In a significant move towards electrification, Range Rover has introduced its inaugural all-electric SUV in the UK, with pricing beginning at £154,070. Enthusiasts can place their orders now, with the first deliveries scheduled for 2027. This new model will be assembled at the Jaguar Land Rover facility in Solihull, underscoring the brand’s commitment to electric vehicle production.
The newly unveiled Range Rover Electric is equipped with twin electric motors, delivering an impressive output of up to 550PS and 850Nm of torque. This power allows the vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60mph in just 4.3 seconds, while offering a respectable driving range of up to 372 miles, as per the WLTP testing standards. The SUV’s 118.5kWh battery is designed to support 800-volt charging technology, enabling a rapid charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 22 minutes when ideal conditions are met.
Maintaining the luxury brand’s reputation, the Range Rover Electric blends traditional design elegance with advanced electric technology and improved aerodynamics. Its off-road capabilities remain intact, with the ability to wade through water up to 900mm deep, ensuring it retains its rugged appeal alongside new sustainable features.
The development and testing of this electric SUV have spanned several years, culminating in a vehicle that melds luxury and innovation. Supporting the production process, Jaguar Land Rover’s Wolverhampton plant will play a crucial role in manufacturing the battery packs and electric drive units essential for the Range Rover Electric.
