JLR launches updated Range Rover Sport SVR in India

JAGUAR LAND ROVER (JLR) launched an upgraded version of Range Rover Sport SVR in India with an ex-showroom price of Rs 21.9 million (£213,226).

"Range Rover SVR redefines and further elevates performance and luxury in an SUV by leveraging the best of bespoke British design and engineering. I am sure that Range Rover Sport SUV enthusiasts and fans will simply love this latest offering combining formidable British engineering craftsmanship with high end and refined luxury," JLR India president and managing director Rohit Suri said in a statement.

Designed, engineered and developed by JLR's Special Vehicle Operations, the SUV is hand-finished in Coventry, UK.

The design of the new vehicle ensures good control under heavy acceleration and braking.
