While the old JLR Range Rover SVR used the company's own supercharged 5.0-liter V8 engine, it is unlikely that the same engine will be present in the new SV due to increasing stringent emissions regulations. The standard Range Rover Sport already uses BMW's N63 engine, so the range-topping version might also borrow a powertrain from the company.
In a separate development, Jaguar Land Rover recently revealed that it will start accepting bookings for the Range Rover EV in 2023 only, ahead of its slated launch in 2025. The Range Rover EV will be a key part of the brand's electrification strategy. This new Range Rover EV will be built at the Halewood plant of the automaker, for which the company is transforming the facility into an all-electric manufacturing plant under its Reimagine strategy, which envisions a $18.6 billion investment.
