Land Rover unwraps next Range Rover SV

Hot on the heels of the new Range Rover comes the Range Rover SV, an SUV from Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations that Land Rover USA says has enough "exclusive design details and material choices," that it offers the customer "greater scope for personalization than ever before."

Land Rover said it will open the SV order books "in early 2022."

The Range Rover's optional BMW-built, 523-hp, 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine is standard on the SV. Range Rover plans to announce SV pricing "sometime in January."

An SV-exclusive front bumper, five-bar grille and SV badges highlight the new SV's exterior, and Land Rover says buyers can choose from seven wheel options. There are 14 color choices in addition to the standard range of colors, and the SV Bespoke Match to Sample paint service "can replicate any exterior color a customer requests, provides virtually limitless scope for individuality," Land Rover says.

Monotone semi-aniline leather is standard with SV embroidery. Land Rover says it will have more details on U.S.-specific optional leathers in January.

The gear shifter, Terrain Response and volume controls are ceramic -- an SVO first -- and there are several sustainably sourced woods available.

Land Rover says the long-wheelbase model is going to offer an optional four-seat setup with a fold-down table and refrigerator.
