48,000 electric Range Rover buyers can't be wrong

Range Rover

The excitement for the first-ever all-electric Range Rover is contagious. Jaguar Land Rover announced that over 48,000 customers have already joined the waiting list for the SUV, even before its official debut.

JLR's first-half results for fiscal 2025 revealed the growing demand for its electric vehicles. The Range Rover Electric, as it's currently known, is spearheading this charge, leading the way for a new generation of zero-emission luxury vehicles under the JLR umbrella.

Back in February, JLR reported a respectable 16,000 reservations for the electric Range Rover. This number more than doubled to over 38,000 by June, surpassed 42,000 in August, and sat at 48,000 at the end of October. This interest comes alongside the announcement of 29% year-over-year increase in JLR's global sales, fueled by a 47% rise in plug-in hybrid (PHEV) sales. It appears that customers are embracing PHEVs as a transitional step towards fully electric vehicles.

Range Rover promises that its new in-house electric powertrain will deliver exceptional performance and maintain the brand's legendary off-road capabilities. The EV will come with the latest traction control system, rigorously tested in extreme conditions to ensure it lives up to the Range Rover legacy.

The electric Range Rover boasts an impressive wading depth of 33.5 inches. To put that into perspective, it can traverse deeper water than the GMC Hummer EV, which has a 32-inch wading depth.

The official unveiling of the electric Range Rover is expected later this year, and JLR has been busy developing its EV lineup. In September, a prototype of what is believed to be the smaller electric Velar was spotted undergoing public testing.

That's a lot less than the millions who were eagerly anticipating the Cybertruck :)
