2024 Land Rover Range Rover SV Review / Who is this $300,000+ SUV for?

There’s a lot of things that you can get for around $300,000 CAD. It’s a good down payment on a really nice house. Or a lavish vacation for the next decade. Or a luxury SUV. The SUV which I’m referring to is the 2024 Range Rover SV P615. But should you really spend this much money on a car or is it better spent on something else?

This Range Rover SV is the top trim which means that it has more power than the First Edition I previously reviewed in 2022. It uses the same 4.4L bi-turbo V8 engine, sourced from BMW, which produces 606 hp & 553 lb-ft of torque (452 Kw / 750 Nm). This engine also receives a 48-volt mild-hybrid system to aid with response. In an SUV that tips the scales at 2,708 kg (5,970 lbs), the Rover SV can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds.

This big & powerful Range Rover SV is rated for 15.2 L/100km (15.5 MPG) in a city and 11 L/100km (21.4 MPG) on a highway. The highway fuel economy is quite easy to reach as I noticed my average fuel consumption quickly drop the further I drove. Sadly, in a city environment, it’s a lot harder to reach the rated fuel consumption rating. Realistically, if you stick to just city driving, you’ll be looking at closer to 16 or 17 L/100km.
