Tested: We Really Want to Love the 2025 Range Rover Sport SV, But...
But that's not all Land Rover did here. The 23-inch wheels are made from carbon fiber and are the largest production carbon wheels ever made. The front brakes are huge carbon-ceramic discs clamped by eight (yes, eight) equally massive piston calipers — the rears are nearly as meaty too. The hood is made from not one but two different weaves of carbon fiber, the seats are SV-specific sport buckets, and the paint on our test was a spectacular matte rose color. All in, this Rover is an eye-watering $204,875. That's nearly three times as much as a standard Range Rover Sport. High-performance V8s just don't come cheap in 2025. Despite being so pricey and having so much claimed grunt, the Sport SV doesn't always feel as potent as you'd expect. What drive mode you're in has never made more of a difference. Whether you're in Normal or even Dynamic, the SV feels like a regular Range Rover Sport that just so happens to have a V8. It isn't particularly raucous, the gear shifts are slurred for the sake of smoothness, and the throttle pedal is long, meaning you really have to dig in to gain any appreciable speed.

Range Rover SV Black unveiled, gets all-black treatment
The Range Rover SV Black, Land Rover's latest flagship SUV, offers a luxurious all-black design and pioneering Sensory Floor technology. Available for order in late 2025, it features sustainable Pirelli tyres and a 615 PS V8 engine, making its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Check Offers Land Rover has officially unveiled the newest addition to its flagship SUV lineup – the Range Rover SV Black, a model that redefines luxury and innovation for the modern elite. Set to be available for order in late 2025, this ultra-luxurious variant will join the existing SV Serenity and SV Intrepid, further enriching the Range Rover SV family with an all-black, deeply refined design theme and cutting-edge technology. As the name suggests, the SV Black is going all-out with the Black theme. The exterior is finished in Narvik Gloss Black. Every detail—from the polished black grille and gloss black bonnet lettering to the bespoke 23-inch alloy wheels and subtly branded brake calipers— are now finished in black. At the rear, a ceramic SV roundel subtly signifies the vehicle's place in the ultra-premium SV portfolio. Also Read : New Land Rover Defender Octa Black unveiled with darkened, sinister look Inside, the SV Black features an all-new Ebony Near-Aniline leather interior with minimal stitching for a clean, seamless aesthetic. Black birch veneers and satin black ceramic finishes, including on the gear shifter, complement the cabin's rich texture. Moonlight Chrome accents add a sophisticated gleam across the interior, elevating the tactile and visual experience. One of the standout features of the SV Black is its debut of world-first Sensory Floor technology, enhancing Range Rover's existing Body and Soul Seat (BASS) system. This innovation allows occupants to not only hear but also feel the audio experience through synchronized vibrations in the floor mats, powered by transducers embedded in both the seats and the footwells. The thick-pile carpet encourages users to remove their shoes and immerse themselves fully in the experience. The system includes six wellness modes such as 'Calm' and 'Invigorating', designed to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve cognitive alertness during journeys. This technology comes standard on all long-wheelbase SV models, including the new SV Black. Range Rover SV Black comes with an all black interior. Sustainable Performance with Pirelli P Zero Tyres Furthering its commitment to innovation and sustainability, Range Rover is introducing industry-first Pirelli P Zero tyres, constructed from over 70% recycled and bio-based materials. These tyres offer superior performance while integrating eco-conscious materials like FSC-certified natural rubber, recycled steel, and silica from rice husks. Global Debut and Availability The Range Rover SV Black will make its global premiere at the Goodwood Festival of Speed (July 10–13, 2025), alongside the newly revealed Range Rover Sport SV Black. Customers can expect to order the SV Black later this year in a choice of five-seat standard wheelbase or four- and five-seat long wheelbase variants, all powered by a potent 615 PS V8 engine.

Range Rover unveils SV black edition with sensory tech
Range Rover has announced a new addition to its flagship SV portfolio—the Range Rover SV Black , a sophisticated all-black interpretation of luxury set to go on sale in late 2025. Alongside the existing SV Serenity and SV Intrepid models, SV Black will offer a distinctively sleek and stealthy design, complete with gloss black exteriors and rich ebony interiors featuring near-aniline leather, satin black ceramic detailing, and black birch veneers. Design and features Beyond aesthetics, the SV range introduces pioneering in-cabin technology. For the first time, Sensory Floor technology debuts alongside Body-and-Soul-Seat (BASS) systems, both standard on long-wheelbase SV models. This innovative setup uses AI-optimised software to deliver immersive haptic audio feedback via transducers placed in the floor mats and seats. The system enhances the listening experience while offering six wellness programmes designed to reduce stress and improve focus. Range Rover is introducing new Pirelli P Zero tyres made from more than 70 per cent bio-based and recycled materials, including silica from rice husks and FSC®-certified natural rubber. These tyres will be available initially with select 22-inch wheel options. Powered by a 615PS V8 engine, the SV Black will be available in both standard and long-wheelbase variants, in four- and five-seat configurations. It will be previewed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from 10–13 July 2025.

Range Rover Sport SV Black Is a Luxury SUV With a 180-MPH Dark Side
By signing up I agree to the Terms of Use and acknowledge that I have read the Privacy Policy . You may unsubscribe from email communication at anytime. 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 Sport. Prices 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. 0:05 / 0:09 Audi reveals sporty new A5/S5 with an emphasis on design Watch More 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 trim. This 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 handling. Stopping 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 comfort. Inside, 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 treadplates. Performance 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.
