The 625bhp Range Rover Sport SV is now £35k cheaper than it was before
While it was previously available only in special edition form, the V8-powered Range Rover Sport SV is finally on the market in ‘standard’ trim, bringing the price point down in the process
The excellent BMW-powered Range Rover Sport SV picks up where the Sport SVR left off, combining luxury and long-distance comfort with performance to concern a true sports car. Since its reveal in 2023 though, buyers have only had limited-run special editions to choose from, but now the marque has released it in its ‘standard’ trim, dropping the entry price by a hefty £34,550.
Until now, the £174,545 Edition Two is where the Sport SV lineup began, but £139,995 will now get you into the entry-level car to make it even more appealing than before. Granted, you’ll go without the pre-configured interior and exterior packages of the Edition Two, with standard kit, forged carbonfibre trim and unique branding also off the table, but what you will receive is exactly the same performance…
> Range Rover 2025 review – there’s no need to go electric
Under its bonnet is the same mild-hybrid 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged BMW-derived V8 as every other Sport SV, producing a not-inconsiderable 625bhp and 590lb ft of torque to make it the most powerful Range Rover yet – a quoted 3.6sec 0-60mph time and 180mph top speed are impressive to say the least, but it’s the chassis tech that’s most notable.
High-tech hydraulically interlinked ‘6D’ suspension (yes, like the system used in McLarens) makes it one of the sharpest cars in its class. As an option, buyers can specify a set of Brembo carbon ceramic brakes with a monster eight-piston, 440mm front setup, with the 23-inch carbonfibre wheel option said to reduce weight by 76kg overall, reducing unsprung mass in the process – buyers of the Edition Two can also opt for a set of new 22-inch diamond cut wheels in satin grey, alongside other options.
Though special editions are no longer all that's on the table, a new one has just been uncovered. With gloss black trim, badging, exhaust tips, 23-inch wheels and Narvik Black paintwork, the new Sport SV 'Black' brings a more stealthy look to the performance SUV – even that carbonfibre bonnet is painted black, with tread plates and gloss black trim inside designed to match.
After this change to the lineup, the Range Rover Sport SV now starts from £139,995, a £34,550 drop from the £174,545 Edition Two. Opt for the new SV Black model and you'll pay a £15,000 premium at £154,975. Order books will open later this year.
