Range Rover has revealed its first fully electric production model, pairing up to 600 km of WLTP range with the familiar design and off-road focus of its flagship SUV. The Range Rover Electric is already listed on the brand’s Saudi website, where buyers can register interest ahead of local pricing.
What does the Range Rover Electric offer on paper?
The Electric uses dual electric motors and all-wheel drive. Together, they produce 542 hp and 850 Nm of torque. As a result, the SUV reaches 100 km/h from rest in 4.5 seconds. It can tow up to 2,500 kg and wade to a depth of 900 mm, so the off-road character carries over.
Power comes from a 118.5 kWh usable battery with a double-stack design and an 800V electrical system. Range Rover quotes up to 600 km of WLTP range, while its estimate for real-world driving sits at around 535 km. Both range figures come from the manufacturer, so treat them as estimates rather than independent test results.
How quickly does it charge?
The car accepts up to 350 kW on DC rapid charging. Range Rover says a 10 to 80 per cent charge takes about 22 minutes on a suitable charger. Furthermore, 10 minutes on a rapid charger can add up to 220 km of WLTP range, according to the company’s own estimate. That should suit longer journeys where quick top-ups matter.
Where and when will it be built?
JLR will build the Electric at its Solihull plant in the UK. Notably, it will roll down the same line as petrol, diesel and plug-in-hybrid Range Rover models. Therefore the firm can adjust output as demand shifts across markets. That flexibility helps, because EV adoption develops at different speeds around the world.
Does it still look like a Range Rover?
Yes. Range Rover has kept the Electric close to the model that buyers already know. Designers revised the grille, wheels and underbody to improve aerodynamics. However, the upright proportions and clean body shape stay familiar. Consequently, owners moving from a petrol or plug-in-hybrid version get a different powertrain in a recognisable shape.
That approach preserves one of the model’s biggest strengths. Buyers keep the luxury positioning and flagship presence while swapping the combustion drivetrain for electric power.
How much will it cost?
Prices start at £154,070 in the UK and $138,000 in the US. Pricing in international markets such as growth markets Saudi Arabia or the rest of the Gulf has yet to be announced. For now, customers can only register their interest through the brand’s local website. Once local pricing lands, it will show how the Electric sits against the combustion and plug-in-hybrid versions that buyers here already know.
Playing it safe?
Premium EVs stand on firmer ground than they did a few years ago. Even so, petrol and plug-in-hybrid SUVs remain well established across the market. Range Rover’s plan, therefore, stays straightforward. It keeps the design, luxury feel and off-road ability of the flagship, then replaces the engine with an electric system within a very familiar design.
