Just the other day, the Range Rover SV Ranthambore Edition hit the Indian market and the only thing I can recall is that I can’t stop reading, watching videos, reading about it, getting a real sense of this beast! Although priced at a whopping Rs 4.98 crore, only 12 of these are rare machines and hence one of the most exclusive vehicles on the planet. The whole concept behind this limited version is to transform Bengal tiger spirit in the minds of the people and redefine luxury in the world of SUVs. It’s more than opulence, it’s helping out as well, where a portion of proceeds go towards wildlife conservation efforts.
This Range Rover SV Ranthambore edition—after doing a lot of research on this vehicle—is not just a luxury SUV, but it offers a whole new experience. Only 12 units of this car are to be made, priced at Rs 4.98 crore, and is destined to cater to those who want something more than your average ride. It’s a status symbol, an elegance symbol, even a symbol of exclusivity.
This SUV doesn’t blend into the surroundings visually—it has attitude. I’ve seen it, and it is gorgeous! It has a deep black finish and the slight reddish highlight gives it a fierceness, but also a great amount of elegance. There are Corinthian Bronze and Anthracite accents for a modern rendering of Bengal tiger stripes, and then there are those absolutely striking 23-inch dark alloy wheels to make it that much more of an aggressive pill. You aren’t going unnoticed if you happen to drive this.
I haven’t sat in one, but apparently, the inside of the Ranthambore Edition is all about making you feel like you’re in the lap of luxury. Using Caraway and Perlino semi-aniline leather throughout the interior, along with its unique tiger stripe-inspired stitching, it has an exotic touch to it. Reclining rear seats, a powered club table, even a refrigerated compartment for keeping your favorite drinks chilled are on the list. It’s those details, however, that make you feel like it’s a moving luxury suite.
Each one of these vehicles has something utterly unique about it. Bespoke door sill plates come with each car and identify the car as part of the 12-unit series. Plus, a portion of the proceeds goes to the Wildlife Conservation Trust of India, which gives the whole thing a sense of purpose. This is a great car to own, and it’s nice to know that I’m also helping support wildlife conservation efforts.
It’s quite breathtaking—that deep black finish with a touch of red shimmer. It’s a subtle thing but a big impact, almost like watching a Bengal tiger travel through the jungle. I don’t know what it is, but it’s always so captivating to see it that you end up taking a second look.
What really makes the Ranthambore Edition is the detail. There’s something to the Corinthian Bronze accents, the custom scatter cushions, and those forged wheels, that it all just plays together well and heightens the personality of the SUV. It’s not about luxury, it’s just a means of making it feel special, like a custom experience made entirely for you.
When I researched the topic, one thing that came out to me is just how much people have focused on the rear passengers. “Powerful table and even a refrigerated compartment?” Everything sounds incredibly well thought out in making the ride as nice as possible. To put it another way, Range Rover thought of every means in which a backseat passenger could feel like royalty, then did it.
Everything from the semi-aniline leather to the white ceramic dials is top-notch craftsmanship. Every single item of the design was carefully chosen to summon the luxury and the wild inspiration behind it. The more I researched this car, the more you could see how each of these units are crafted to make something special.
I am particularly attracted to the idea of the Ranthambore Edition because it doesn’t merely offer luxury—it makes a difference as well. A portion of sales goes to the Wildlife Trust of India. When you purchase this SUV, something really good happens: you’re helping save the Bengal Tiger, and that’s amazing.
