Range Rover Sport Electric Revealed With UK Orders Open

The Sport borrows the flagship 118.5 kWh twin‑motor powertrain to promise long WLTP range, quicker torque response and sharper handling, with customer deliveries due in 2027.

Overview

  • Range Rover revealed the Sport Electric and opened UK order books on Tuesday, listing three trims priced from £109,810 for the Dynamic SE up to £126,290 for the First Edition.
  • The Sport uses the same 118.5 kWh battery and twin 260 kW motors as the full‑size Range Rover Electric, giving a combined output of about 542 bhp (550 PS) and 850 Nm of torque.
  • Range Rover claims a WLTP range of up to 374 miles and fast charging from 10–80% in roughly 22 minutes on suitable 800‑volt infrastructure, with a manufacturer estimate of roughly 320 miles under EPA testing.
  • Engineering changes lower the centre of gravity by 73 mm, stiffen the body by 61%, speed torque build by about 50%, and add four‑wheel steering and active roll control to sharpen handling while keeping 4x4 and off‑road capability.
  • The launch will be produced at Solihull on the MLA‑Flex platform as JLR moves toward electrified models and follows wider company cost cuts that include a plan to cut 4,000 jobs over the next two years.
