Land Rover has expanded the Range Rover Velar line-up in India with the launch of the top-spec Autobiography variant, priced at ₹89.90 lakh (ex-showroom). This new flagship trim brings several premium enhancements over the Velar Dynamic SE, including additional features, dual powertrain choices, and exclusive design touches.
Velar Autobiography: What’s New?
The Range Rover Velar Autobiography is priced ₹5 lakh higher than the Dynamic SE, but the premium is justified by the upgrades it brings in both style and substance. For starters, it is now available in both petrol and diesel variants, while the Dynamic SE continues to be offered only with a petrol engine.
Stylish Enhancements on the Outside
Visually, the Autobiography stands out with its Burnished Copper accents on the bumpers, front fenders, and even the ‘Range Rover’ lettering on the bonnet and tailgate. It also receives mildly redesigned LED headlights and freshly styled 20-inch Satin Dark Grey alloy wheels.
Land Rover is offering four exclusive paint options on the Autobiography:
-
Ostuni Pearl White
-
Varesine Blue
-
Arroios Grey
-
Batumi Gold
These special shades further add to the Autobiography’s premium appeal on Indian roads.
Premium Cabin and Tech Upgrades
Inside, the Velar Autobiography continues the theme of luxury with a range of exclusive leather upholstery choices, including:
-
Cloud/Ebony
-
Deep Garnet/Ebony
-
Caraway/Ebony
The cabin is equipped with a new 11.4-inch curved touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, and 4-zone climate control. Also included is an upgraded Meridian 3D Surround Sound System, offering an immersive audio experience.
Additionally, buyers can opt for 20-way adjustable massaging front seats with powered recline and a panoramic sunroof, features not offered with the Dynamic SE variant.
Off-Road Tech and Safety Features
To enhance its go-anywhere capabilities, the Autobiography gets Terrain Response 2 with Dynamic Program, which is controlled via the touchscreen interface. Safety has also been taken up a notch with features like:
-
360-degree camera
-
ABS with EBD
-
Front and rear parking sensors

Hill descent control

Wade sensing system
These features make it a capable SUV, whether tackling urban traffic or rougher terrains.
