Overview
- Jaguar Land Rover has opened orders for the Range Rover Electric, a twin‑motor BEV built on the MLA platform with a 118–118.5 kWh battery and a WLTP range of about 372 miles.
- Independent drives in late October confirm roughly 542 hp (550 PS), about 850 Nm torque, 0–60 mph in around 4.3–4.5 seconds and real‑world range closer to 300–333 miles depending on use.
- The car uses an 800V electrical architecture that accepts up to ~350 kW DC charging and can recharge from 10–80% in about 22 minutes on compatible chargers.
- Range Rover retains core off‑road specs with a 900 mm wading depth and a new Integrated Traction Management system that adjusts motor output in milliseconds to cut slip and improve control.
- The EV targets the super‑luxury market with UK prices starting around £154,070, Solihull production and global deliveries scheduled from 2027 while heavy kerb weight (~2.8 tonnes) means owners will rely on high‑power chargers for long trips.
