~$135,000
Engine: 5.0L supercharged V8
Torque: 700 Nm
0–100 km/h: ~4.3 s
The Range Rover Sport SVR was a defining product for Jaguar Land Rover — transforming the traditionally composed and luxurious SUV into a loud, fast, and unapologetically aggressive performance machine. Powered by a 5.0L supercharged V8 borrowed from the Jaguar F-Type R, the SVR delivered 575 hp and 4.3-second 0–100 km/h acceleration, all while roaring through a titanium exhaust with active valves.
Unlike the full-size Range Rover, the Sport SVR was shorter, lower, and more dynamic, with stiffer adaptive air suspension, active rear locking differential, and faster steering. The performance-focused tuning made it surprisingly agile on twisting roads, with minimal body roll and ferocious traction thanks to its AWD system.
Inside, the SVR featured optional carbon fiber trim, deeply bolstered bucket seats, and aluminum pedals — giving it a cabin far more aligned with sports cars than traditional SUVs. It also retained Land Rover DNA with Terrain Response 2, hill descent, and real off-road ability.
The SVR’s character was defined not only by numbers, but by emotion: the brutal soundtrack, throttle immediacy, and willingness to provoke oversteer made it one of the most emotional performance SUVs ever built.
The Range Rover Sport SVR (L494) earns its place in the performance registry as the rawest and most charismatic version of the Range Rover Sport lineage, and as the final celebration of Jaguar Land Rover’s iconic 5.0L supercharged V8 before electrification.

SUV
Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)
“Range Rover” denotes Land Rover’s luxury SUV lineup. The “Sport” name was first used in 2005 and reflects this model’s sportier driving dynamics and more compact footprint compared to the flagship Range Rover. Though it shares some components with its larger sibling, the Sport is aimed at buyers wanting more agility and driver engagement without sacrificing off-road prowess or luxury.
Body & Interior Colors and Rims
The Range Rover Sport was offered in a rich spectrum of finishes, including classic Land Rover tones like Fuji White, Santorini Black, and Indus Silver, as well as bolder hues such as Firenze Red, Carpathian Grey, and Spectral Racing Green (SV Bespoke). Later models introduced satin matte factory finishes and contrast roofs.
Interior materials included Windsor leather, perforated semi-aniline leather, or SVR-specific suede inserts. Cabin themes featured Ebony, Almond, Espresso, and two-tone options like Ebony/Pimento. Veneers ranged from straight grain wood and Shadow Zebrano to gloss black or carbon fiber.
Wheel options spanned from 19” to 22” across trims, including diamond-turned and gloss black styles. The SVR stood out with its forged 22” alloys, optional carbon fiber accents, and quad exhausts.

vs Competitors
Key rivals include the BMW X5 M, Mercedes-AMG GLE 63, Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and Audi SQ7. The Range Rover Sport distinguishes itself with superior off-road tech, air suspension with terrain response, and a more aristocratic image. While others may win on track performance, the Sport remains the most capable all-rounder when pavement ends.
Fun Fact
The Range Rover Sport SVR held the record for the fastest SUV around the Nürburgring in 2014 (8:14 minutes). It also featured in several James Bond stunt sequences, including Spectre, due to its combination of agility, noise, and visual drama.
