Range Rover Sport SVR - Land Rover's most powerful SUV

The Range Rover Sport SVR is the first “child” developed by the SVO (Special Vehicles Operations) division. This is the pioneering representative of Jaguar Land Rover’s high-performance vehicle lines. And the Range Rover Sport SVR is Land Rover’s most powerful SUV, taking only 4.7 seconds to accelerate from 0-100km/h.

The Range Rover Sport SVR is more powerful with a V8 engine that delivers a maximum capacity of 550 horsepower and new traction technology that helps this car accelerate more impressively in many different driving conditions.

And the Range Rover Sport SVR had its first test at the fastest track in Europe, Rockingham Motor Speedway in Corby, UK. In this test, the Range Rover Sport SVR used standard Michelin 275/45 R21 all-season tires and was tested on grass, ice and sand. At the same time, this test also used the feature of Terrain Response technology generation 2.

On standard asphalt, the Range Rover Sport SVR takes just 4.7 seconds to reach 100km/h.

In Dynamic mode, Terrain Response 2 continuously adjusts the throttle settings and gear changes at high revs. The system also resets the Continual Variable Damping and intervenes in the vehicle's body balance through Anti-Roll Control. With this optimized motion, the Range Rover Sport SVR takes just 4.7 seconds to accelerate from 0-100km/h.

In the second test, the Range Rover Sport SVR SUV was driven on wet grass terrain. Grass/Gravel/Snow driving mode makes the throttle response softer and lighter to help maintain traction while also making gear changes faster and smoother. In addition, the Traction Control System increases the speed of intervention to help prevent tire slippage. The Range Rover SVR takes 5.5 seconds to reach 100km/h.

2nd generation Terrain Response technology works effectively in poor road conditions.

Next up, Arjeplog in northern Sweden was Jaguar Land Rover’s chosen location for its snow and ice test, where optimised system settings and AWD helped the Range Rover Sport SVR hit 100km/h in 11.3 seconds.

The next terrain is Mud and Quagmire, in this terrain, the air suspension is raised and the Traction Control System works effectively to maintain traction. Combined with the AWD system, the Range Rover Sport SVR accelerates from 0-100km/h in 6.5 seconds.

Pendine Sands, located at Carmarthen Bay in South Wales, was chosen by Land Rover for the sand test. Sand mode allows the car to achieve a rapid acceleration increase when pushing the torque up. The transmission gears are also reset to hold the position for a long time while the center differential is locked to maintain thrust. The result is a 5.5-second time for the Range Rover Sport SVR to reach 100km/h.

On sand and gravel roads, the Range Rover Sport SVR only takes 5.3 seconds to reach 100km/h.

The Range Rover Sport SVR's test was completed on a rocky terrain. The second generation of Terrain Response technology reduces acceleration response to reduce sudden acceleration impacts, while the air suspension is stiffened to help stabilize and reduce body roll. At the 32% incline, the SVR proved to be quite agile in its movements. The quarry is the perfect location for gravel terrain conditions and the Range Rover Sport SVR completed its test in just 5.3 seconds.

This performance of the Range Rover Sport SVR is the clearest proof of Land Rover's high-performance SUV. And Since officially going on sale in spring 2015, the Range Rover Sport SVR has sold more than 285,000 vehicles worldwide.
