Passing on the benefits of the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) India has cut the prices of its luxury SUV Range Rover SV models. The starting price of the flagship Range Rover SV has now come down from ₹ 4.25 crore to ₹ 3.50 crore (ex-showroom), which means a saving of ₹ 75 lakh. Also, the price of Range Rover Sport SV Edition Two has reduced from ₹ 2.75 crore to ₹ 2.35 crore. Its price has also been reduced by ₹ 40 lakh.

Apart from this, a new base Sport SV variant has also been launched for ₹ 2.05 crore. This reduction is a direct benefit of the reduced duty on CBU models imported from the UK (from 110% to around 30% in the first year). Earlier, due to GST reforms in September 2025, the prices had also reduced by ₹ 30 lakh. JLR is the first luxury brand, which is extending the benefits of FTA to the customers. The new prices are effective immediately, making the high-end luxury SUV segment more attractive.

Design and interior

The cabin is ultra-luxury. It gets Semi-Aniline or Near-Aniline leather upholstery, exclusive dual-tone color schemes (like Caraway/Perlino), 24-way adjustable heated-ventilated seats with hot stone massage and executive class rear seats.
