Check out the teaser video for the Land Rover`s first full-electric version of the iconic Range Rover! This luxurious EV is set to redefine the landscape of vehicles combining elegance with cutting-edge technology.
Technological Marvel: Powering the Future with 800-Volt Architecture
Underneath its exterior, the Range Rover Electric boasts an array of technological advancements. It shares the MLA platform with its gas-powered counterparts and introduces an 800-volt architecture allowing for lightning-fast charging capabilities. Not only does it promise performance on par with V8-powered Range Rovers but it also showcases exceptional water-wading abilities, reaching depths of up to 33.5 inches—nearly rivaling Land Rover’s esteemed Defender.
With noise-canceling technology and the inherent silence of propulsion, the Range Rover Electric aims to be the epitome of refinement within the Range Rover lineup. Land Rover’s commitment to innovation extends to its testing phase, where prototypes are put through temperatures and challenging terrains to ensure resilience and adaptability in diverse conditions.
“We are on target to create the quietest and most refined Range Rover ever created. The magic ingredients that underpin the success of Range Rover remain unchanged: timeless, reductionist design, a serene cabin, and go-anywhere capability – but now offered with zero tailpipe emissions. And as repeated throughout history, the Range Rover will continue to set the standard. The first of its type. An electric luxury SUV that can deliver on the Range Rover promise. A true global luxury product, as yet unseen in the industry.” JLR product engineering executive director Thomas Müller described.
All these remarkable features are hidden within under a design that perfectly masks its electric prowess.
Sleek Exterior Conceals Electric Prowess
The teasers released by Land Rover also give us a sneak peek into the exterior of the Range Rover Electric. While the overall design still maintains the timeless Range Rover look, some changes highlight its exquisite design language. The grille with its aggressive lines cleverly hides a blocked-off panel that hints at the electric heart of this vehicle. The wheel center caps proudly display the “EV” emblem showing a departure from the Land Rover logo. Additionally, there’s a slide-out panel in place of the fuel filler door that ingeniously conceals the charge port. It’s clear that Land Rover is committed to creating a design that feels both familiar and distinctly electric promising to blend tradition and innovation.
Awaiting the Future: Prices and Availability
As for pricing and availability details, they are still kept under wraps for now. However, Land Rover enthusiasts and potential buyers can secure their place on the waiting list to be among the first to experience the Range Rover Electric. This new model will be manufactured at Land Rovers Solihull plant in the United Kingdom, which has received a $88 million investment to bolster its capability for producing vehicles.
Final Thoughts
It’s important to note that this is the beginning of Land Rover’s electric journey—a glimpse into their broader ambitions in this field.
After being introduced, the Range Rover Velar, Evoque, and Land Rover Defender are all expected to have full-electric versions well. Jaguar Land Rover is also planning to build a battery facility in England showing their dedication to an electrified future.
