Jaguar Land Rover has officially unveiled its first electric Range Rover model. The vehicle, the product of a four-year development process, was designed as a true Range Rover without compromising off-road capability, luxury or comfort, according to the brand. While its design is largely similar to its internal-combustion and PHEV siblings, the closed grille and special wheels reveal its electric identity; the model retains a 900 mm wading depth.
The all-wheel-drive SUV with two electric motors produces 405 kW (542 horsepower) and 850 Nm of torque. Powered by a 118.5 kWh battery, the vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds and offers a range of 536 km. Reaching 80% from 10% in approximately 22 minutes with 350 kW DC charging, the model gains 220 km of range in 10 minutes. Weighing approximately 2,885 kg, the vehicle comes standard with advanced suspension and a rear-axle steering system. The model, which is available for pre-order in Europe, is priced at 163,500 euros. The 800V architecture battery makes the vehicle 75 kg heavier than the PHEV model, while its center of gravity is 88 mm lower than that of the V8 version.
Why it matters
The fact that the electric version is being offered while retaining Range Rover’s off-road capability and luxury-focused identity shows that the model is not merely an SUV intended for city use. This approach is significant for users who wonder how a balance can be struck between performance and off-road capability in electric vehicles. While the increased weight caused by the battery may affect the driving character, the lower center of gravity and advanced suspension are intended to partially offset this difference. Although the fast-charging figures limit waiting times during long-distance journeys, the high price leaves open the question of which buyer base the model can reach. The pre-order process in Europe will be the first stage in gauging how this new option is received in the market.
