The Land Rover India has introduced the 2026 Range Rover Sport Autobiography in India at Rs 1.60 crore (ex-showroom), now locally assembled. This matters for Indian buyers because local assembly helps control pricing in the luxury SUV segment while adding a new top-spec trim. For the first time, the Autobiography badge is available on the India-made Range Rover Sport, bringing higher equipment levels and more powertrain choices. Bookings have opened, and the model is positioned as a step above the existing Dynamic variants in both features and overall positioning.
Engine, Performance And Platform Details
The Range Rover Sport Autobiography is offered with 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines featuring mild-hybrid technology. The petrol version produces around 400 PS and 550
Nm, while the diesel delivers approximately 350 PS, paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive.
This setup allows the SUV to balance performance with efficiency, with acceleration figures close to 5.8-5.9 seconds for 0-100 kmph depending on the variant. The mild-hybrid system assists during acceleration and improves fuel efficiency under load.
The SUV also retains key mechanical features such as adaptive air suspension and terrain response systems. These allow it to adjust ride height and traction settings depending on road conditions, which is relevant for Indian buyers dealing with varied terrain, from highways to rough roads.
Design, Interior And Feature Highlights
The Autobiography variant brings subtle but noticeable design differences over standard trims. These include exclusive badging, new colour options, and refined detailing while the overall silhouette remains unchanged.
Inside, the focus is on material quality and comfort. The cabin features premium leather upholstery, electrically adjustable seats with heating and ventilation, and a large touchscreen infotainment system with connected features. The SUV also supports advanced connectivity functions, including integrated apps and voice control features.
Safety and assistance features include multiple airbags, electronic stability systems, and driver assistance technologies. However, the focus remains on assisted driving rather than full autonomous capability.

Price, Positioning And Buyer Impact
At Rs 1.60 crore (ex-showroom), the Range Rover Sport Autobiography sits above most mainstream luxury SUVs but below flagship Range Rover models. Local assembly is a key factor in maintaining this pricing compared to fully imported versions.
For Indian buyers, the update is straightforward. You get more features, multiple engine choices as well as a higher-spec trim without a complete platform change. The SUV suits buyers looking for a mix of performance, luxury and brand positioning, though ownership costs including fuel and maintenance, remain high.
