Pretoria – The new Range Rover Sentinel is the first luxury, armoured vehicle to be engineered by Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), hand-built at its Oxford Road factory.

The new bullet-proof 4x4, dubbed 'The Sentinel', uses a Range Rover Autobiography as a platform.

The Sentinel is available in South Africa and interested customers can visit their nearest Land Rover dealership to place an order.

The vehicle is designed, says Land Rover, to withstand threats including 7.62mm high-velocity, armour-piercing incendiary bullets. It's capable of protecting occupants against up to 15kg Trinitrotoluene (TNT) blasts and defend against grenade explosions (from beneath the floor and above the roof).

A six-piece armoured passenger cell, comprised of high-strength steel, provides protection to occupants. For visibility, it uses multi-laminated armoured privacy glass with bullet protection.

The automaker says the Range Rover Sentinel is "fully certified to VR8 standard against ballistic threats independent organisation by QinetiQ".
