Overview
- The Range Rover Electric, which launched this week on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, is available to configure now with UK deliveries scheduled for late 2026 and broader European deliveries set for 2027.
- JLR lists dual permanent‑magnet motors producing about 405 kW (≈550 PS) and 850 Nm, a usable 118–118.5 kWh battery, an 800‑volt architecture and up to 350 kW DC charging for roughly 10–80% in about 22 minutes.
- JLR says the EV keeps core Range Rover utility with air suspension, 90 cm wading depth and advanced traction control but reduces braked towing capacity to 2,500 kg from the V8’s 3,500 kg.
- The launch reflects a years‑long rework that switched the front axle to permanent‑magnet motors and moved key components in‑house—JLR developed the battery pack, inverters and drive units after earlier motor choices proved unsuitable—steps that contributed to the delay.
- Starting prices appear in configurators (about £154,070 in the UK and roughly €163,500–€180,100 in Germany), and JLR plans features such as bidirectional charging and Plug & Charge by 2027 while final safety results, exact pan‑European delivery timing and full OTA scope remain pending.
