Engineering Verdict
“Imperious. The 48V roll control and rear-wheel steering shrink the car around the driver. Noise isolation is near Rolls-Royce levels.”
Range Rover SV specs. The original luxury SUV. BMW V8 Power.

Historical Context
The L460 generation moves the Range Rover upmarket to fight Bentley. It switches from JLR's supercharged V8 to a BMW-sourced Twin-Turbo V8.
Ownership Analysis
Land Rover has a poor reliability reputation, though the BMW engine may improve powertrain durability.
