New Range Rover Electric Coming Soon: Specs, price and release info

Big power, loads of luxury, tons of tech … does the Range Rover Electric finally deliver on the promise?

Published on 3 September 2026 | 0 min read

They say good things come to those who wait but Jaguar Land Rover has been stretching the idea to its limits, both with the much-hyped Jaguar Type 01 and this, the long-awaited Range Rover Electric. Clue in the name and all that, the battery-powered Range Rover joining its hybrid equivalents off the back of nearly a million miles of testing, 300 patent applications and a ton of clever innovation, all built on British manufacturing and engineering expertise. Worth hanging round for? We’ll soon know…

Where some manufacturers have created standalone electric models the Range Rover Electric is simply that – an electric version of the existing one we all know and love
The looks are subtle the aero grille and new wheel designs the only ways you’ll be able to tell it apart
Massive 118.5kWh ‘double stacked’ battery means over 300 miles of usable range according to claims – it’ll also charge at up to 350kW if you can find somewhere suitably powerful to plug in
Two motors deliver the four-wheel drive Range Rover owners demand, with all the off-road ability you’d expect – combined power of 550 horsepower is good for 0-62mph in under five seconds
Prices start at just shy of £155,000

Design and models available

For all the hoo-ha and delays in hitting the market the Range Rover Electric doesn’t break any moulds when it comes to its looks. Which, given the popularity of the existing combustion-engined versions, is probably no bad thing. A more aerodynamic grille and different wheel designs are the only obvious external differences, the model range following a similar progression of standard or long-wheelbase options through SV, SV Black and SV Ultra trim levels, a First Edition there for the early adopters … some of whom put their names down nearly three years back! If your ego can’t bear the idea of seeing another Range Rover Electric that looks like yours there’s also the Bespoke option, where you can choose colours and trims according to your taste. Or lack of.

Interior and tech

Again, if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. And there is absolutely nothing wrong (and a lot right) about the the existing Range Rover on which this is based. JLR does interiors well, though we’ll (predictably) rail against the screen-heavy interface. The sense of luxury is easier to appreciate, with a wide choice of upholsteries ranging from trad to modern, including sustainable Light Cloud Ultrafabrics and Kvadrat options.

Batteries/range

Where the Jaguar Type 01 goes all-out for performance with its 1,000 horsepower plus triple motor arrangement this follows a principle of ‘Range Rover first, electric second’, with the emphasis more on luxury and refinement. The combined 550 horsepower output of the two motors is, therefore, ‘appropriate’ rather than extraordinary, the 850Nm of torque hopefully providing the effortless waft Range Rover drivers are accustomed to, as well as the off-road ability. As such the Range Rover Electric can climb 45-degree slopes and wade through nearly a metre of water, the more real-world tech including a sophisticated traction control system reacting 100 times faster than that used on combustion cars. The hefty 118.5kWh battery meanwhile delivers an official 372-mile range, JLR claiming well over 300 miles in what it describes as ‘real-world’ driving conditions. We’ll see about that, but it should reassure any range-anxious buyers at the outset. 350kW charging should mean quick top-ups on longer journeys, assuming you can plug in somewhere suitably powerful.

Price and release

It’s almost laughable we first wrote about orders opening back in late 2023 and the car is only now going on sale. But here we are. A starting price just shy of £155,000 is just that, meanwhile. Expect most Range Rover Electrics to cost quite a bit more than that by the time they leave the showroom…

What other cars from JLR are due this year?

You wait for one scene-stealing electric luxury car from JLR and then two turn up at once, the Range Rover Electric joining the Jaguar Type 01 while future derivatives are already planned.

What other cars that are upcoming will this compete with?

Given the general trend towards smaller and more affordable electric cars the Range Rover Electric perhaps lands at a strange time, but demand for Range Rovers has always been strong and the battery version is a natural fit, as it is for all luxury brands. Don’t expect this to have the floor to itself for very long.
