E- Luxus-SUV: Allrad-Adel unter Strom: Der Range Rover wird elektrisch

Electric SUVs are as common as sand on a beach, but in the luxury class they remain rare. Land Rover aims to change that with the introduction of their Range Rover electric model. According to the manufacturer, the first electric Range Rover will be available on the market in early 2027. Apart from minor design differences like a smoothed-out grille, new electric covers for the wheel caps, and a hood without a tailpipe, the Range Rover Electric looks identical to the conventional Range Rover.

Land Rover promises that drivers will not feel any difference in performance, both in terms of smoothness and the vehicle's ability to tackle off-road terrain, handle water crossings, and climb steep inclines. However, the electric Range Rover will not exceed 200 mph. The vehicle is equipped with a 118-kWh battery and a 350 kW charging capacity through 800-volt technology, promising a 600-kilometer range.

The Range Rover Electric houses two electric motors, delivering a system power of 404 kW/550 PS in the EV550 version and a combined torque of 850 Nm. Prices for the vehicle start at 180,100 Euros for the EV550 version and 163,500 Euros for the weaker EV450 variant.
