If this pleasurable ownership experience continues I am thinking about purchasing another Land Rover model for my wife in the very near future. ![]() We are planning some vacation trips soon and will be traveling in the Range Rover due to all of the comfort and luxury features. The vehicle ride, handling, and power delivery characteristics are great as well. Used Range Rover Sport available from Marshall Land Rover in Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Cambridgeshire, Gloucestershire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire. The gas mileage is a lot better than I expected from a supercharged V8, most of the other supercharged V8's I have owned had terrible fuel mileage like 15-16 MPG, I typically get 21-23 MPG in this Range Rover Sport. The interior quality (fit, finish, etc) is amazing. ![]() I have only driven this one for about 5,000 miles so far, but not one single issue. ![]() I have heard about the lack of reliability with the Land Rover brand over the years so this kept me from trying one. I have owned 48 different vehicles over the last 37 years with 95% of those being American brands. The integrated head restraints make it onto two rear chairs too, but otherwise the interior architecture largely continues unchanged.So far I am highly impressed with this 2020 Range Rover Sport HSE P525. It also incorporates an SV button to activate the SV or a personalised drive mode. Inside, the SV has new seats with integrated head restraints, which can be specified in leather or a technical fabric.Ī new design of steering wheel is smaller and has a thicker rim, with clearly moulded hand positions. The steering ratio has been quickened from 17.5:1 to 13.6:1. There’s also an electronically controlled rear differential (at times in sporty modes, the SV is effectively rear driven) and active rear steer as standard. Whereas the previous SVR came with regular ‘summer’ tyres as standard, here the factory-fit tyres are all-season Michelin Pilot Sport 4s – 285/40 R23s at the front and 305/35 R23s at the rear.Īs well as off-road modes, there are different road-focused drive modes, including SV, which brings a further 15mm suspension drop. “In order to generate that speaks some chassis magic,” said Special Vehicles director Jamal Hameedi, particularly given it is a figure quoted on all-season tyres. JLR says the SV can pull 1.1g laterally, at which point it only has 3.5-4deg of lean. This system can effectively put 2300Nm into roll control and 4000Nm into pitch control. With standard cast-iron rotors and forged alloy wheels, also 23in, the car’s unladen weight is 2560kg. For the first time on a Land or Range Rover, Special Vehicles is offering carbon-ceramic brakes with eight-piston calipers – standard on the limited-run launch-edition model – as well as the first carbonfibre wheels in 23in offered by an OEM.įitted with the optional carbonfibre wheels (saving 36kg) and carbon-ceramic brakes (34kg lighter), the car’s unsprung mass is reduced by 70kg over the regular Sport, says Special Vehicles. The new front treatment is partly necessitated by the increased cooling requirements of the V8 engine – and the brakes. There are subtle design changes over the P530 model, including wider front and rear tracks, increased camber, a new front bumper and grille treatment, side skirts, and a rear bumper with four round exhausts said to be more “honest” than the previous SVR’s square tailpipes. It drives four wheels via an eightspeed automatic gearbox. With peak torque of 590lb ft (briefly available under launch control conditions), the SV can go from 0-62mph in 3.6sec, and all the way to 180mph. Pushing out 626bhp from a 4.4-litre BMW-sourced engine, which is twin-turbocharged and mildly hybridised, the SV trumps the previous SVR’s 542bhp, achieved from a supercharged 5.0-litre V8.
