Range Rover, considered by many as the original luxury SUV, is now available with electric propulsion. Built in Solihull, England, the home of Range Rover since 1970, this first ever electric Range Rover marks a major milestone for the brand.
Claimed to be quieter, more effortless, more responsive, and with more torque than any Range Rover to date, Range Rover Electric combines modern design with refinement and modernity. Electric propulsion enhances Range Rover’s inherent characteristics of effortless performance, timeless luxury and uncompromising capability, with a reduction in cabin noise.
Seamlessly integrating electric propulsion into a flexible architecture that was engineered for it from the outset, Range Rover Electric features twin permanent magnet 260kW electric motors generating up to 550PS and 850Nm of torque. The majority of Range Rover clients will be able to complete their typical daily journeys without the need to recharge thanks to a range of up to 600km (372 miles) (WLTP)1, and a real-world range of up to 535km (333 miles)4.
New technologies claim to enable precise control in all environments, including Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) which distributes rear torque from 100 per cent to zero per cent to prevent loss of traction, and Integrated Traction Management (ITM) which controls motor speed within 50 milliseconds and manages slip up to 100 times quicker than an ICE vehicle equivalent.
Integrated Traction Management works in concert with the new Single Pedal mode, providing owners exceptional control to smoothly pull away up to 33-degrees with ease – a slope as steep as a black-diamond ski run – or complete a rolling climb ascend up to 45-degree slopes.
When it comes to charging away from home, using the fastest available 350kW rapid DC public chargers, Range Rover Electric can charge from 10-80 per cent in around 22 minutes or add 220km in 10 minutes (WLTP) when the vehicle is charging at its maximum charge rate.
The first ever electric Range Rover is powered by a usable 118.5kWh lithium-ion double-stack battery consisting of 344 prismatic cells delivering outstanding energy density. The advanced 800-volt architecture provides fast, adaptable split-charging capability.
Twin permanent magnet 260kW electric motors produce 20% more torque than other motors of the same size and feature silicon carbide semiconductors which enable remarkable switching speeds measured in microseconds, balancing efficiency with exceptional performance on all surfaces.
Range Rover Electric will complete 0-100kph in as little as 4.5 seconds, with power enabling overtaking speeds from 80-120kph in as little as 3.4 seconds.
