Appearing as if ‘dipped in black,’ Range Rover today previews the Range Rover Sport SV Black, featuring exquisite and uncompromising attention to detail. Building on the Range Rover Sport SV’s reputation as the ultimate luxury performance SUV, this introduction – which will be available to order later in 2025 – celebrates the timeless appeal of an all-black aesthetic, building on a specification already hugely popular among Range Rover Sport clients. Distinctive black finishes, including for the first time, the Range Rover SV roundel and brand badges on the front grille, deliver a bold and defiant interpretation of stealth-like, sporting luxury.

Range Rover Sport SV Black takes on an even more purposeful character for the marque. Every detail on the exterior has been transformed with a Gloss Black finish, bringing an even more commanding attitude to the most powerful Range Rover Sport ever.

Martin Limpert, Global Managing Director, Range Rover, said: “Range Rover Sport SV Black represents the essence of sporting luxury; a statement of audacious rebellion. We’ve created a vehicle that combines pure power and performance with a gritty, uncompromising attitude that demands attention. Range Rover’s design team has gone beyond anything we’ve offered previously with black packs or options, giving every single exterior and interior element a sophisticated Narvik black treatment; it appears to the eye, as if the vehicle has been dipped in gloss. We extend this attention to detail to new finishes for the first time on Range Rover, truly showcasing our craftsmanship.” 


Range Rover Sport SV Black

Range Rover Sport SV Black takes sporting attitude to the next level. A dynamic and assertive take on the all-black theme, Range Rover Sport SV Black commands attention with its Narvik Black body and full Narvik Gloss Black Exterior Pack, which accentuates its muscular stance and focused presence.

Amplifying the full monochrome finish is a black-painted carbon fibre bonnet, and Gloss Black Forged 23-inch alloy wheels with Gloss Black brake calipers and Gloss Black quad exhausts. Black is exquisitely expressed in every application – in particular with the new black ceramic SV roundel on the tailgate.

The ultimate performance SUV has a dark and purposeful interior to match its commanding exterior. New SV Black illuminated treadplates make a strong visual statement whenever the door is opened, while the sculpted performance seats finished in tactile Ebony Windsor leather. Gloss Grand Black finishers complete the look inside, completing the exquisitely judged blend of sporting attitude and luxurious, technical finishes.  

Range Rover Sport SV is the most powerful and dynamic Range Rover Sport ever, blending supreme performance and dynamism with peerless Range Rover capability, refinement and reductive design. Its array of performance enhancing technologies includes the most advanced suspension system in its class – 6D Dynamics Suspension, and ‘Body and Soul Seats’ a sensory audio system with wellness benefits.

Powered exclusively by a 467kW, 750Nm 4.4litre Twin Turbo MHEV V8 petrol engine, Range Rover Sport SV Black is capable of accelerating from 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 180mph. 

Range Rover is now also introducing a new specially tuned Range Rover Sport SV globally; featuring the revolutionary 6D Dynamics technology and a 467kW Twin Turbo V8 mild-hybrid powertrain, with a top speed of 266 km/h. Clients can now configure their Range Rover Sport SV at www.rangerover.com

The Range Rover Sport SV Black will be previewed at Goodwood Festival of Speed, UK, from Thursday 10 to Sunday 13 July 2025. It will be available for clients to order from late 2025.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
