More power! 2024 Range Rover SV scores higher tune for petrol V8 among other model-wide updates

Land Rover has a new top dog in town, revealing an updated Range Rover SV with up to 454kW from a twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine.

Of course, mild-hybrid technology is employed in an effort to keep fuel consumption down, but economy figures are yet to be revealed.

The engine also outputs 750Nm, making it a genuine rival to performance SUVs like the Aston Martin DBX and Mercedes-AMG GLS.

There’s also a new plug-in powertrain on offer with an updated 160kW electric motor, which is paired to a 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine for a combined output of 338kW in P460e form.

This is a step up from the Range Rover 440 SE PHEV, which punches out 324kW, but still not as much as the 375kW 510 HSE PHEV.

The P400 engine is also now culled, and with pricing now kicking off from $250,350 before on-road costs (up $1708) for the D350 HSE grade, it looks like the entry-level D300 SE that was available from $226,806 is now also discontinued.

Other changes in the MY24 Range Rover line-up include an updated 13.1-inch Pivi Pro multimedia system with an updated user interface that promises “approximately 80 per cent of tasks can be performed within two taps of the home screen”.

Land Rover is also stepping up its adaptive cruise control with a Country Road Assist feature that “uses navigation data to automatically adjust the target speed, taking into account bends in the road and changes to the speed limit, effortlessly accelerating or decelerating the vehicle accordingly”.

Inside is an updated 13.1-inch Pivi Pro multimedia system.

The brand’s Dynamic Response Pro that debuted with the Range Rover Sport last year also makes its way to the Range Rover luxury SUV that actively counters body roll when cornering.

Finally, Adaptive Off-Road Cruise Control is added, enabling a low-level of autonomous driving when away from the blacktop.

Full Australian pricing and specification for the updated Range Rover line-up is expected soon.
