Car and Driver article attached indicates the SVR branding will not be used for the V8 Velar and there are no plans for a Velar SVR. This approach helps lessen the branding confusion between a RRS SVR and a Velar SVR. Strange that evidently it is only a one year model. Begs the question again what the 2020 RRS SVR will look like vs 2019 model year.

I think you will find that the entire SVR moniker is going to be phased out They have never been able to meet production schedules, The high end SVR paint program was a complete dismal failure.

Don't forget that Ford is no longer supplying LR with engines.

Maybe the rumours of no RRS SVR in 2020 model year is because they will rebrand it under SVA Autioboigraphy Dynamic like the Velar. Maybe SVR will be a Jaguar only nomenclature starting in 2020 commensurate with the more performance image of the Jaguar brand.

I’ve also noticed it doesn’t seem to have active exhaust. Or it does have it but I haven’t been able to confirm.
Seems like the SVA line is more luxury vs SVR is more sporty.

Love the interior though.

Land Rover PR says “Rover Velar SVAutobiography Dynamic Edition includes a Variable Valve Active Sports Exhaust System”

I just noticed the term “Fluid Dynamic” software mentioned in the online exhaust description. Is this some sort of Marketing gimmick or is it relevant? I have not seen this term used in descriptions of the RRS SVR exhaust writeups.

It might have something to do with the analogue vs digital nature of the active exhaust?

Ie
RRS SVR 2015-2017- the active exhaust was more digital/on and off. There wasn’t an in between.
RRS SVR 2018+ - they came out with an new active exhaust that adjusted the exhaust from closed to fully open. Which gave it its ‘dynamic’ exhaust options.
I personally liked the pre 2017 exhausts better but only slightly.

Have you gotten anymore info on your order?

Drove a Velar on the weekend and was quite impressed. Pricing and configuration details for the Velar SVA in Canada not available yet, although the UK site has everything. My bet is the Velar SVA will start at about $125k. Waiting to decide between the 2020 Velar SVA versus the 2020 RRS SVR once information about both is available to make an informed decision.

The Velar SVAutobiography is now on the Land Rover website: https://www.landroverusa.com/future-vehicles/range-rover-velar/svautobiography-dynamic/index.html

 

[Canuckrover]

It is on the Canadian web site too but neither provide pricing, configurator or availability information.

Folks you are beating a dead horse TaTa has developed their own ingenium engines for use in Jags and LR products There is no SVR or SVA.

There was an article today that that indicated South Africa was only getting 10 SVAutiobiography vehicles on allocation. I wonder if it will be on limited allocation in North America as well?
