Anthony Crawford drove this car and these were their findings:
Hits
- Even the SVR Carbon Edition looks more regal than any of its rivals
- Brilliant balance between ride comfort and handling
- There isn't a better noise than an SVR at full speed
Misses
- It's looking dated against the new Defender even
- Infotainment system is now old hat
- Needs twin-turbo (or hybrid) power to keep up with rivals
