Overview
- JLR unveiled the Range Rover Electric and opened bookings on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, offering short and long wheelbase versions and multiple trim levels across markets including the UK, Australia and India.
- The SUV uses twin permanent‑magnet motors rated at about 550 PS (≈542–543 hp) and 850 Nm paired to a double‑stack 118.5 kWh battery on an 800‑volt architecture that supports up to 350 kW DC charging.
- Range figures published by JLR are up to about 598–600 km WLTP and a quoted real‑world figure near 535 km, with a 10–80% fast charge time of roughly 22 minutes and about 220 km of WLTP range added in 10 minutes on a 350 kW charger.
- Production, battery packs and e‑drive units will be made in the UK — final assembly at Solihull and propulsion components at Wolverhampton — after more than 1.5 million km of physical testing, 250,000+ hours of virtual testing and over 300 patent filings.
- JLR is pitching continuity with traditional Range Rover strengths by retaining off‑road specs such as 900 mm wading and rapid traction control, adding a Battery Digital Twin with 900+ diagnostics and an eight‑year/160,000 km battery warranty to reassure buyers; deliveries are targeted to begin in 2027.
