Build Quality and Durability
The Range Rover SV is built on JLR’s MLA-Flex architecture, using a mixed-metal body structure of aluminum, high-strength steel, and composites. The fit and finish is exceptional, with ceramic details, electroplated metal switchgear, and semi-aniline leather hide carefully selected by SV craftspeople. The air suspension with adaptive dynamics provides both cloud-like comfort on highways and genuine off-road capability. The pre-emptive suspension system uses navigation data and front-facing cameras to adjust the dampers before the car reaches road imperfections.
