The Range Rover Sport Electric Is Here To Take On The Lucid Gravity

The SUV uses a 118.5-kWh battery and 800-volt architecture, with charging from 10% to 80% in 22 minutes, Land Rover said.

  • Land Rover revealed the Range Rover Sport Electric with a starting price of £109,810, delivering 542 hp and reaching 60 mph in 4.3 seconds while sharing the larger Range Rover Electric's powertrain and offering up to 374 miles of range.
  • Built on an 800-volt architecture, the vehicle delivers 542 hp and 627 pound-feet of torque via two 260-kilowatt motors. Range Rover claims torque builds 50 per cent faster than in its larger sibling, sharpening the SUV's response.
  • Featuring a body structure 61 per cent stiffer and a center of gravity 73mm lower than other models, the Sport Electric charges from 10 to 80 per cent in 22 minutes at a fast charger.
  • Although production begins at Solihull for expected early 2027 deliveries, a company representative confirmed the Range Rover Sport Electric is not coming to the United States as a 2027 model.
  • Sandwiched between the full-size Range Rover Electric launch in September and the upcoming Jaguar Type 01 reveal in New York City next week, the Sport Electric maintains its predecessor's design with aerodynamic updates.
