British luxury marquee brand Range Rover is set to broaden its SV offering in late 2025 with the introduction of the Range Rover SV Black. This new derivative will join the existing SV Serenity and SV Intrepid models, each presenting a distinct take on modern luxury, from the ‘dipped in black’ theme of the SV Black to the bold dynamism of SV Intrepid and the elevated luxury of SV Serenity.
Beyond visual enhancements, Range Rover is also upgrading in-car audio and wellness with the exclusive introduction of Rear Body-And-Soul-Seat (BASS) and Sensory Floor technology on flagship SV models. This the company shared marks a world-first, with BASS now standard across the entire SV range. The innovative Sensory Floor technology, available on updated SV models, integrates haptic feedback through the floor mats, complementing the BASS transducers in the seats. This creates an unparalleled, full-body audio experience, allowing occupants to physically feel music and enhance relaxation through six dedicated wellness programmes. These programmes, ranging from 'Calm' to 'Invigorating', are designed to reduce stress and improve concentration. The new technology will be fitted as standard to the front passenger and rear footwells of all long-wheelbase Range Rover SV models.
In a further industry first, Range Rover will introduce Pirelli P Zero tyres across its range from later in 2025. These specially developed tyres boast over 70 percent bio-based and recycled materials, including silica from rice husks and FSC-certified natural rubber, balancing high performance, durability and sustainability. They'll initially be available on selected 22-inch wheel options.
The Range Rover SV Black is a celebration of the all-black aesthetic, creating what the company claims is the most discreet and stealthy Range Rover to date. Its exterior is finished in Narvik Gloss Black, complemented by a polished Gloss Black mesh grille, Gloss Black bonnet lettering, and subtle dark gloss grille oval. Profile enhancements include 23-inch alloy wheels with a Gloss Black finish, subtly branded Gloss Black brake callipers, and a black ceramic SV roundel at the rear.
On the inside, the cabin features satin black finishes with Near-Aniline Ebony leather, distinctive perforations and unique stitching. Black birch veneers and a satin black ceramic gear shifter add to the tactile luxury. Moonlight Chrome detailing extends throughout the cabin, creating a dark, jewel-like ambience.
The Range Rover SV Black will be available for order in late 2025 in five-seat standard wheelbase, or four- or five-seat long wheelbase configurations, powered by a 615PS V8 engine. It will make its preview debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK from 10-13 July 2025, alongside the newly announced Range Rover Sport SV Black.
