a new first class jaguar land rover, the range rover SVAutobiography, is on display at the 2017 LA auto show, and the tech hub on wheels is packed with state of the art everything. a penny isn’t wasted on the $207,900 ship; with it, jaguar land rover has pioneered an experience virtually free of pain points.

the executive class rear seats double as 22-way adjustable hot stone massage chairs, with access to deployable rear tables and dual 10-inch infotainment systems. of course, there’s also 4g wi-fi connectivity and a casual refrigerator. overall, the SVAutobiography’s system is a digital butler that you don’t have to tip or feel sorry for.

rover’s never trade convenience for efficiency. that wouldn’t be convenient at all. while this model does seem to have gone overboard to make sure owners have an experience defined by comfort, the specs still check out. in fact, they really check out. the new SV features a 404PS plug-in electric-petrol powertrain with a jacked up EV range of 31 miles(51), along with a 565PS V8 supercharged petrol engine.

one downside, unfortunately, is that the SVAutobiography does not come with a designated driver. the little refrigerator between the rear seats with the two bottles of wine will have to remain closed. despite this hiccup, every pain point seems to have been ejected from this jaguar land rover.
