New Range Rover Sport SV is the most powerful and dynamic Range Rover Sport ever, blending supreme performance and dynamism with peerless Range Rover capability, refinement and reductive design. Its array of performance-enhancing technologies includes the most advanced suspension system in its class and a sensory audio system with wellness benefits. Inherent to the high-performance credentials of New Range Rover Sport SV, an exclusive airflow-enhanced design delivers a more assertive and grounded aesthetic, with functional lightweight and technical material choices throughout reinforcing its high-performance capabilities.
Powered exclusively by a new 635PS, 750Nm 4.4-litre Twin-Turbo MHEV V8 petrol engine – 60PS and 50Nm more than the previous generation Range Rover Sport SVR's Supercharged 5.0-litre V8 – New Range Rover Sport SV is capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in as little as 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 180mph. CO2 emissions are also 15 per cent lower than the previous model's 575PS V8.
Exemplifying Range Rover's modern luxury philosophy, New Range Rover Sport SV is initially being reserved for select clients globally, with the invitation-only SV EDITION ONE specification representing a curation of the best feature combinations, colours and finishes. New Range Rover Sport SV exemplifies Range Rover's philosophy, not just as a bold evolution beyond its Range Rover Sport SVR predecessor, but also in the personalised approach we are taking with our most discerning clients.
New Range Rover Sport SV's high-performance-honed exterior design includes an exclusive airflow-enhanced front-end, reprofiled lower body sides and functional carbon fibre-tipped quad tailpipes for the active exhaust system as focal points of the rear aspect. Carbon fibre detailing on the Range Rover script, front bumper blades, grille surround, bonnet vents and side vents can be supplemented with an exposed finish for the centre section of the carbon fibre bonnet.
Performance and efficiency are enhanced with an updated plug-in electric hybrid powertrain, with the new P550e – replacing the P510e – offering EV range of up to 121km (75 miles) for swifter and more relaxed journeys5, as well as CO2 emissions from 15g/km. The new P550e electric hybrid with its new transmission set-up joins the Range Rover Sport's extensive powertrain line-up. When combined with the 3.0-litre six-cylinder Ingenium petrol engine, the electric hybrid produces 550PS and 800Nm of torque. The enhanced electric motor and transmission make the electric hybrid more responsive than ever, reducing the time it takes to reach 100km/h by 5.0 seconds under pure electric power. Utilising both power sources, the P550e can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 4.9 seconds (0-60mph in 4.7 seconds), compared to 5.4 seconds previously (5.2 seconds 0-60mph). Additionally, the P530 V8 powertrain now uses Mild Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology for the first time. The MHEV system delivers increased efficiency by harvesting energy captured when decelerating and braking, and improved responses as the stored energy is redeployed under acceleration. When combined with other benefits of the system, including smoother operation of the start/stop functionality, these attributes deliver an improvement in CO2 emissions.
