Range Rover is one of the most respected names in the automotive industry, having practically invented the genre of the luxury SUV, and manufacturing a suite of models that still represent the quintessential luxury SUV today, combining enviable and sumptuous design and features with practicality, usability, and the makings of a Land Rover off-roading machine. However, beyond being one of the most influential luxury SUV manufacturers, Range Rover is one of the most important British marques in the entire automotive industry, and the capital of its home country, London, serves as inspiration for a new lineup of special edition Range Rovers.
With centuries if not millenia of history, some of the richest culture, and one of the largest populations in the world, London is rich with places, stories, and traditions with which to inspire the creation of something like a special edition Range Rover, and Range Rover has just unveiled the beginning of a new collection of London-inspired vehicles: the Range Rover Evoque Hoxton Edition and the Range Rover Velar Belgravia Edition.
Range Rover has its own deep connection with the city of London, as 1999’s Range Rover Linley Edition was inspired by the iconic luxury of the Mayfair area of the city, and the 50th Anniversary Edition Range Rover featured Henry Poole & Co. custom fabric, combining Range Rover Heritage with Savile Row craftsmanship.
Starting the collection, the Evoque, combining a city-ready footprint with Range Rover capability and luxury, is given a twist that is inspired by the Hoxton neighborhood of London, which is known for a concentration of creativity and innovation. Satin Gold wheels, Platinum Atlas exterior styling, custom door sills and puddle lamps, as well as a leather-upholstered interior with contrast stitching and black brushed aluminum details, combine classic luxury with an energetic spirit.
The new Range Rover Velar Belgravia Edition is inspired by the classic Georgian architecture and luxury lifestyle that Belgravia is known for. To achieve that inspiration, details throughout the vehicle, like Satin Black Lacquer accenting the 20-inch Dark Agate wheels, custom door sills, puddle lights, and contrast-stitched leather like the Evoque Hoxton Edition, combine to evoke classic luxury. Adding Satin Protective Film to the Velar for the first time, the Range Rover Velar Belgravia Edition Satin will be made in a limited run of 400 models, each of which will be marked as a 1-of-400 creation.
However, those two models are just the beginning of the London-inspired collection. Two more models will be arriving in the spring: the Range Rover Sport Battersea Edition and the Range Rover Westminster Edition. The Range Rover Evoque Hoxton Edition and Range Rover Velar Belgravia Edition are available to order on January 15, showcasing luxury, capability, stunning craftsmanship, and design inspired by one of the world’s greatest cities.
