Compare the defining features, luxury appointments, and standard equipment across the Range Rover SE, Autobiography, and SV trim levels. Find your ideal balance of refinement and performance.
The current flagship Range Rover lineup is structured around three primary pillars: SE, Autobiography, and the bespoke SV (Special Vehicle Operations).
While previous generations often heavily featured the "HSE" (High Specification Equipment) designation as a standalone trim, the modern lineup integrates these high-end features directly into upgraded powertrain models (e.g., opting for the plug-in hybrid or a higher-output V8 often bundles HSE-level equipment) or positions buyers toward the ultra-luxurious Autobiography.
Every trim level is available with standard and long-wheelbase options, allowing for extensive personalization regardless of the entry point you choose.

The Autobiography trim elevates the cabin to first-class standards. It caters to those who appreciate fine details, adding standard massaging front seats, SV Bespoke full extended leather upgrades, and the immersive Meridian™ Signature Sound System.
Crafted by Special Vehicle Operations, the SV represents the pinnacle of Land Rover luxury. It offers exclusive design themes (SV Serenity and SV Intrepid), hand-finished ceramic interior details, and the most powerful V8 engine in the lineup.

The SE is the highly equipped standard trim for the Range Rover. HSE (High Specification Equipment) historically adds premium upgrades like larger wheels, upgraded leather, and enhanced driver assistance. In modern lineups, HSE features are often bundled with specific higher-tier powertrains (like PHEV models) rather than existing as a standalone trim.
The Autobiography and SV trims come standard with the elite Meridian™ Signature Sound System, which features 35 speakers (including speakers in the headrests) and Active Noise Cancellation for a world-class auditory experience.
Yes. Third-row seating is available on the SE and Autobiography trims, provided you select the Long Wheelbase (LWB) configuration. The ultra-luxurious SV trim focuses heavily on four- or five-passenger executive comfort and does not offer a third row.
SV stands for Special Vehicle Operations. This is Range Rover's bespoke division, responsible for crafting the highest tier of luxury and performance. SV models feature exclusive materials like ceramic controls, unique exterior styling, and the most powerful engine options available.
