Range Rover Sport SV Black Edition Breaks Cover in South Africa After Global Goodwood Debut

Luxury SUV lovers in South Africa now have another reason to celebrate, as JLR (Jaguar Land Rover) has officially introduced the Range Rover Sport SV Black Edition to local shores. This limited-edition masterpiece made its global debut at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed and now lands in South Africa with exclusivity, power, and sleek black aesthetics at its core.

A Darker, Bolder Statement

Following the reveal of the “Edition Two” earlier this year, the SV Black Edition is the latest bespoke creation from JLR’s SV division. Unlike its predecessor, this new edition leans fully into its name, offering an entirely Narvik Black exterior enhanced by a gloss black finish package, black carbon fibre bonnet, and gloss black Brembo brake calipers. Even the signature SV roundel on the tailgate receives a ceramic black makeover for an added touch of stealth.

Complementing the shadowy theme are massive 23-inch gloss black forged alloy wheels and black quad exhaust tips, all combining to form an ultra-aggressive and polished exterior look.

A Cabin Cloaked in Elegance

Inside, the SV Black Edition continues its theme of dark luxury. Unlike Edition Two, which offered customisation options, the Black Edition comes exclusively with Ebony Windsor leather upholstery, paired with gloss black trims and tasteful copper highlights on key touchpoints such as the steering wheel, gear lever, and centre console.

Forged carbon fibre detailing with bespoke script branding adorns various interior elements, while SV-branded illuminated treadplates and SV Performance seats (minus the carbon backrests) complete the cabin’s high-performance luxury experience.

Power Unchanged – Still Brutally Fast

Under the hood, the SV Black Edition remains mechanically identical to the standard SV variant. It is powered by the BMW-sourced 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 mild-hybrid engine, delivering 467kW and 750Nm. When Dynamic Launch Mode is activated, torque temporarily increases to 800Nm, allowing a 0–100 km/h sprint in just 3.7 seconds. Top speed? A blistering 290 km/h.

The drivetrain is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF, with power sent to all four wheels. Additional dynamic features include 6D adaptive dampers, All-Wheel Steering, Active Torque Vectoring, revised chassis and suspension, and an Active Locking Differential, all working in harmony for thrilling performance and agility.
