"InControl Touch Pro" can be enhanced with an optional communication function, allowing conversation with an operator by pressing a button above the interior in case of roadside assistance or a passenger's sudden illness. Furthermore, the system enables vehicle location tracking, trip data, remote climate control, and locking via an app.


For safety, the Blind Spot Monitor, which detects vehicles approaching from behind and flashes a warning on the mirror, and the Blind Spot Assist, which applies counter-steering force to avoid collisions when the driver attempts a lane change, are now available as options.



The 2017 Range Rover lineup also introduces the "SVAutobiography Dynamic" grade, designed and developed by Jaguar Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations (SVO). This model is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 supercharged engine delivering 550ps and 680Nm of torque. Its unique suspension optimizes performance and handling, and the vehicle sits 8mm lower than standard models. The exterior features exclusive designs and a variety of colors, while the interior offers a luxurious space.
