Range Rover has launched its most luxurious and most expensive model yet on Australian soil. The Range Rover SV Ultra is now open for orders, priced from $472,400 plus on-road costs, and it brings world-first audio technology to the local luxury SUV market.

Range Rover SV Ultra pricing in Australia

Only the P615 V8 variant is confirmed for Australian buyers at launch. Range Rover offers a P550e plug-in hybrid in selected global markets and has confirmed a fully electric SV Ultra later this year, though local availability for those powertrains has not been announced.

What is SV Electrostatic Sound?

The headline act is the SV Electrostatic Sound system, a world-first for any production vehicle. It uses 21 thin-film transducers built into the headrests, seatbacks and headlining to create what Range Rover describes as a personal concert hall for each occupant.

Each membrane sits just 1mm thick and responds up to 1,000 times faster than a conventional speaker. The setup also draws 90 per cent less power than a traditional system and is built without rare earth elements.

The audio kit is available as an option across all Range Rover SV models. But the SV Ultra pairs it with two technologies you cannot get on lesser SVs. Body and Soul Seats use seat-integrated transducers to generate physical pulsations from the music, while the Sensory Floor adds haptic feedback under each passenger footwell. Six wellness modes range from Calm to Invigorating, designed to support relaxation or focus.

Liquid metal paint and a leather-free cabin

Outside, the Range Rover SV Ultra wears an exclusive Titan Silver paint finish that uses fine aluminium flake to chase a liquid metal effect. Satin Platinum Atlas and Silver Chrome accents trim the grille, side gills and tailgate, while 23-inch alloy wheels feature bi-tone Satin Platinum inserts.

The cabin drops leather entirely. Range Rover has fitted Orchid White and Cinder Grey Ultrafabrics with a laser-crafted mosaic pattern, paired with a new rattan palm veneer in an open-pore finish. Gloss white ceramic trim, Orchid Pearl SV speakers and SV Ultra branded treadplates round out the interior.

How the Range Rover SV Ultra compares

The SV Ultra slots above the existing Range Rover SV and SV Black. At $472,400 plus on-road costs, it sits well above mainstream luxury rivals like the Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 and pushes into Bentley Bentayga territory.

In the UK the SV Ultra is invitation-only. In Australia it is open to order now, making it one of the most expensive Range Rovers ever sold locally.
