New Range Rover SV Ultra Gets PHEV, V8 and Future EV Option

• Range Rover SV Ultra introduces electrostatic speaker technology to an automotive cabin for the first time.

• The flagship model offers plug-in hybrid and V8 powertrains, with an EV planned later.

• Exotic materials like satin platinum, rattan palm veneer, and Kvadrat remix textile are found on all surfaces.

Range Rover has introduced the SV Ultra, a new top-tier version of its most premium luxury SUV line. This one places an added emphasis on cabin materials, audio technology and passenger wellness features.

The model sits at the summit of the Range Rover SV portfolio and will be offered with P550e PHEV and P615 V8 powertrains. A fully electric version is scheduled to follow later this year.

The SV Ultra debuts a new exterior finish called Titan Silver, developed exclusively for the model. The paint uses fine aluminum flakes and pigment technology to create a highly reflective surface intended to resemble liquid metal. The finish is paired with Satin Platinum Atlas and Silver Chrome detailing on exterior elements, including the grille and side graphic.

The super Rover rolls on 23-inch alloy wheels with Satin Platinum inserts and updated Range Rover centre caps. Other paint options will be available, but Titan Silver is the model’s signature colour.

Inside, the SV Ultra introduces a light duo-tone cabin in Orchid White and Cinder Grey, using Ultrafabrics, a leather-free material. The seats feature a laser-crafted mosaic pattern and detailed perforation across upper sections, inserts and backrests.

Range Rover has also added a new rattan palm veneer with an open-pore finish. The material is tinted in Orchid White and runs through key areas of the cabin, including below the central touchscreen, the rear club table and the powered door for the integrated cooler compartment.

Additional interior details include gloss white ceramic elements, Orchid Pearl SV speakers, Orchid White seatbelts, SV Ultra treadplates and a scatter cushion made with Kvadrat remix textile using wool and recycled polyester.

The largest technical update is the SV Electrostatic Sound system, offered as an option exclusively on SV models. This is the first automotive application of high-fidelity electrostatic speaker technology.

The system uses 21 thin-film transducers integrated into redesigned headrests, seatbacks, the headlining and other speaker locations. The electrostatic panels are supported by five bass loudspeakers and Body and Soul Seat technology, which uses seat-integrated transducers to deliver vibration linked to audio playback. This technology uses up to 90% less power and cuts mass by an equal amount compared with conventional speakers.

The SV Ultra also combines Body and Soul Seats with a Sensory Floor system. Four transducers beneath the passenger footwell mats provide additional haptic feedback, extending the audio experience beyond the seats.

Six wellness programs are available through the seat and floor systems, with modes ranging from calm to invigorating. The programs are designed to support relaxation, focus, and heart rate variability.
