Up front, the bumper and grille design on the Sport SV has been slightly tweaked as well. The square tailpipes from the SVR have been ditched for round exhausts on the SV.

Inside, the Range Rover Sport SV gets new seating with integrated head restraints. Buyers have the option to choose a leather or technical fabric for the headrests. The steering wheel design has also been changed on the Sport SV and it now gets a thicker rim. The steering comes with integrated controls with a special ‘SV’ drive mode button. The SUV is equipped with a 29-speaker Meridian sound system.

Geraldine Ingham, Managing Director, Range Rover, said, “New Range Rover Sport SV exemplifies Range Rover’s philosophy, not just as a bold evolution beyond its Range Rover Sport SVR predecessor, but also in the personalised approach we are taking with our most discerning clients.”
