Range Rover Unveils Monochrome Powerhouse: The Sport SV Black
Range Rover has revealed the Sport SV Black, a stealthy, all-black evolution of its most powerful performance SUV. Powered by a 635 hp, 553 lb-ft 4.4L Twin Turbo MHEV V8, the SV Black rockets from 0–60 mph in 3.6 seconds and hits a top speed of 180 mph.
Appearing 'dipped in gloss,' the SV Black features a Narvik Black body, black-painted carbon fiber bonnet, 23-inch Gloss Black forged wheels and exclusive black ceramic SV badging. Every detail — down to the quad exhausts, brake calipers and interior finishers — receives a high-gloss black treatment for a bold, commanding presence.
Inside, Ebony Windsor leather performance seats, SV Black illuminated treadplates and Gloss Grand Black accents reinforce the SUV's aggressive luxury. The SV Black also includes cutting-edge tech like 6D Dynamics Suspension and Body and Soul Seats, a wellness-enhancing audio experience. Set to make its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 10–13, 2025), the Range Rover Sport SV Black will be available to order later in 2025.

Range Rover Sport SV Now Full-Time With 626 HP and £140k Price
The Range Rover Sport SV, once a limited-edition headline act, is now sticking around for good. Following the success of the Edition One and Edition Two models, Land Rover has confirmed that the 626-horsepower SV will now be offered as a full production model, slotting in as the flagship performance version of the Range Rover start at £139,995 (around $182,000), while a new variant - the SV Black - raises the bar further with a stealthy aesthetic and even more performance. That one will set buyers back £154,975 or north of $210,000 at current exchange rates. From Special Edition To Showroom Mainstay Originally revealed as a limited-run performance SUV in 2023, the Range Rover Sport SV immediately made waves for its mix of brutal pace and high-end luxury. It features a BMW-sourced 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8, producing 626 hp and 590 lb-ft of torque on overboost. The result is a 2.5-tonne SUV capable of launching from 0–60 mph in just 3.8 seconds - or 3.6 seconds in SV Black makes it the fastest and most powerful Range Rover Sport ever built, and a serious rival to the Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT, and BMW X5 M Competition. Carbon, Ceramics, And 6D Dynamics Beyond the headline figures, the SV boasts serious hardware. 6D Dynamics tech uses cross-linked hydraulic dampers to reduce pitch and dive under braking and acceleration - all without traditional anti-roll bars. In SV mode, the ride height drops by 15mm for a sharper stance and flatter power comes courtesy of carbon ceramic brakes, while optional 23-inch carbon wheels shave off unsprung weight. Land Rover claims they're 41% lighter than standard alloys, improving both handling and ride there's no shortage of Range Rover luxury: Body & Soul seats come with built-in haptic feedback (via SUBPAC tech), high-grade leathers, and a full suite of tech and comfort features. It's just as much a long-distance cruiser as it is a back-road bruiser. SV Black: Murdered Out And Even Faster For those who find the standard SV a bit too subtle, Land Rover now offers the SV Black - finished in Narvik Gloss Black with a carbon hood, black calipers, gloss black quad exhausts, and 23-inch forged wheels. Inside, buyers get Ebony Windsor leather, gloss black trim, and illuminated gets a slight bump too: the SV Black hits 180 mph and cuts the 0–60 mph time to 3.6 seconds, thanks in part to reduced weight and aero tweaks. Verdict With the SV now part of the full-time lineup, Land Rover is giving more buyers access to one of its most extreme performance models to date. It's no longer an invitation-only special - it's a production halo car aimed at stealing market share from the ultra-premium performance SUV still a 2.5-tonne luxury tank. It's still hilariously quick. And now, if you've got $200,000 burning a hole in your bank account, you can actually go and order one. Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

NHTSA launches safety probe of Range Rover Sport SUVs
This story was originally published on Automotive Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Automotive Dive newsletter. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of Defects Investigation opened a preliminary evaluation of roughly 92,000 Range Rover Sport SUVs on June 27 after receiving 12 Vehicle Owner Questionnaires alleging cracked front steering knuckles. The probe extends to 2014-2017 Range Rover Sport models manufactured by Jaguar Land Rover and built on the automaker's L494 chassis. The questionnaires received by the NHTSA allege that one or both of the aluminum front steering knuckles had fractured where the steering knuckle attaches to the upper control arm, which is secured using a pinch bolt. If the aluminum steering knuckle cracks, it can cause the upper control to detach while driving, which can lead to a loss of control that increases the risk of a crash, according to the NHTSA. However, the NHTSA is also not aware of any injuries or accidents as a result of this condition. The purpose of the preliminary evaluation is to determine the scope, severity, and root cause of the condition. Although vehicle manufacturers can initiate many safety recalls, others may be influenced by the outcome of NHTSA investigations or may be ordered by the agency for more serious safety concerns, according to an online consumer guide. The NHTSA is also responsible for monitoring an OEM's corrective action to ensure successful completion of any recall campaign. The Range Rover models built on the automaker's second-generation L494 chassis were produced from 2013 through 2022, but not all models are included in the NHTSA's preliminary evaluation. In May, Ford Motor Co. recalled over 29,000 F-150 Lightning pickups for a similar front suspension concern. The recall was due to an improperly torqued nut for the ball joint which secures the front upper control arm to the knuckle assembly, which may come loose and cause the upper control arm to detach. Ford also recalled 4,600 model year 2024 Mustangs last summer for rear aluminum suspension knuckle casting imperfections that may lead to fractures and increase the risk of a crash.
