Land Rover has launched the 2021 Range Rover Sport SVR in India at a starting price of Rs 2.19 crore (ex-showroom, across India). The British luxury carmaker has transformed this luxury SUV into a high-performance beast by swapping the mighty supercharged V8 mill that powers over a two-tonne SUV. Here we are going to tell you everything about the brand-new Range Rover Sport SVR.

The Range Rover Sport has also been transformed into an SVR version which is based on the standard Range Rover. Besides, the SUV is offered with a set of 21-inch alloy wheels.

It is almost 4.9 metres long and has a 2,923mm wheelbase which is identical to the standard model. There are larger air intakes in the remade bumper. However, this SUV comes with Pixel LED headlights rather than a Matrix LED unit. Apart from that, it features a black roof, grille, side view mirrors and bumpers for a sportier appearance. Being a part of the SVR family, it gets the SVR badge.

Interior

Although the Range Rover Sport SVR is a high-performance SUV, Land Rover has upholstered its cabin with premium Ebony Windsor leather and it also includes an extended leather pack. Moreover, the SUV is outfitted with SVR performance seats in the front and an SVR leather steering.

Additionally, Land Rover offers heated front and rear seats, four-zone temperature control and a 19-speaker, 825-watt Meridian surround sound system.
