Range Rover has made a significant stride in its shift towards electric vehicles with the unveiling of its first fully electric SUV in the UK. The luxury vehicle, priced from £154,070, is now available for order, and deliveries are anticipated to commence in 2027. This marks a pivotal moment for Jaguar Land Rover as it continues to embrace sustainable automotive technologies.
The Range Rover Electric is set to be produced at the Jaguar Land Rover facility in Solihull, UK. The vehicle is part of the company’s broader strategy to integrate electric powertrains into its offerings, combining the classic luxury and off-road capabilities that the brand is known for with cutting-edge electric technology.
Equipped with two electric motors, the SUV delivers an impressive 550PS and 850Nm of torque. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds, demonstrating both power and performance. The SUV boasts a remarkable driving range of up to 372 miles on a single charge, as measured under the WLTP testing cycle, making it a compelling choice for those seeking both luxury and endurance.
The vehicle’s 118.5kWh battery supports advanced 800-volt charging, enabling rapid recharging from 10% to 80% in approximately 22 minutes when conditions permit. This efficiency, coupled with its ability to wade through water up to 900mm deep, underscores its versatility and readiness for diverse driving conditions. The Range Rover Electric maintains the brand’s signature design aesthetics while enhancing its aerodynamics to complement the electric powertrain.
Years of meticulous development and testing have gone into the Range Rover Electric, ensuring it meets the high standards expected by the brand’s clientele. Production will be bolstered by the Jaguar Land Rover’s Wolverhampton facility, which is responsible for manufacturing battery packs and electric drive units. This strategic integration of production capabilities highlights Jaguar Land Rover’s commitment to leading in the electric vehicle market.
