2026 Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography: Solon Buyers Guide
Quick Answer: 2026 Range Rover Autobiography
The 2026 Range Rover Autobiography starts at $158,900 MSRP for the P550e plug-in hybrid in the short-wheelbase five-seat body, before the $2,450 destination charge. It's also offered with the P530 V8 in short-wheelbase ($176,950), long-wheelbase seven-seat ($180,050), and long-wheelbase five-seat ($181,650) configurations. Autobiography is the lineup's primary comfort and luxury trim — SV and SV Black are the performance flagships above it, not the other way around. The P550e is exclusive to the short-wheelbase body across the whole Range Rover lineup, never sold on any long-wheelbase or seven-seat configuration.
The luxury trim, not the performance one
Autobiography sounds like it should top the whole lineup, and in some Land Rover model lines it does — but on the 2026 Range Rover, SV and SV Black sit above it as the dedicated performance flagships built around the V8-only P615. Autobiography's job is comfort and materials: a step up in interior finish over SE, with the same core Pivi Pro technology, air suspension, and driver-assist suite carried over from the base trim. It's the Range Rover for buyers who want the full luxury experience without stepping into V8 performance-flagship pricing.
The plug-in hybrid, done properly
Autobiography's starting engine is the P550e, Land Rover's plug-in hybrid pairing the turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder with an electric motor for roughly 543 horsepower combined and a 4.8-second run to 60. On its 31.8-kWh battery it's EPA-estimated at around 21 miles of electric-only range, and once that's depleted it runs on premium gasoline at roughly 21 city / 22 highway. It's the quietest, most efficient way into an Autobiography, and it's the only Range Rover Autobiography configuration that isn't a straight V8. Buyers who want more outright power can step up within Autobiography to the P530 V8 (523 hp), available in either wheelbase and either seating configuration, at a meaningful price premium over the base P550e.
Wheelbase and seating, spelled out
Autobiography's V8 configuration is where the wheelbase choice actually matters: short-wheelbase five-seat at $176,950, long-wheelbase seven-seat at $180,050, or long-wheelbase five-seat at $181,650. That last one is easy to miss — a long-wheelbase Autobiography doesn't automatically mean seven seats, since Land Rover also sells a five-seat LWB configuration with extra rear legroom instead of a third row. Confirm seating capacity specifically rather than assuming it from wheelbase length alone.
A repeat Range Rover buyer's experience
Dustin K. wrote about his most recent purchase: "Michael, Andrew and the entire team were phenomenal. I would highly recommend LR Solon over most of if not all Land Rover Dealerships I've ever visited. This makes my 5th Range Rover, and this purchase certainly stands out as the most memorable one!" Five Range Rovers deep into a relationship with this dealership is the kind of loyalty that doesn't happen by accident, and it's a fair signal for anyone considering a step up into Autobiography-level luxury for the first time.
Frequently asked questions
Is Autobiography the top Range Rover trim?
No. SV and SV Black sit above it, built around the more powerful V8-only P615 engine. Autobiography is the top comfort and luxury trim rather than the performance flagship, a distinction worth knowing before assuming "Autobiography" means "the most expensive option."
Can I get Autobiography with seven seats?
Yes, in the long-wheelbase V8 configuration specifically ($180,050 MSRP). The base P550e plug-in hybrid Autobiography is short-wheelbase five-seat only and doesn't offer a seven-seat option.
How much range does the Autobiography's plug-in hybrid get on electric power alone?
Roughly 21 miles, per the EPA estimate for the 31.8-kWh battery. Beyond that the P550e runs as a conventional hybrid on premium gasoline, at approximately 21 city / 22 highway mpg.

All pricing here is manufacturer's suggested retail price, excluding the $2,450 destination charge plus taxes, title, registration, and any installed options; Land Rover Solon sets the actual selling price. EPA fuel-economy and electric-range numbers are government test estimates and will differ from real-world driving.
