2024 Range Rover Sport SV Makes Debut With 626 HP And 23-Inch Carbon Fibre Wheels

June 1, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

There is no more Range Rover Sport SVR. The Range Rover Sport SV will live forever. The final letter of the suffix and the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine created by Jaguar Land Rover are dropped in the new high-performance SUV.

A twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine with mild hybrid technology from BMW has taken its place. It generates a staggering 626 hp and 590 lb-ft (800 Newton meters) of torque, which is 59 hp and 74 lb-ft (100 Nm) more than it did previously.

However, the torque number we cited is only accessible when Dynamic Launch Mode is on; otherwise, the engine only generates 551 lb-ft (750 Nm). The fastest Range Rover to date reaches 60 mph (96 km/h) in 3.6 seconds and reaches a peak speed of 180 mph (290 km/h). These are outstanding performance numbers for an SUV that runs on petrol and weighs a substantial 2,560 kilograms (5,644 pounds).

Customers may trim some of that fat by choosing the first 23-inch carbon fiber wheels in the world, which save a total of 36 kilograms (80 pounds) in weight.

Additionally, the new SV is the first Range Rover with optional carbon-ceramic brakes (Brembo), which reduce weight by an additional 34 kg (75 lbs) compared to the iron brakes that come standard. When the carbon fiber hood is taken into account, weight reductions come to 76 kg (168 lbs).

The muscular SUV is mounted on Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires with 285/40 R23 front tires and a substantial 305/35 R23 rear tyres. The new SV Mode takes the standard Dynamic mode a step further by lowering the car by an extra 15 millimeters (0.6 inches), sharpening the steering and the eight-speed automatic transmission’s reaction time.

The front seats of the 2024 Range Rover Sport SV contain built-in transducers, which is one of the vehicle’s special effects.

The driver and front passenger may “feel” the music by feeling the vibrations caused by the 29-speaker, 1430-watt Meridian sound system. With six carefully created tunes (Poise, Soothe, Serene, Cool, Tonic, Glow), they are known as Body and Soul Seats (BASS) and come with a wellness program to help you unwind.

Land Rover will only offer the quick SUV during its initial year of production as an Edition One, which is “only available for select clients to order by invitation.”
