Ultrafabrics Supplying Animal-Free Leather for Range Rover

Thanks to a longstanding partnership with Jaguar Land Rover, its customers will now have an Ultrafabrics animal-free (vegan) leather option in the Range Rover in both the standard and SV Intrepid models, the company announced.

“We have been working closely with the Jaguar Land Rover design team’s research and innovation team for almost eight years,” said Perry Hodge, Ultrafabrics vice president of Transportation. “In the new models, especially the Range Rover SV, Ultrafabrics has a much larger presence throughout the interior which is the result of our years-long commitment to bringing luxury and innovation to our customers.”

“We are proud to bring their concept of modernity and their distinct subtle luxury to life,” Hodge added. “Ultrafabrics’ materials offer the same tactile qualities as leather but are 30% lighter and thereby generate a quarter of the carbon dioxide emissions.”

The Ultrafabrics’ material, in Light Cloud with Cinder Grey, is applied in a future-forward duotone in the SV Intrepid interior, while the standard Range Rover includes Ultrafabrics in Ebony.
