JLR is almost ready to launch its electric Range Rover, and will follow it up with an electric Range Rover Sport.
Prototypes have to endure temperatures ranging from -40 degrees F to more than 122 degrees FAn electric version of theOrder books for the vehicle, to be known as the Range Rover Electric, have been open since late 2023, and deliveries are slated to start next year, meaning we'll likely see it arrive as a 2026 model in the U.S.
Potential buyers won't need to worry about any loss of capability, as prototypes have endured the same harsh conditions as their gas and plug-in hybrid counterparts. This includes performing in temperatures as low as -40 degrees F and as high as 122 degrees F and beyond., prototypes were taken close to the Arctic Circle during the previous winter.
The Range Rover Electric is being developed on a modified version of the MLA platform that underpins the gas and plug-in hybrid Range Rovers, and the vehicles will share a production line at JLR's plant in Solihull, U.K. There isn't much to distinguish the Range Rover Electric from its gas and plug-in hybrid siblings. The only visual cue will be a unique grille. There may also be some underbody changes aimed at improving aerodynamic efficiency.
