The New Range Rover D350 Autobiography Revealed
In recent years, the trend for hybrid and electric cars has continued to increase. The rumble that used to fill the air is slowly being eliminated, with cars gliding inconspicuously into focus instead. It seems that every marque has delved into this world in its own way and Range Rover is no exception. 2022 saw the release of the brand new D350 Autobiography – a hybrid diesel to challenge its competitors. With the largest fleet of luxury cars for hire in the UK, Star Luxury Cars bring a wealth of diesel and hybrid hire cars to your fingertips while ensuring that the latest models reach our portfolio too. The D350 is a thrilling addition to the market and one that promises to draw much attention from passers-by.
Diesel meets electrics underneath the hood
The D350 is a UK-designed model, built using the new MLA-Flex architecture. Focusing on aluminium components, this creates a vehicle that is 50% stiffer and designed to last. The engine itself brings an impressive 345bhp with 516lb ft of torque to play with. If you put your foot down, this power means you’ll touch 62mph in just 7.1 seconds. And, if you truly have the space, the luxury 4×4 car hire can touch 140mph when given the space.
However, it is the decrease in CO2 output that will likely draw in potential customers and drivers. The new engine has an impressive 30.8mpg and just 241g/km of CO2 – cutting output by more than 10%. It also reduces the overall weight of the vehicle significantly, making it easier to manouver and improving dynamics on all terrains.
Driver technology at your fingertips
Range Rovers are designed for fun – a vehicle you can easily take long distances or off-road to explore the great, open countryside. The features inside are tailored to the driver, allowing them full customisation and control during every drive. The ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox comes with Land Rover’s Terrain Response stability and traction control system. Heightening response on challenging terrains, it helps you to better manage the engine, gearbox and stability at all times.
The 13” Pivi Pro navigational system sits within a tablet and with easy access for the driver. The interface is both easy-to-use and highly responsive, simplifying complex journeys and bringing more enjoyment to your drive. Safety also remains a key priority with the inclusion of the ClearSign rear-view mirror display. A clear feed from the rear parking camera streams to the screen directly in front of you, giving you greater visibility all around.
The technology inside the D350 is truly impressive. An active roll control system works in cohesion with the inbuilt satellite navigation system. As you move from one terrain to another, it analyses these changes and adjusts the suspension to suit. The rear-wheel driving system helps you achieve a very low turning circle – ideal for parking in tight spaces or manoeuvring the car at low speeds and on unbalanced terrain.
Exterior beauty and elegance from every angle
Range Rover’s are nothing if not incredibly attractive cars and the D350 is no exception. While it maintains a demanding presence from a distance, there are smaller tweaks that set it aside from its predecessors. From the back, you’d be forgiven for thinking the rear lights had been completely removed. The dark-panelled unit sitting in their place visually elongated the rear and intensifies the masculine aesthetic. However, once nighttime hits, the lights show themselves nestled deep within this feature. The front LED lights have also been re-designed, with a new clustered layout that accentuates light for better safety. Flush glazing details, a lowered roof and integrated grille give this car an aesthetic that cannot fail to turn heads. And let’s not forget the 21” wheels that act as the heart of the luxury car hire’s rear-wheel steering system.
Passenger comfort prioritised at all times
Off-road luxury car hires tend to get a reputation for prioritising space and presence over comfort. However, the Range Rover D350 maintains a continued focus on the passengers, bringing technology and comfort into every drive. The ultra-smooth drive is a culmination of driver technology and carefully chosen materials. All of the fabrics chosen inside have been improved, in terms of both quality and feel. A sliding panoramic sunroof opens up the already spacious interiors, providing a unique view out to your surroundings. Each executive seat boasts 24-way electrically adjustable features with the option for heated and cooled massage front seats if required.
The top-spec model comes with a Meridian Signature Sound System – a brand noted for being the leader in both British engineering and innovation within their field. Indulge in immersive car HiFi, cabin correction technology and crystal clear audio. With up to 12 speakers and a dual channel subwoofer, there’s no better way to listen to music when travelling long-distance or catching up with colleagues on corporate trips.
The Range Rover D350 luxury car hire offers comfortable seating for 5 adults. However, for those seeking additional space, there is the option to expand this further with an additional 2 seats fitted into the boot. If it’s luggage space you wish to prioritise, the standard boot offers 552 litres; plenty for suitcases and other travelling essentials. Fold down the rear seats and you increase this further to an impressive 1,686 litres – the ideal space for golf clubs, ski equipment or larger items that need to accompany you on your travels.
In addition, the boot isn’t just there to offer storage space as you drive. Want to stop halfway on longer journeys to stretch your legs or drink in the surrounding beauty? The D350 has a unique feature within the boot. The electrically folding parcel shelf opens the space up significantly while the boot floor can be propped up. Sit down on the dropped tailgate, lean back and you capture a moment in time where luxury car hire and the exquisite outdoors blend together seamlessly.
