Jaguar Land Rover has officially launched the Range Rover Electric, a fully battery-electric version of its iconic luxury SUV. This new model aims to blend the brand's renowned comfort and off-road prowess with electric propulsion, marking a significant step in JLR's transition away from combustion engines.
The Range Rover Electric is designed to look nearly identical to its gasoline and plug-in hybrid counterparts, with subtle aerodynamic enhancements like a smoother front grille and more efficient wheels. The absence of tailpipes is the most apparent visual cue for the electric variant.
Built on JLR's powertrain-agnostic MLA architecture, the electric Range Rover weighs only slightly more than the V8 version due to the integration of its battery pack and dual permanent-magnet synchronous motors. These motors deliver a combined output of 542 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, offering performance comparable to the V8 model, with a 0-60 mph time of 4.3 seconds.
The 118.5 kWh net battery pack utilizes nickel-manganese-cobalt chemistry and operates at 800 V. It provides an EPA-estimated range of 333 miles and supports DC fast charging at up to 350 kW, capable of adding 125 miles of range in just 10 minutes. The vehicle also features vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality, with future vehicle-to-grid (V2G) support planned.
Electrification has lowered the vehicle's center of gravity, contributing to improved handling. The electric powertrain results in a quieter cabin, with an active noise cancellation system further enhancing tranquility. Despite the focus on on-road refinement, the Range Rover Electric retains significant off-road capability, with up to 10.3 inches of ground clearance, ensuring it can handle challenging terrain.
