The facelifted Range Rover Sport SV has been spotted with a new rear end featuring a center-mounted dual exhaust system.
The third-generation Range Rover Sport still looks fresh, but it was introduced in 2022. Given this, it’s not surprising that a facelifted prototype was recently spotted testing near the Nürburgring.
Covered in black and white camouflage, the updated Range Rover Sport SV features a subtly revised front end and a modified grille. We can also see a sportier central intake with new outer elements featuring horizontal fins.
The rest of the design is largely the same, but the facelifted crossover has a sportier rear end with a center-mounted dual exhaust system. There’s also a new rear bumper with an integrated diffuser and a lower lip.
These are relatively minor updates, but the production model could include further changes, including restyled wheels and updated lighting units. It remains to be seen and it’s unclear if there will be any significant changes to the interior.
The current Range Rover Sport SV features a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine that produces 626 hp (467 kW / 635 PS) and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque. It is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel drive system. This setup helps the model accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.7 seconds before reaching a top speed of 180 mph (290 km/h).
Very little information is currently available about this high-performance crossover, but it is expected to launch in late 2026 or 2027. This suggests it could arrive around the same time as, or slightly after, the Range Rover Sport Electric.
We haven’t heard much about that specific model recently, but spy photographers spotted an undisguised prototype about a year ago. It will likely share its powertrain with the Range Rover Electric, featuring a 117 kWh battery pack and a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system that will generate 542 hp (404 kW / 550 PS) of power and 627 lb-ft (849 Nm) of torque.
