2022 Range Rover Sport

V8-powered Range Rover Sport P530 back in SA line-up!

The Range Rover Sport P530 has returned to the local line-up, offering 390 kW from its twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance. Here’s what it costs…

When the 3rd-generation Range Rover Sport debuted in South Africa back in 2022, fewer than 60 units (all in “First Edition” guise) of the P530 flagship were allocated to Mzansi. Now, however, this V8 powertrain has quietly returned to the local line-up.

Yes, after a bit of a hiatus, the Range Rover Sport P530 is back, again powered by a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine with mild-hybrid assistance. As a reminder, this BMW-sourced (N63) motor generates 390 kW and 750 Nm, peak outputs delivered to all 4 wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.

That’s enough, according to the British automaker, to propel the Solihull-built premium SUV from zero to 100 kph in 4.5 seconds. The powertrain’s listed combined fuel consumption, meanwhile, comes in at 11.8 L/ 100 km.

Thanks to the eagle-eyed folks over at duoporta.com, we can confirm this powertrain is again available locally, though now in the following 2 forms (with the “First Edition” having long since fallen away): the Range Rover Sport P530 Dynamic HSE starting at R2 859 000 and the Range Rover Sport P530 Autobiography kicking off at R2 928 200.

Summary

I won’t tease you – I loved the D350 at once. The turbodiesel variant is by no means emphatically the better car, but we gelled almost immediately. I appreciated the tractable and linear way it would deliver its full wad of 700 Nm, and whoever claimed that a diesel engine sounds agricultural should be forced to sit behind the exhaust pipe of an Ingenium-engined D350 derivative until they come to their senses.

It’s a primal “climbs up your spine” affair, especially when you’re leaning on the throttle. On that note – in the D350 Autobiography, zero to 100 kph can be conquered in 5.8 sec and it will max out at 234 kph.

You can compare that to the PHEV variant which accomplishes similar stats (0-100 kph in a claimed 5.5 sec before topping out at 225 kph). What followed was another 130 km trip across the Cape with a smile grafted firmly across my face. The D350 Autobiography is the one I’d have – no question about it.

 
626bhp Range Rover Sport SV permanently added to line-up

Super-SUV is offered in either 'standard' SV form or more hardcore - and quicker - SV Black edition

The Range Rover Sport SV has been made a permanent member of JLR's model line-up.

The super-SUV arrived in 2024 and was sold in limited numbers as part of Edition One and Edition Two batches.

JLR has now added two variants to the Range Rover Sport line-up: a standard SV and a more hardcore SV Black edition.

Both are powered by a BMW-derived 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V8, putting out 626bhp and 553 lb ft of torque.

In the standard SV, this is good for a 0-60mph time of just 3.8sec and all the way to a limited top speed of 165mph.

The Black cuts the sprint time by 0.2sec and can continue to 180mph. That extra acceleration is down to the Black's use of carbonfibre throughout, such as the bonnet.

Underneath, both versions get the same 6D Dynamics suspension technology that made its debut on the limited-run model and is now featured on the Land Rover Defender Octa. It works to improve handling and performance by effectively eliminating body roll.

Range Rover Sport SV Black Locked in For SA

The Range Rover Sport SV Black makes its public debut at Goodwood soon, but officially, this 467 kW monster is confirmed for South Africa.

Visually, the Range Rover Sport SV Black lives up to its name, with detailing and finishes all in black. The exterior is Narvik Black and the addition of the full Narvik Gloss Black Exterior pack further complements its striking looks and presence. There’s a black-painted carbon fibre bonnet, 23-inch forged alloy wheels in gloss black, with black brake callipers and black quad exhaust tips. Even the SV logo is in a black ceramic finish!

Step inside that plush interior and there are sculpted performance seats finishing in Ebony Windsor leather. There are subtle reminders that you’re in something special, with unique SV Black illuminated treadplates.

The ultra luxurious performance monster features a 467 kW and 750 Nm 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged mild-hybrid V8 petrol engine. Range Rover claims 0-100 kph in just 3.7 seconds and it’ll run to a top speed of 290 kph.

As a reminder, this powertrain is not a Jaguar Land Rover unit, but rather sourced from BMW and keen-eyed petrolheads will quickly recognise this is the identical powerplant from the BMW X5 M Competition, but has been cranked up for the RR.

 
New Range Rover Sport SV Black Edition gets monochrome treatment for ultimate sporting luxury

Range Rover Sport SV Black takes the timeless all-black aesthetic to a new level with full exterior and interior treatment

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.

 
The 626bhp Range Rover Sport SV is now a £140k full production model

No longer limited, anyone can bag a full fat Rangie. Plus: there’s a new SV Black

The Range Rover Sport SV was a limited edition 2.5-tonne V8 SUV capable of outrageous speed and luxury. It is now a full production 2.5-tonne V8 SUV capable of outrageous speed and luxury.

Yes folks, “following the highly successful launch of Edition One and Edition Two”, Range Rover has now added the SV to the full-time Range Rover line-up. So if you want to buy an outrageously fast, luxury hippo that’ll dance around a track, have at it.

To recap: the SV gets BMW’s 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, able to punch out 626bhp and 590lb ft on overboost. It also gets something called ‘6D Dynamics’ tech, which deploys cross-linked hydraulic dampers that pump fluid around to resist roll, and compression under pitch and dive. Basically: point, hose, very much hold-on-tight.

If you want a little more hold-on-tight, and the addition of the SV is just a little too common for you, Range Rover has also revealed a special SV ‘Black’. That’s the extra from a Guy Ritchie film staring at you, above.
