Range Rover SV Ranthambore edition, limited to 12 units, launched in India at ₹4.98 crore (ex-showroom)

A powerful tribute to the wild!

The Range Rover SV Ranthambore Edition has made its grand entrance in India, priced at ₹4.98 crore (ex-showroom). Built on the long-wheelbase version, this limited-edition beauty has been expertly customised by the brand's bespoke SV division. What makes it extra special is that it's the first ever exclusive edition crafted specifically for India.

The car channels the commanding presence and untamed spirit of a tiger in its natural habitat, taking cues from the majestic feline. It also nods to the vital role Ranthambore National Park plays in protecting this rare species, blending luxury with a deeper connection to nature’s conservation efforts.

The Ranthambore Edition is super exclusive, with only 12 units up for grabs. Each one comes with personalised door sill plates, showing off its unique number (1 of 12). The SV division went all out with a custom black exterior featuring a subtle reddish hue. To take things up a notch, they’ve added Corinthian Bronze and Anthracite accents—designed to mimic a tiger’s stripes—on the grille, tailgate, and the 23-inch dark alloy wheels.

Inside, the four-seat cabin is wrapped in Caraway and Perlino semi-aniline leather with contrast stitching. The seats feature embroidery inspired by the tiger's spine stripes, continuing the wild theme. Customised scatter cushions, chrome accents, light wenge wood veneer, and white ceramic dials further set the Ranthambore Edition apart from the standard Range Rover SV. 

As it's based on the SV, rear passengers are treated to fully reclining seats, a powered table, deployable cupholders, and even a refrigerated compartment stocked with SV-etched glassware. 

Under the hood, this limited-edition model packs a 400hp, 550Nm, 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo-petrol engine, the same one found in the Autobiography variant, which comes in at ₹2.6 crore (ex-showroom). To top it all off, a portion of the proceeds from the Ranthambore Edition will go to the Wildlife Conservation Trust of India, adding a feel-good factor to the ride!
