Range Rover SVthe top trim of the British brand’s flagship SUV, has received a Black edition that applies a darkened-out treatment to its exterior and interior bits, along with added features. The Range Rover luxury off-roader gets Burford and Lansdowne editions in some foreign markets, whereas the Ranthambore and Con versions are exclusive to India. Notably, this comes just days after Black editions for the Defender Octa and Range Rover Sport SV were unveiled globally.
- Black-themed logos, alloy wheels and upholstery
- Transducers in floor and seats that generate vibrations in sync with music
- The all-black SUV is powered by a BMW-sourced 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine

Range Rover SV Black edition: What’s new?
Narvik Gloss Black shade, Body‑and‑Soul Seat sound system
Like the Sport and Defender Black edition SUVs, the Range Rover features the Narvik Gloss Black paint, which is the “darkest and stealthiest” on an RR SUV ever, as per the British marque. Also common between the three are blacked-out logos, grilles, alloy wheels (23-inch on the Range Rover SV) and brake callipers.
The interior, unsurprisingly, boasts ebony leather upholstery. Additionally, the seats’ upper half gets distinct diagonal stitching patterns, and there’s a black birch wood veneer and a satin-black ceramic finish for the gearshift lever. Range Rover has also made its Body‑and‑Soul Seat (BASS) and Sensory Floor systems standard on all SV trims. Using transducers embedded in the seats and floor, vibrations are created that sync with the audio to let occupants “physically feel the music”. This RR SV Black edition will be offered with five-seater standard wheelbase or four/ five-seat long-wheelbase models.
