Proponents of green motoring might want to check out their Land Rover dealership. If the company’s plug-in or mild hybrids don’t meet your standards, get ready for the Range Rover Electric. Originally, this all-electric SUV was due to launch in 2024, but unforeseen circumstances pushed it back. However, patience ultimately pays off in the long run.
You can say the British marque is somehow on track for full electrification before the decade ends. Even though it was a bit late to the game, the fact that we now have another zero-emission option bodes well for the automotive industry. According to reports, the EV is part of the 2027 model year rollout, which indicates a fourth-quarter release.
Meanwhile, mass production is at the Jaguar Land Rover facilities in Solihull, United Kingdom. In line with the nameplate’s reliable off-road capabilities, the Range Rover Electric is equipped to perform beyond expectations in any scenario. This machine’s grunt comes from two electric motors on each axle.
This potent duo generates around 542 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque. Floor it, and the vehicle launches from a standstill to 60 mph in 4.3 seconds. Should the need to haul something arise, the 5,511 lbs. towing capacity is more than enough for various types of cargo. Up next is the 800V, 118.5 kWh lithium-ion battery with support for DC Rapid Charging technology.
A full charge approximately lasts up to 372 miles. Inside, the driver and passengers can bask in lavish comfort. “A peaceful retreat is created by the near-silent propulsion, advanced drivetrain isolation and acoustic laminated glass. Active Noise Cancellation‡ technology establishes individual quiet zones for every occupant,” writes Land Rover about the Range Rover Electric.
