Land Rover Teases Range Rover SV Coupe's Interior

I think the interior looks great, I like that it is different, who says the front and rear seats have to be the same color.    Not sure about this coupe Range Rover idea and that sort of defeats the purpose of a fancy back seat of you can’t get to it.

Nice, I can live with a two tone interior, but the wife would hate it as it is not uniform for her OCD approach to life. My only dislike is the White Leather. What morons think White is a smart move? Talk about showing all the dirt fast, high maintenance if you want it to stay looking bright and clean, White interior is just not a smart move for the Lazy Human population.

Would be nice to have a Forest Green Leather interior with a warm earth brown. dash and doors.

I have come to HATE, Yup HATE these interiors that have wall dividers in the back seat. Can we isolate and separate people any more ? Even in a luxury high end interior, I just do not see the need for that center mass on top of wasted seating space.

That's one fancy looking interior. I would pilot that vehicle.

It's leather, not cloth. You wipe it off like you would black, brown, or tan.

It's because they open up and there's gadgets in there. Nobody in their right mind WANTS to sit three deep back there to begin with. This gives you compartments, cup holders, charging ports, etc. 

" Two individual fully adjustable seats are complemented by an extended and re-designed centre console with electrically deployable walnut tables, integrated USB charging sockets, enhanced stowage and bespoke lighting." 

That is what's going on back there for their Holland & Holland Range Rover that looks very similar. 

Lost a seat nobody would use and gained actual bucket seats and much more. 

Beautiful interior from above, looks like.  Kind of unusual for the front seats and back seats to not match. I like the white leather.  Good to not see it on the steering wheel rim, I've seen some cars (Chrysler 200/300) with really light leather or vinyl on the steering wheel rim, seems like that would get grubby quickly.    Will be interesting to see how the outside looks..

I know it is leather but every WHITE Leather interior looks dirty and cheap fast. I have never seen any auto builder have a white leather interior that still looks good only months after use. Just the wrong color in an Auto in my opinion.

I have see plenty of interiors that have had those things without the dividing wall. Rolls, Bentley, MB in the S class. 

I just do not see the needs to isolate people that way with the wall, my opinion on it.

You'd prefer a bench seat? Oh how luxurious that would be...

A bench seat seems more appropriate for a family CUV/SUV  or minivan...a luxury car or luxury SUV is supposed to be cosseting at most maybe 4 people in comfort. 

Exactly. An open bench for 5 humans is the opposite of luxurious. Buy a Tahoe if that's what you want.

I disagree, there have been captain chair bench seats that are very luxurious and gives you that option of having the mid seat. 

For me having individual captain chairs here is fine and I would like that with a center stack between the chairs but the open space in the foot area. The two rear passengers should be able to easily get out either door and not have to step over a center wall divide.

All you stated and the story states it will have can be done without having to have the wall there.

This can still be very luxurious with two captain chairs and no center wall in the foot area.

Which ones are as luxurious as these? Or even close? 

The Bentyaga similarly has a bucket seat interior, though the rear console and front console aren't connected, leaving room to clamber through...

The image 'captain's chairs' style seating conjures up for me are 80s conversion vans and RVs.

Some Range Rovers like the Sport seem to have a more bench seat rear seat w/ fold down armrest, while the big Range Rover (Autobiography Edition) goes for buckets w/ a dividing console..

MB S-Class comes to mind!

Cadillac CT6 is a Perfect Example.

To just name a few. I see no reason they could not do this kind of seating in the Rover.

Those aren't captain's chairs. 

They offer that as well. 

These are captain's chairs (swing down narrow armrest) in a Lexus GX.  They remind me of 80s RVs and conversion vans.

@dfelt having driven and sat in the CT6, there is no way in hell that I would have anyone sit in the middle seat. It is way too uncomfortable.

I can understand that and would not expect that 99.9% of the time anyone would sit there, but it gives options and looks very nice plus the two outside seats are very comfy equal to captain chairs in my opinion.

@ccap41 and @Cubical-aka-Moltar Yes we have the old style Captain Chairs and what MB and Cadillac has done as well as others is make a modern 21st century take on them that allows for better flexibility over the captain chairs.

I did wonder why not put the navy seats in front because those will get used more, and put the white seats in back where they will get less abuse.

One factoid in the first paragraph may have been missed in the various seat discussions--this is a 2dr coupe, not a 4dr.  Very cool to see them doing a largish 2dr SUV.

Yup, that did not register and now makes my argument against the stupid wood wall even more so as in a 2 door, if you cannot get out the drivers side you now have to crawl over the wall to get out the passenger side.

Still do not like that middle wood block. A back seat setup like the CT6 or S-Class is the better way to go I think. If you do not like the middle section then yes two captain chairs with your wood section between them but the foot area is open allowing you to get out either front door.

It's funny, it didn't register with me either (until I read another article)...I was thinking  4dr coupe SUV like the X6 or GLE.    Getting out of a 2dr backseat is a PITA in most cars, this would make it worse..though there have been 2dr coupes w/ full length consoles...

Just a guess but I think it has to do with the overall flow of the color scheme. with white seats in the middle as opposed to on an "end" of the vehicle with the dash incorporated in it seems to flow more. Otherwise it would be dark in back, white in middle, and dark up front again. that seems more awkward to me. 

Other than that, your assessment does make more sense based on wear and where people will be most.

Hahaha I completely missed the whole two-door part, too!

Wow, screw this vehicle.
