• The electric Range Rover was spotted at the ‘Ring, looking the same as the ICE model.
  • Four Range Rover EV models will be launched by the end of 2026.

Electric versions of the Range Rover and the Range Rover Sport are in the works and not long after our photographers snapped the latter up close, JLR’s engineers have taken it to the Nurburgring for a punishing testing regime.

JLR is planning to launch four battery-electric Range Rover models by the end of 2026, and the Sport is tipped to be the second to launch. The spotted prototype looks virtually identical to the ICE-powered model, with the only obvious giveaway being the lack of exhausts and the silent running. Viewed from afar, most people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the EV and the regular gas model.

Few technical specifications are known about the electric Range Rover Sport. It’s expected to launch with the same 800-volt electrical architecture as the full-size Range Rover Electric. Performance should be more than adequate, and we expect it to easily eclipse the 355 hp delivered by the entry-level ICE Range Rover Sport. Whether or not it rivals the 534 hp PHEV version or the flagship SV with its 626 hp remains to be seen, but for most customers, peak horsepower won’t be particularly important.

Like most luxury vehicles, most Range Rover models these days are used to cruise through cities and on the open road. As such, the electric model should appeal to those looking for something comfortable, quiet, refined, and with adequate power, leaving drag races to YouTubers with Teslas.

An advanced traction control system will also come standard on all electric Range Rover models. This system will be operated by individual electric drive control units, cutting the torque reaction time at each wheel from roughly 100 milliseconds to “as little as 1 millisecond.”

Land Rover will lift the veil on the first electric Range Rovers next year.
