- Land Rover is set to reveal the 2024 Range Rover Sport SV on May 31.
- A teaser video posted to the official Land Rover YouTube page shows the Sport SV clowning around.
- The company promises the new SV will be “the fastest, most dynamic and technologically advanced Range Rover Sport ever.”
Mark your calendars. Land Rover is set to reveal the 2024 Range Rover Sport SV on May 31. The company released a short teaser video on its official YouTube channel marking the announcement. Based on the video’s description, it looks like the upcoming SV will be a replacement for the current Range Rover Sport SVR.
The Range Rover Sport has always been about wrapping performance and luxury into a single SUV package. The new SV looks to follow that trend, with extra emphasis on the sportiness. While storming through the sandy dunes surrounding Dubai, the driver in the video can be seen switching to “SV Mode” before showing a paddle shifter illuminated in red. The prominence of the paddle shifter is a recurring theme in the short teaser. As is the playfulness of a sliding Range Rover, which is shown repeatedly in the video.
The supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 from the Supercharged and SVR models already makes 518 horsepower and 575 pound-feet of torque in each respective SUV. Both provide blisteringly quick acceleration as is, but Land Rover promises the new SV will be “the fastest, most dynamic and technologically advanced Range Rover Sport ever.”
With six selectable drive modes for the all-wheel-drive system, and modes for snow, mud, sand, and rock crawling, the current SVR already offers a pretty sophisticated package. For most people who aren’t Bond villains (or henchmen), off-road features on the $100,000 luxury SUV are more for bragging rights than actual usage. That’s not expected to change when the new Range Rover Sport SV arrives.
