What’s new?

It boasts an impressive number of segment and brand firsts – including 6D dynamics suspension and immersive audio – which make it the benchmark for the ultimate modern luxury performance SUV.

World first suspension:

The SV’s world-first 6D Dynamics suspension system is the most sophisticated in its class, debuting a combination of hydraulic interlinked dampers, height-adjustable air springs and pitch control.

The semi-active system, which removes the need for conventional anti-roll bars, dramatically reduces pitch and roll to maintain a near-level body stance during extreme cornering, heavy acceleration and hard braking, while also reducing weight, increasing grip and benefiting comfort and refinement.

Interior:

Inside the cockpit-like cabin, exclusive satin carbon fibre-backed SV Performance Seats feature integrated headrests, more sculpted bolsters and illuminated SV logos on their backrests. A new Ultrafabrics™ PU interior is available, with lightweight, seamless, ‘3D Knit to form’ textile.

A world-first translucent edge-lit gear shift paddles nestle behind a steering wheel with more pronounced thumb grips, while black ceramic for the console gear shifter gives a cool-to-touch feel.

Raising that sense of connection even higher, the new Range Rover Sport SV introduces Body and Soul Seat (BASS), a multi-dimensional audio experience with wellness benefits which allows front seat occupants to feel the sound.

This is the first production vehicle to incorporate a tactile audio system from industry leader SUBPAC™ – technology used by the world’s top recording artists and composers.

Engine:

Powered exclusively by a new 467 kW, 750 Nm 4.4-litre Twin-Turbo V8 petrol engine – 44 kW and 50 Nm more than the previous generation Range Rover Sport SVR – the new Range Rover Sport SV can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in as little as 3.7 seconds with a top speed of 290 km/h.

This outstanding performance is enabled by a combination of supercar-inspired features that deliver a weight saving of up to 76 kg, including the world’s first 23-inch Carbon Fibre Wheel option on a production car, Carbon Ceramic Brakes - an option available for the first time on a Range Rover - and standard-fit aerodynamic enhancements, including a carbon fibre bonnet.
