Range Rover Sport SV: SUV with supercar performance
Pushing out 635hp and 800Nm from a 4.4-litre BMW-sourced engine, which is twin-turbocharged and mildly hybridised, the SV trumps the previous SVR’s 575hp, achieved from a supercharged 5.0-litre V8. The Range Rover Sport SV does 0-96kph in 3.6 seconds, and can go on to a top-speed of 290kph. It drives four wheels via an eight speed automatic gearbox.
Based on the latest-generation Range Rover Sport, the new halo SV is one of Land Rover’s final new combustion cars. JLR, under its Reimagine transformation plan, will launch a Range Rover EV next year, before the Land Rover Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport, Evoque and Velar go electric from 2025.
