2023 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SV 4.4L V8 MHEV 8AT AWD (635 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Range Rover is known for offering a sportive and luxurious vehicle packed in an SUV body. The new Range Rover Sport SV takes the “sportive” title to new heights as it comes equipped with a 626 hp 4.4-liter Twin-Turbo MHEV V8 petrol engine that propels the car to a staggering max speed of 180 mph (290 kph).

For a more comprehensive approach to its costumers’ preferences, Range Rover also offers a hybrid version of the new model where the electric powertrain is coupled with a 3.0-liter six-cylinder petrol engine to provide 542 hp while also offering a fully electric driving range of up to 75 miles (121 km).

This update adapts the car to an urban driving necessity, enabling the driver to make short trips only using electric power quietly and responsively.

Dynamic capabilities are enhanced by the unique 6D Dynamics suspension system, an innovative technology that combines hydraulic interlinked dampers, adjustable air springs, and pitch control to increase grip and stability in high-speed corners and sudden accelerations.

To complement the balancing capabilities, the Range Rover Sport SV is the first production car to offer 23-inch carbon fiber wheels with a total weight reduction of over 77 lbs (35 kg), compared to the standard 23-inch cast-alloy wheels.

A vehicle with this size and power needs a significant force to stop, and Range Rover ensures that the braking capabilities match the speed achievements of the car with the addition of Carbon Ceramic Brakes for the first time on a vehicle constructed by them.

The reduction of unsprung mass is just a little addition to the fact that the ceramic brakes offer a way better performance at high temperatures. Over and above this, the wheels are equipped with the largest front calipers ever installed on a Range Rover. The unique eight-piston Brembo Octyma calipers are specifically developed for this vehicle.

To fully utilize the enhanced dynamic capabilities of the new Range Rover Sport SV, drivers can elevate the car’s sporty character by simply pressing the newly introduced SV Mode button located on the steering wheel.

Going beyond the existing Dynamic mode of the Range Rover Sport, SV Mode fine-tunes various aspects of the vehicle. This includes optimizing the steering, eight-speed automatic gearbox, throttle response, exhaust sound, and the 6D Dynamics suspension system. Combining these adjustments results in an exhilarating and immersive driving experience, maximizing the car’s dynamic potential.

Elevating the feeling of connection to a new level, the new Range Rover Sport SV introduces the Body and Soul Seat (BASS), an immersive audio experience that brings wellness benefits by allowing front seat occupants to sense the sound physically through synchronized audio vibrations. Setting a new precedent, this is the first production vehicle to integrate a tactile audio system developed by SUBPAC.
