Welcome to the summit of Mount Range Rover. At this heady height you will find the Range Rover SV Ultra, a car its maker claims is no less than the “pinnacle of Range Rover luxury”.
It’s the toppiest, highest-spec, ahem, range-topping Range Rover ever, offered as a 3.0-litre straight-six plug in hybrid with a P550e badge on the back (able to travel around 57 miles on e-power alone), as a 526bhp 4.4-litre pure V8 in P540 guise, or – later in 2026 – as a fully electric SUV with, probably, enough battery power to recharge Brazil.
But the drivetrain is secondary. Despite being named after a particularly keen brand of footballing enthusiast, the SV Ultra is instead all about the audio, the materials, the finishes, and of course, the fact it’s available by invitation only.
So, the audio. Hoo boy, the audio. It comes fitted with what RR is calling the ‘SV Electrostatic Sound’ system, featuring 21 lightweight “thin-film transducers” integrated within the headrests, seatbacks, the headlining and existing speaker holes.
