It's a sweltering day in Mumbai, and the plan is to drive out to Oleander Farms in Kajrat for the day in the luxurious Range Rover SV. The car draws up to my door, and for once, I hop into the back seat, instead of behind the wheel. Land Rover's special vehicle operations division, known for pushing the envelope and creating sportier versions of the cars, has now raised the bar for luxury with the Range Rover SV.
Available in the standard and extended wheelbase versions of the car, the SV gives buyers two options-a sporty-looking Intrepid design or a Serenity design, which is the one I am riding in, and I can see why it's named so. Serenity has a lot of white in the cabin-in the surrounds of the knobs on the dash, the gear lever and a white bar running right across the dash. The door panels follow the white theme, and the central console, front to back, sports a textured white finish. The two-tone seats in white and tan look like rich, creamy chocolate gateaux. Upholstery colours can be changed to suit your taste, but that is not the only thing that can be individualised. You can choose from mind-boggling 1.6 million options to personalize this car.
