Rather than try to reinvent the wheel with its new electric vehicle, Range Rover just made one that looks nearly identical to its lineup of gas-powered SUVs. They didn\u2019t try to pass off some sleek, spaceship-looking pod as a Range Rover. Sometimes familiar designs are the way to go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">Of course, under the surface <a href=\"https:\/\/media.jlr.com\/range-rover\/news\/2026\/09\/range-rover-electric-new-era-original-luxury-suv\">the Range Rover Electric<\/a> is nothing like its internal combustion engine sporting brethren. Twin permanent magnet 260kW electric motors are powered by a double-stacked 118.5 kWh lithium-ion battery, with an estimated range of 330 real-world miles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The all-wheel drive system puts out 542 horsepower and 627 lb.-ft. of torque, which Range Rover describes as \u201cV8 levels of power.\u201d An 800-volt architecture enables DC fast charging from 10\u201380 percent in just 22 minutes, or about 137 miles in 10 minutes, when plugged into a 350 kW charger. A zero to 60 mph time of 4.3 seconds won\u2019t win it any awards, especially compared to EV rivals like Lucid and Rivian. But this Range Rover probably doesn\u2019t need to blow up any records to make its mark. With a familiar design and decent enough specs, it should be more than sufficient for anyone who has been pining for a touch of British sophistication in their EV shopping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div

class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">The wait has certainly stretched on longer than it should have. Range Rover first announced it was working on an electric model over five years ago. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/12\/13\/23999724\/range-rover-ev-prototype-teaser-waiting-list\">It first opened preorders in 2023<\/a>, promising that customer deliveries would begin a year later. The Jaguar Land Rover\u2013owned brand took its sweet time fulfilling these promises, but now that the cover has been lifted, the automaker is taking orders at a starting price of \u00a3154,070 in the UK (or about $140,450 in the US).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">JLR says it will produce the Range Rover Electric at its Solihull factory, alongside gas and hybrid models. It\u2019s also touting the number of patents submitted for this EV \u2014 300 \u2014 making it the most technologically custom-built Range Rover ever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">How technologically advanced? Try lightning-fast grip control. Instead of waiting for mechanical gears to adjust when tires slip, the electric motors adjust power in 50 milliseconds \u2014 100 times faster than a gas car. This gives instant control on ice, mud, or loose gravel. The one-pedal drive system is tuned for super steep slopes of up to 45 degrees, so you can climb mountains or crawl over obstacles using just the accelerator. And the battery and motors are fully sealed, allowing you to drive through nearly 3 feet of water (900mm) without damaging the vehicle. Lastly, a built-in heat pump reuses waste heat to warm the cabin and keep the battery at the right temperature, preserving up to 25 extra miles of driving range in freezing weather.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\">All of this sounds great on paper. Stacked up against rivals like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/7\/16\/24199178\/porsche-macan-ev-rwd-rear-wheel-drive-4s-specs-price\">the Porsche Macan EV<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/3\/29\/23001370\/lotus-eletre-electric-suv-type-132-specs-range\">the Lotus Eletre<\/a>, the SUV may look even better \u2014 especially for those car buyers who still prefer a familiar face on their electric vehicle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"duet--article--article-body-component\">\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1044qizi _18mzr4b1 _18mzr4b0 _19wv7tc1\"><em>Images by Range Rover<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tly2fw0\"><span class=\"tly2fw2\"><strong>Follow topics and authors<\/strong> from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"tly2fw3\">\n<li id=\"follow-author-article_footer-dmcyOmF1dGhvclByb2ZpbGU6MTIy\"><span aria-expanded=\"false\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\"><span class=\"gnx4pm0 _1uf8q814 _19wv7tc5 _1618ekm0\"><span class=\"_1ajq89kf _1ajq89k1 _1ajq89k0\"><\/span><span class=\"_1618ekm9\">Andrew J.
