There is no re-inventing the wheels but improving the wheels, has no limit in this computer age, hence every automaker is consistently bringing new innovations to bear in the industry. With the competition raging across the industry, the only way for automakers to gain more market shares is to innovate without looking back. This is what renowned luxury auto manufacturers are doing.

Recently Range Rover did something spectacular by unveiling  the most highly crafted vehicle ever produced by the Range Rover SV Bespoke team: introducing the Range Rover SV Candeo.

A one-of-one collector’s vehicle, this unique long-wheelbase model represents the pinnacle of Range Rover SV Bespoke – a vision for future personalisation finishes available from 2026 Model Year.

Drawing inspiration from the cool tones of Miami’s famed coastline, Range Rover has crafted a unique curation that expresses this natural beauty. 

The Range Rover SV Candeo, defined as ‘to shine’ in Latin, reflects the world-famous oceanic vistas. Displayed during Design Miami, as part of Range Rover’s official partnership, it is presented in a space dedicated to the Range Rover’s guiding modernist design philosophy, with a cinematic backdrop storying Miami’s landscape and oceanic views.

The exterior features a duo-tone paint finish – applied by hand to create a graceful ombre effect from a bespoke sky-blue satin hood colour fading into a lustrous pearl white along the upper portion of the distinctive Range Rover silhouette. This elegant colour combination magically captures the subtle golden reflections shimmering on the clear blue waters of Miami. The exterior is finished with Forged 23-inch Diamond Turned directional alloy wheels with matching pearl white inserts.

Complementing the exterior on the front and rear lies exquisitely-crafted 18K solid gold Range Rover script badging – weighing in at over 900g; more gold than has ever been applied to a Range Rover before. The gold is recycled from 100% fully audited recycled sources, preserving natural resources. 

Each letter features an 18K yellow-gold outer and white-gold inner and is 3D printed for precision, hallmarked, then hand-finished by a British Jeweler to ensure it lies perfectly flush – with a polished outer edge and a brushed face.

The interior of this unique and exclusive vehicle is the perfect combination of harmonious tones; a Liberty Blue Near-Aniline and Perlino Semi-Aniline leather finish capturing the essence of the transformation between dawn to noon. 

This theme is further brought to life with careful and considered embroidery across the cabin, as well as Natural Dark wood veneers and white ceramic finishes on the gear shifter and controls.

A one-of-a-kind embroidery design has been applied with care and precision, to bring the overall theme of ‘light’ to life for a very discerning client. Luxurious left and right seat backs feature a radiating sunrise motif meticulously embroidered– viewed in all its glory from the front looking rearwards, where the rays seemingly stretch to each corner of the interior. For the first time, Range Rover SV Candeo features an embroidered headlining, finished in Perlino with nuances of gold in different lights, continuing the theme of sunrise. Cabin cushions feature a geometric sundial repeat pattern, with 90,000 stitches per cushion for a tactile, intriguing and precise finish that exemplifies workmanship beyond compare.
