The Ultimate Stealth Trim
Following the debut of the Land Rover Range Rover SV Black earlier this year, the British luxury marque has officially priced the special edition at $238,900 MSRP. That figure is slightly higher than the early estimates of around $230,000, but it isn’t surprising given the extensive visual and material changes made to this trim.
As its name suggests, the SV Black is built off the Range Rover SV, already the flagship specification of the full-size SUV. The Black edition takes that template and pushes the aesthetic even further, fully blacking out the exterior and interior to create a more imposing, ultra-premium presence—similar in spirit to blacked-out Cadillac Escalades and Mercedes-Benz G-Wagons often associated with high-profile owners.
Spec Check
While the standard SV often uses bronze-tone accents for contrast, the SV Black eliminates them entirely. Land Rover finishes the exterior in Narvik Black, extending the blackout treatment to the available 22- or 23-inch wheels, the brake calipers, and nearly all exterior trim.
Inside, the monochromatic theme continues. The cabin is offered exclusively in black, though black birch veneers add a subtle two-tone contrast across the dashboard and doors. Standard amenities include the brand’s Body and Soul rear seats and the “world-first” sensory floor, which delivers synchronized vibrations based on audio input to enhance in-cabin immersion.
Mechanically, the SV Black mirrors the standard SV, powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Output is rated at 607 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, enabling a 0–60 mph time of 4.3 seconds, which is comparable to performance-oriented SUVs like the Porsche Cayenne S Coupe.
Elegance With a Dark Edge
Land Rover also offers several add-ons for U.S. buyers, including $5,200 deployable side steps, a $1,200 towing package with Advanced Tow Assist and a tow hitch receiver, and a $350 cold climate package with a heated windshield and heated washer jets. Fully equipped, the Range Rover SV Black can climb past $250,000.
For shoppers who prefer the blackout aesthetic but don’t want to spend Range Rover money, Land Rover has also released black-themed versions of the Range Rover Sport and Defender Octa. The former serves as a smaller, more affordable alternative to the flagship Range Rover, while the latter boasts rugged capability with its off-road-focused ethos.
