Range Rover has unveiled its fully electric SUV, the Range Rover Electric. Largely retaining the design of the internal-combustion and hybrid models, the vehicle offers all-wheel drive with two 260 kW permanent-magnet electric motors. The system produces 542 horsepower and 627 lb-ft (approximately 850 Nm) of torque, accelerating from 0 to 97 kilometers per hour in 4.3 seconds. The dual-layer 118.5 kWh lithium-ion battery provides approximately 330 miles (531 kilometers) of range in real-world use. Thanks to its 800-volt architecture, the battery can charge from 10% to 80% in 22 minutes using 350 kW fast charging; a 10-minute charge adds approximately 137 miles (220 kilometers) of range. The brand describes its performance as being on par with V8 engines. The motors adjust traction in 50 milliseconds. One-pedal driving operates on inclines of up to 45 degrees. Starting at £154,070 in the UK, the model is now available to order.
Why it matters
The unveiling shows that Range Rover has chosen to present electric driving not as a product separate from the brand’s luxury and off-road-focused identity, but within its existing family design. This approach directly concerns current users who want to retain the traditional design while considering a transition to an electric vehicle; performance and off-road capability also aim to address their core expectations during this transition. The starting price in the UK indicates that the model is positioned for high-budget buyers rather than as a mass-market electric SUV. With orders now open, the outstanding questions are the sales schedule outside the UK and how the announced range and charging times will translate under different usage conditions.
