2025 Range Rover Sport SV vs. Autobiography PHEV: A Tale of Two Luxury Performers

Land Rover’s 2025 Range Rover Sport lineup presents two distinct personalities: the wild-child 626-hp SV and the refined 543-hp PHEV. We tested both to see how they stack up in power, luxury, and driving dynamics.

The Thrill Seeker: Range Rover Sport SV

Performance That Excites

Driving Impressions:

“The SV lunges ahead with brutal confidence, its soundtrack flooding the cabin in all the right ways.” – MotorTrend

Despite its 5,620-lb curb weight, the SV handles like a lighter SUV, with 0.90 g lateral grip and a willingness to drift when pushed.

Luxury Meets Aggression

The Sophisticated Choice: Autobiography PHEV

Starting at $120,325 (as tested: $136,880)
