New Range Rover Sport SV Carbon sets a high benchmark in luxury SUVs

The Range Rover Sport SV Carbon has been unveiled, adding a new flagship model that starts at £165,045, making it nearly £25,000 pricier than the standard SV model. This new variant features numerous enhancements, including carbon-fibre components and exclusive design options. While it comes with a range of curated colours and a slew of premium features like 23-inch forged alloy wheels, certain key carbon elements remain optional, pushing the final price to over £185,000 with full customization. Under the hood, it retains the powerful 4.4-litre V8 engine, delivering 627bhp and employing a sophisticated all-wheel drive system.

The introduction of the SV Carbon model highlights not only the escalating costs associated with luxury vehicles but also the pressure on manufacturers to deliver more personalization options. This approach is increasingly appealing to affluent customers who seek exclusivity and cutting-edge features in their vehicles. However, the significant price jump raises questions about the affordability and accessibility of such luxury vehicles. As competition intensifies among high-end SUVs, the need for manufacturers to justify costs through unique offerings becomes critical.
