2025 Range Rover SV Black: Here are 5 things that change on the all-black edition SUV
1 All-black exterior
The SV Black distinguishes itself with a uniform Narvik Gloss Black exterior finish. This includes blacked-out elements such as the front grille, bonnet lettering, 23-inch alloy wheels, and brake callipers. A black ceramic SV roundel at the rear serves as a subtle design identifier. These changes collectively create a darker and more minimalistic take on the Range Rover's familiar design.
2 Interior
Inside, the SV Black introduces a new Ebony Near-Aniline leather upholstery with reduced stitching and simplified seat panels, intended to offer a cleaner look. The cabin features black birch veneers, satin black ceramic finishes, and Moonlight Chrome accents across key touchpoints. These materials are selected to complement the model's subdued and uniform aesthetic while maintaining the brand's usual attention to craftsmanship.
3 Sensory floor technology
The SV Black will be the first Range Rover to feature Sensory Floor technology as standard. Working alongside the existing Body-and-Soul-Seat (BASS) system, it incorporates vibration transducers in the floor mats to allow occupants to physically feel music and programmed vibrations. Six preset wellness modes, such as 'Calm' and 'Invigorating', aim to support relaxation or alertness during travel. This system is available exclusively on long-wheelbase SV variants.
4 Tyres
From late 2025, the SV Black (and other Range Rover models) will be offered with new Pirelli P Zero tyres made from over 70 per cent sustainable materials. These include FSC-certified natural rubber, recycled steel, and silica derived from rice husks. This tyre development marks an industry first and aligns with ongoing efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of high-performance vehicles.

Tata Group-owned Jaguar Land Rover's CEO Adrian Mardell to step down, successor to be announced soon
Jaguar Land Rover Chief Executive Officer Adrian Mardell is leaving the maker of luxury sport utility vehicles, as it grapples with higher US tariffs and a controversial makeover of the Jaguar brand. 'Adrian Mardell has expressed his desire to retire from JLR after three years as CEO and 35 years with the company,' a spokesperson said in a statement. 'His successor will be announced in due course.' The company, owned by India's Tata Motors Ltd., was among a number of carmakers to withhold profit guidance at the height of the US tariff uncertainty. JLR, which makes the Range Rover and Land Rover SUVs, does not have any US factories. A video last year teasing Jaguar's revamp as an electric-only brand received intense criticism. Jaguar isn't making any cars until the new lineup is ready. The CEO role has also recently changed hands at several other European carmakers, including Renault SA, Stellantis NV and Volvo Car AB. Jaguar Land Rover joined a growing list of carmakers holding back from providing profit guidance, as US President Donald Trump's higher tariffs continue to wreak havoc on the industry. The British maker of luxury sport utility vehicles 'continues to evaluate the impact of global challenges' and will provide an update at its investor day on June 16, it said in a statement accompanying its annual results. The company normally provides a profit outlook for its new financial year at this stage. Like other automakers, JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors Ltd., is grappling with the financial impact of Trump's tariff chaos. Earlier Tuesday, Nissan Motor Co. also decided against giving a projection, following similar moves by European car companies such as Mercedes-Benz Group AG and Stellantis NV. JLR, which does not have any US factories, had paused shipments to the country in April after Trump's first tariff announcements, before resuming exports this month. Despite the UK striking a deal last week with the US to allow 100,000 British vehicles to be imported into the country at a 10% duty, that's still higher than the 2.5% rate that existed before Trump's initial announcements. JLR's Defender model is made in Slovakia and still subject to the higher 25% import duty. JLR will look at ways to mitigate the impact of higher tariffs, Chief Executive Officer Adrian Mardell said on a call with reporters. Mardell declined to say whether price rises were among those measures. 'We'll wait and see, and reflect before we act,' he said. It remains unclear when the lower UK rate will come into effect, the CEO said. Higher tariffs will have some implication on demand, though premium cars are expected to weather higher levies better, Tata Motors' Chief Financial Officer PB Balaji said on a call. JLR, which accounts for around two-thirds of its Indian parent's sales, will look to other regions, including the UK and newer markets, to mitigate tariff impact. 'We are very clear we will do everything in our hands to drive growth,' Balaji said. JLR will need to keep a close eye on cash and costs, Balaji said. While JLR declined to provide guidance for this financial year, Tata Motors reported profit that beat expectations last quarter. Net income fell 51% — slightly less than expected — to 84.7 billion rupees ($992 million) in the fiscal fourth quarter ended March 31. Revenue matched expectations at 1.2 trillion rupees. Tata Motors also announced a dividend of 6 rupees per share. Profit was boosted by higher volumes at JLR, with the British unit posting a 32% increase in pretax profit to £875 million ($1.2 billion). Still, JLR's revenue decreased 2.5% to £7.7 billion. Tata's passenger vehicle segment revenue fell 13% and its commercial vehicles sales declined 0.5%. JLR will also benefit from lower tariffs in India. In another landmark trade deal, the South Asian nation will lower duties on cars made in the UK, including hybrids and EVs, to as low as 10% from a prevailing tariff of up to 110% over a period of time.

JLR CEO Adrian Mardell retires amid backlash over Jaguar rebranding
Jaguar Land Rover Chief Executive Officer Adrian Mardell is leaving the maker of luxury sport utility vehicles, as it grapples with higher US tariffs and a controversial makeover of the Jaguar brand. 'Adrian Mardell has expressed his desire to retire from JLR after three years as CEO and 35 years with the company,' a spokesperson said in a statement. 'His successor will be announced in due course.' Mardell's departure marks the latest CEO change at a major automaker after new leaders for Renault SA, Stellantis NV and Volvo Car AB. The industry has been battered by a drop in sales in China, weak demand for electric vehicles in Europe, and more recently US President Donald Trump's trade onslaught. JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors Ltd., was among a number of carmakers to withhold profit guidance at the height of the US tariff uncertainty. JLR, which makes the Range Rover and Land Rover SUVs, does not have any US factories. A video last year teasing Jaguar's revamp as an electric-only brand received intense criticism. Jaguar isn't making any cars until the new lineup is ready. During Mardell's tenure, JLR pushed ahead with a strategy of developing fully electric options for all its models by the end of the decade. It's gearing up for the first: the electric Range Rover.

JLR CEO Adrian Mardell to retire after transformative three-year tenure
Adrian Mardell, Chief Executive Officer of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), will step down from his role after nearly three years at the helm and a 35-year career at the company. His successor will be announced in due course, Autocar reports. Mardell took charge in 2023 following the abrupt departure of Thierry Bolloré and has since led the British luxury carmaker through one of its most pivotal transformations. His tenure was marked by a significant financial turnaround, a renewed retail strategy, and the early stages of JLR's shift to an all-electric portfolio. Under his leadership, JLR returned to profitability, driven by strong global demand for its high-margin models, notably the Defender and the Range Rover. These successes helped put the company on track to achieve its targeted 10 per cent operating margin by FY26. Key achievements under his leadership He also oversaw the rollout of JLR's 'House of Brands' strategy, positioning Defender, Discovery, Range Rover, and Jaguar as distinct entities, each with its own brand identity and customer base. But perhaps the most ambitious of Mardell's initiatives has been Jaguar's repositioning as a premium all-electric brand, aimed at rivalling the likes of Bentley rather than BMW or Mercedes-Benz. This new direction was crystallised in the unveiling of the Jaguar Type 00 concept – a dramatic four-door GT EV that Mardell himself described as 'the most fun I've had' during his time at the company. The production version of the car is currently in the final testing phase and is expected to be unveiled by the end of 2025, with a market launch planned for mid-2026. A tough road for JLR Mardell departs at a time when JLR is on firmer ground but still faces headwinds. Chief among them are trade-related hurdles, including newly imposed US tariffs on foreign-built vehicles. While the UK recently negotiated a tariff cap with the US — lowering duties on the first 100,000 vehicles to 10 per cent — units above that limit, including some models built in Slovakia, will attract the full 25 per cent rate. Moreover, the global premium EV market remains volatile, prompting delays such as the Range Rover EV, which was initially slated for a 2025 launch. The company has yet to announce a revised timeline for the model or clarify the production schedule for the new Jaguar EVs.
