Pretoria, South Africa – 18 February 2026: Land Rover South Africa has unveiled the Range Rover SV Platinum Edition, a rarefied expression of contemporary design, peerless refinement, and cultural craftsmanship. Inspired by platinum – a metal prized for its beauty, lustre, and strength – this exclusive edition elevates luxury to an art form. Only five examples have been commissioned for South Africa, each meticulously curated to celebrate both world-class sophistication and local heritage.
A Bespoke Exterior Inspired by Precious Metals
Every aspect of the Platinum Edition reflects the qualities of its namesake. The exterior features the bespoke Platinum Satin body colour, enhanced with Silver Chrome and Graphite Atlas finishes, alongside signature Bespoke script badges. A unique gold roof and matching gold script add a striking visual hallmark, while 23-inch diamond-turned alloy wheels with Bespoke Satin Gold inserts complete a composition reminiscent of finely crafted jewellery.
Interior Craftsmanship Rooted in South African Heritage
Inside, the cabin blends Perlino and Caraway leather, creating a warm, tactile environment, complemented by silver noble chrome accents and natural cream Ash Burr veneer. The Platinum Edition’s interiors pay homage to South Africa through bespoke embroidery inspired by the wooden block-printing traditions of Limpopo province. Geometric patterns stitched in satin evoke the shimmer of platinum, and this artisanal motif extends to the treadplates, ensuring that every touchpoint reflects the region’s rich craft heritage.
Janico Dannhauser, Range Rover Brand Manager at JLR South Africa, commented: “The Range Rover SV Platinum Edition is a profound celebration of rarity. By blending the world-class sophistication of SV Bespoke with the rich, artisanal heritage of South Africa, we have curated a cultural heirloom. For five discerning clients, this edition represents the ultimate expression of South African luxury.”
Signature Technology and Performance
As a Range Rover SV model, the Platinum Edition integrates advanced technology and performance features. Its Rear Body-And-Soul-Seat and Sensory Floor system allows occupants to physically feel music through haptic feedback, creating an immersive auditory experience. Additional features include ClearSight interior rear-view mirror, four-zone climate control, soft door close, powered gesture tailgate, and an auto-folding load space cover.
The vehicle’s dynamic capability is equally remarkable. Electronic air suspension with Dynamic Response Pro, Electronic Active Differential with Torque Vectoring by Braking, configurable programs, and adaptive off-road cruise control combine with a 452kW V8 engine to deliver sure-footed performance both on and off the road.
Exclusivity Meets Exceptional Value
Priced at R 6,223,000, the Range Rover SV Platinum Edition is available exclusively in South Africa, offering a truly bespoke experience for a select few. With only five examples crafted, this edition represents not just a vehicle, but a cultural and automotive masterpiece.
