At the heart of the Range Rover Sport SV lies the most powerful engine ever fitted to a Range Rover. The 4,4-litre Twin-Turbo MHEV V8 petrol engine delivers an impressive 467 kW and 750 N.m, which is 44 kW more than the supercharged SVR’s power output. This hearty power plant enables the super SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 3,7 seconds. With a top speed of 290 km/h, this remarkable performance is accompanied by a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the previous model, by way of its new mild-hybrid tech.
Additionally, the Range Rover Sport nameplate now includes a hybrid offering namely; the P460e, which is motivated by a hybrid-assisted 3,0-litre inline-six petrol engine producing 338 kW and 800 N.m.
One of the standout features of the Range Rover Sport SV is its revolutionary 6D Dynamics suspension system. This cutting-edge technology combines hydraulic interlinked dampers, height-adjustable air springs, and pitch control to maintain a near-level stance during extreme acceleration, braking, and cornering. By removing the need for conventional anti-roll bars, this system enhances both handling and comfort, offering a truly dynamic driving experience.
The Range Rover Sport SV also places a strong emphasis on weight reduction and aerodynamics. The introduction of the beguiling 23-inch Carbon Fibre Wheel option contributes to a total weight saving of 76 kg, resulting in improved handling, acceleration, and ride quality. Additionally, the SUV offers the option of lightweight and powerful Brembo Carbon Ceramic Brakes, providing exceptional stopping power and enhancing overall performance.

In terms of design, the Range Rover Sport SV exhibits an assertive and aerodynamically honed exterior. The front-end, carbon fibre bonnet, and quad tailpipe finishers add to its aggressive yet sophisticated appearance. Inside the cabin, the SV Edition One specification boasts exclusive branding and features, creating a truly luxurious and performance-focused environment.

To enhance the sensory experience, the Range Rover Sport SV introduces the innovative Body and Soul Seat (BASS). This multi-dimensional audio system, in collaboration with SUBPAC technology, allows occupants to feel the sound, providing an immersive and engaging in-car audio experience. The Range Rover Sport utilizes the Pivi Pro4 infotainment system, which is composed of a floating glass design 13,1-inch touchscreen.
