Land Rover has updated the big Range Rover for the model year 2021, which includes three special editions and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system for the diesel engine.

The special editions are Westminster, Westminster Black, and the SVAutobiography Dynamic Black; these three will join the recently announced Range Rover Fifty.

The Westminster Edition is based on the ‘Vogue’ trim with features including 21-inch Diamond-turned alloy wheels, privacy glass, Grand Black veneers, a Suedecloth headlining, a sliding panoramic glass roof, softclose doors, and a 19-speaker Meridian sound system. The Westminster Black Edition adds Black Exterior Pack, and buyers will be able to choose from three wheels ranging from a 21-inch 9-spoke design to a distinctive 22-inch Gloss Black 9-split-spoke design.

There’s also the SVAutobiography Dynamic Black with a fresh take on the SVAutobiography Dynamic. It features Santorini Black Metallic paintwork with Narvik Black Gloss exterior accents, 22-inch Gloss Black wheels, black calipers, and Ebony seats with Pimento stitching.

Moving on to the business end of the story, the 3.0-litre straight-six Ingenium diesel engine with 48-volt mild-hybrid system is available in 3 variants:

• D250 – 183 kW (249 hp), 600 Nm (442 lb-ft) of torque between 1,250-2,250 rpm
