Range Rover SV.

Yes, and on the same steep curve as the rest of the full-size Range Rover line. The SV is the flagship trim — it opens around two hundred twenty thousand dollars, with the SV Black above it — and it tracks the brand curve shown above, which reaches roughly forty-two percent of MSRP at year five. The SV's higher starting price means a higher residual in absolute dollars at any given year, but also a larger absolute loss. The SV is not a hedge against the Range Rover's depreciation; it is a more expensive seat on the same curve.

On the car, yes; on the residual math, not fully. The SV adds the P615 version of the V8, SV-specific chassis and interior work, and access to SV Bespoke commissioning — a genuine step beyond the Autobiography in materials and engineering. But because both trims track the same percentage curve, the SV's premium does not return proportionally on resale. A buyer who values what the SV is should buy it; a buyer choosing the SV expecting it to defend its price better than an Autobiography is reading the curve wrong.

Both track the brand curve; the difference is configuration, not trajectory. The SV Black, introduced for the 2026 model year above the standard SV, is the darker-spec interpretation — a lower-volume configuration with a more specific buyer. Lower volume can support resale at the margin, but neither version escapes the full-size Range Rover's steep early depreciation. As with the Autobiography, a documented and coherent SV Bespoke commission matters more to resale than the SV-versus-SV-Black distinction.

A documented SV Bespoke commission — coherent paint, a considered interior, materials specified with intent rather than maximally — sits above a standard SV configuration on the secondary market. The long-wheelbase body carries the deeper buyer pool. Aggressively maxed builds in unfocused combinations do not recover their cost. The premium tracks the provenance and the coherence of the commission, not the length of the option list — the same pattern that holds on Bentley Mulliner and Rolls-Royce Bespoke cars.

The three sit on clearly different curves. The Mercedes-AMG G 63 holds value best — at or near MSRP in its early years on allocation. The Rolls-Royce Cullinan Black Badge tracks above the Rolls-Royce brand baseline. The Range Rover SV tracks the steepest of the three — a luxury-SUV curve more sensitive to lease-return volume, reaching roughly forty-two percent of MSRP at year five. For a buyer choosing strictly on residual exposure the SV is the weakest of the three; for a buyer choosing on entry value, a year-three used SV is the most accessible of them.
