Known issues by generation
The L494 Range Rover Sport SVR is revered for its performance but can have notable issues requiring attention. Key concerns include the supercharged 5.0L V8's timing-chain tensioner and guides, which may require replacement between 80,000 to 120,000 miles. Additionally, the supercharger's nose-cone bearing can wear, necessitating a rebuild. The air suspension is also prone to leaks, which can become costly if full replacements are required. Keeping meticulous records of preventive maintenance for these areas is crucial to maintaining the vehicle’s value and reliability.<\/p>
