Here's Our First Look—and Drive—of the 2027 Range Rover Electric
Five years after its initial announcement, the Range Rover Electric is available for order with an EPA-estimated range of 333 miles, charging from 10 to 80 percent in 22 minutes at 350-kilowatt fast chargers.
JLR managed development in-house, prioritizing engineering quality over speed; managing director Martin Limpert stated the team chose to get it right rather than fast despite the five-year timeline.
Dual motors deliver 542 horsepower, providing "V8 levels of power" with impressive off-road performance; the SUV manages motor speeds 100 times faster than combustion models while climbing ascents up to 33 degrees.
Pricing for the Range Rover Electric begins at $138,000 for U.S. customers; the EV550 Autobiography starts at £154,070 in the UK, while premium SV Black long-wheelbase models reach £225,240.
Following over 932,000 miles of physical testing, the SUV features a Battery Digital Twin to monitor health and predict maintenance needs; first customer deliveries are scheduled for 2027.
