The new Range Rover Sport SV will be available exclusively to select clients in limited edition SV Edition One specification for its first year of production. The launch also coincides with updates across the Range Rover Sport family, including a new plug-in electric hybrid variant and the latest Pivi Pro infotainment system. In terms of pricing, this will most likely rank above the P615 SV which is accompanied by a R4 million price-tag.

At the heart of the Range Rover Sport SV lies the most powerful engine ever fitted to a Range Rover. The 4,4-litre Twin-Turbo MHEV V8 petrol engine delivers an impressive 467 kW and 750 N.m, which is 44 kW more than the supercharged SVR’s power output. This hearty power plant enables the super SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 3,7 seconds. With a top speed of 290 km/h, this remarkable performance is accompanied by a 15% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to the previous model, by way of its new mild-hybrid tech.

Additionally, the Range Rover Sport nameplate now includes a hybrid offering namely; the P460e, which is motivated by a hybrid-assisted 3,0-litre inline-six petrol engine producing 338 kW and 800 N.m.

One of the standout features of the Range Rover Sport SV is its revolutionary 6D Dynamics suspension system. This cutting-edge technology combines hydraulic interlinked dampers, height-adjustable air springs, and pitch control to maintain a near-level stance during extreme acceleration, braking, and cornering. By removing the need for conventional anti-roll bars, this system enhances both handling and comfort, offering a truly dynamic driving experience.

The Range Rover Sport SV also places a strong emphasis on weight reduction and aerodynamics. The introduction of the beguiling 23-inch Carbon Fibre Wheel option contributes to a total weight saving of 76 kg, resulting in improved handling, acceleration, and ride quality. Additionally, the SUV offers the option of lightweight and powerful Brembo Carbon Ceramic Brakes, providing exceptional stopping power and enhancing overall performance.

In terms of design, the Range Rover Sport SV exhibits an assertive and aerodynamically honed exterior. The front-end, carbon fibre bonnet, and quad tailpipe finishers add to its aggressive yet sophisticated appearance. Inside the cabin, the SV Edition One specification boasts exclusive branding and features, creating a truly luxurious and performance-focused environment.

To enhance the sensory experience, the Range Rover Sport SV introduces the innovative Body and Soul Seat (BASS). This multi-dimensional audio system, in collaboration with SUBPAC technology, allows occupants to feel the sound, providing an immersive and engaging in-car audio experience. The Range Rover Sport utilizes the Pivi Pro4 infotainment system, which is composed of a floating glass design 13,1-inch touchscreen.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
