SV Autobiography

Looking at changing my 2017 L405 SE 4.4v8 to the 5.0 SV (2019)

Anything to be wary of ?

Thought of SV owners on their cars please.

Seriously though it’s a fantastic engine.

Early days for me, but predictably I'm loving it.

Don't know about MY 2019, but for 2017 the only things I can think "to be wary of" over any other L405 are:
The towing capacity is lower at 3 tons vs 3.5.
The paint seems incredibly soft and takes a scratch very easily.
Its lower so wont be as good at extreme off roading.

Otherwise it goes, stops and handles, better and has a better sound track than any other Fatty that I've been in. Still very comfy and lovely place to be even on 22s. Mike - MPx

Managed to get 27.7 mpg out of mine from South Wales to Scotland which is not too shabby considering 565bhp.

Interesting about the towing capacity. I wonder why that is?? There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

A brilliant vehicle but don’t expect just because it’s been refined by SV, that build quality will be any better. I was wholly disappointed by the build quality on a £150k car.

That’s not surprising given what is typical for the regular SCV8.

I hadn't realised that. As someone who does regularly drive off road that would be a serious negative.

I doubt the market for 2019 Range Rover SV Autobiography doing extreme off-roading is rather limited. I know I would have a different toy for that Wink

You regularly do extreme off roading in your FF?? I regularly drive (and tow) off road, but its fields and tracks - not boulders, mountains, or water splashes. Its a proper FF and still does amazing things, but a few mm lower so not quite so amazing...

No idea why the tow capacity is limited. Mike - MPx

I just looked, according to the website the 565 version is 3500 tow limit. What am I missing?
