Range Rover Electric teased: the most refined Range Rover ever

Land Rover is teasing its latest creation: the Range Rover Electric. Promising V8 levels of performance and class-leading off-roading capabilities, this electric SUV promises to be the next big thing by the company. The carmaker opened a waiting list for eager customers and gave us the first glimpse of Range Rover Electric.

The testing process has taken the prototype vehicles from the freezing cold of Sweden to the scorching heat of Dubai, ensuring the finished product can perform in diverse conditions.

One of the few confirmed features of the Range Rover Electric is its 800-volt architecture, enabling rapid charging and perhaps some truly powerful motors. Matching the rest of the Range Rover lineup, the electric version will be able to wade through up to 33.5 inches of water, aiming to capture the hearts of off-road enthusiasts. On top of that, it supports over-the-air software updates as befits any modern vehicle.

Land Rover claims that the Range Rover Electric will match the performance of its flagship Range Rover V8, an ambitious goal for an electric SUV of this size. Other manufacturers already offer powerful electric SUVs - Rivian R1S, Lucid Gravity, Mercedes EQS SUV, or even Tesla Model X. So - yes, it can be done.

Land Rover claims the Range Rover Electric's towing, wading, and all-terrain technology will outclass any other luxury electric SUV on the market. We'd certainly be following this one closely.

The Range Rover Electric will be built on Jaguar Land Rover's flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture, designed and engineered in the UK. The batteries and electric drive units will be assembled at the marque's Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Center in Wolverhampton.

In the words of JLR product engineering executive director Thomas Müller, "We are on target to create the quietest and most refined Range Rover ever created."
