Range Rover Electric revealed with 333-mile range and off-road ability
By Anthony Sharkey, Chief Operating Officer, New Reg Limited
Land Rover has officially revealed the Range Rover Electric, arriving around five years after the model was first announced and bringing twin motors, a 118.5-kWh battery and a claimed range of 333 miles.
Land Rover has finally revealed the Range Rover Electric, a fully electric version of its flagship SUV that combines a long-range battery with the off-road capability the Range Rover name is known for. According to multiple reports, the reveal comes approximately five years after Land Rover first announced it was developing an all-electric Range Rover, making this one of the most anticipated electric vehicle launches in the premium SUV segment.
Under the bodywork sits a 118.5-kWh battery paired with twin electric motors, and the claimed range figure stands at 333 miles. Those numbers put the Range Rover Electric broadly in line with other long-range electric vehicles in the luxury class, while the twin-motor setup means four-wheel drive is retained, a feature that matters to buyers who expect the vehicle to perform away from the tarmac as well as on it.
Off-road performance is a central part of the story, with early driving assessments describing the vehicle's behaviour on rough terrain as exceptional. Land Rover has built the Range Rover's reputation on its ability to handle demanding conditions, and according to multiple reports, the electric version carries that through rather than compromising it in the move to battery power.
In the United States the Range Rover Electric carries a starting price of $138,000, which places it firmly at the top of the market. UK pricing has not been confirmed in the available reports. Anyone considering the model would need to factor in that this is a premium flagship product priced accordingly, and prospective buyers are advised to contact Land Rover directly or consult official retailer communications for confirmed UK figures and order details as they become available.
