Range Rover Raises the Bar in the Luxury Performance SUV Category

Range Rover has unveiled the new Range Rover Sport SV, aiming to redefine the luxury performance SUV category. The model features a new 4.4 V8 twin-turbo engine with mild-hybrid assistance, delivering 635 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque, offering impressive performance (0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 290 km/h). One of its key features is the 6D Dynamics system, which controls roll and weight transfer, ensuring stability and comfort. Weight reduction is a significant factor, with the use of materials such as carbon fiber in the wheels, hood, and brakes, reducing weight by up to 76 kg. Ceramic brakes, a first for Range Rover, improve feel and durability, while Brembo eight-piston calipers enhance the sporty character. The interior of the Sport SV offers luxury with an emphasis on experience, with the new Performance seats and Body and Soul Seat technology, combined with the Meridian Signature sound system. The Pivi Pro digital environment adapts to the driver and adopts sporty graphics in the special SV mode. Design-wise, the Sport SV retains the Range Rover aesthetic, but with more aggressive details and the use of carbon. The SV Black version stands out for its all-black aesthetic, enhancing the dynamism and exclusivity of the model.
