Range Rover SV Ultra

Land Rover has revealed the Range Rover SV Ultra, positioned as the highest-spec version of its flagship SUV. The SV Ultra builds on the standard SV with a stronger focus on material finishes and in-cabin technologies, particularly around audio and occupant comfort, rather than changes to the vehicle’s design or layout.

  2. Electrostatic sound system with 21 integrated speakers
  3. Body and Soul Seats and Sensory Floor add haptic feedback

Range Rover SV Ultra: interior and features

The SV Ultra gets a new Orchid White and Cinder Grey interior finish. The seats feature a mosaic perforation pattern, and the cabin also gets gloss white ceramic finish on the gear lever and buttons in the centre console. A rattan palm wood veneer finish replaces conventional trim, running across the dashboard and door panels. Other elements include illuminated SV Ultra sill plates, configurable ambient lighting, four-zone climate control, cabin air purification and electrically operated rear sunblinds.

The SUV gets a 13.1-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 13.7-inch digital driver display, heads-up display and 13.1-inch rear seat entertainment screens. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth and voice control are also included.

A key highlight is the new electrostatic sound system, which uses 21 thin-film speakers integrated into the headrests, seatbacks, headlining and other parts of the cabin. These work with the Body and Soul Seat (BASS) system and Sensory Floor, which use seat-mounted and floor-mounted transducers to convert audio into physical haptic feedback. The system also offers six wellness modes, which adjust vibration patterns for relaxation or focus.

Range Rover SV Ultra: powertrain

The SV Ultra is offered with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine producing 537hp and 750Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive. It has a claimed 0-100kph time of 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 261kph.
