features and Specifications

This marks the first time the Autobiography trim is available on the locally manufactured Range Rover Sport in India. The vehicle comes equipped with a 3.0-litre engine. Customers can choose between petrol and diesel variants. The 3.0-litre engine offers a balance of performance and efficiency for Indian buyers.

The Range Rover Sport Autobiography with a 4.4-litre V8 engine remains available as a completely built unit (CBU) import. This means the larger V8 model is not part of the local assembly line and continues to be imported.

Market Context and Availability

The launch of the locally assembled Autobiography trim aims to make the Range Rover Sport more accessible to Indian customers. Local assembly typically helps reduce costs compared to fully imported models. Land Rover’s decision to offer this trim locally reflects growing demand for luxury SUVs in India.

Bookings for the new Range Rover Sport Autobiography are now open at Land Rover dealerships nationwide. The company has not announced delivery timelines yet. The model will compete with other luxury SUVs in the Indian market.

While the 3.0-litre petrol and diesel options are assembled locally, the 4.4-litre V8 variant continues as an import. This provides buyers with a choice between locally assembled and imported versions based on their preferences.
