The Land Rover Range Rover Sport SV Carbon is set to redefine the luxury SUV segment with its powerful performance and exclusive features. This flagship mid-size luxury SUV is scheduled to launch on August 13.
Engine & Performance
Under the hood, the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon houses a 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged mild-hybrid V8 engine, producing around 626-635 horsepower and 720 Nm of torque.

The SUV comes equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission by ZF and an AWD drivetrain.
Suspension & Handling
The Range Rover Sport SV Carbon offers an unparalleled driving experience, thanks to its sophisticated suspension and braking systems. A 6D dynamic air suspension system with four-wheel steering enhances stability and maneuverability, while optional carbon ceramic brakes (17.3-inch front, 15.3-inch rear) with large, eight-piston front calipers ensure superior stopping power. The carbon fiber 23-inch wheels reduce unsprung mass, improving performance and cornering grip. The SUV boasts a skidpad lateral grip of about 0.92 g, close to 1 g claimed cornering ability.

The exterior of the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon is a blend of aggression and luxury. Unique forged carbon fiber exterior details, including carbon fiber elements around quad exhausts, give it a distinctive look. The Forged Carbon Exterior Pack comes as standard and includes carbon fibre detailing on the front grille, bumper, and Active Quad Exhausts. Buyers have the option to upgrade to ultra-lightweight 23-inch Carbon Fibre Wheels, which save 76 kg of total weight. The SUV is available in four exclusive color options and one from the SV Premium Palette.
Interior & Luxury
The interior of the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon is no less impressive. It offers lavish appointments with high-end technology and materials. The cabin includes SV illuminated treadplates and Extended Moonlight Chrome detailing. Four upholstery options are available, including perforated Windsor Leather seats and a leather-free option made from perforated Ultrafabrics material. The interior can be customized with a Twill Carbon finish, which has a distinctive diagonal weave pattern.
Price & Market Position
The base price of the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon is around $180,000-$185,000 USD (£185k in UK). With full carbon options, the as-tested price exceeds $204,000. The Sport SV Carbon competes with high-end sporty luxury SUVs like Aston Martin DBX S, Bentley Bentayga S, Lamborghini Urus SE, Porsche Cayenne Turbo e-Hybrid, and BMW XM.
In summary, the Range Rover Sport SV Carbon is a highly exclusive, performance-focused luxury SUV distinguished by advanced carbon fiber components, impressive powertrain specifications, sophisticated suspension/braking systems, and a premium technological and design package for an enhanced driving experience. It is now available to order via the official website.
