Range Rover’s new EV looks just like a regular Range Rover — that’s refreshing
I think automakers are finally getting the memo. 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.

Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled its first fully electric Range Rover, priced starting at £154,070 ($208,420), marking one of the highest prices for an electric SUV on the market. The electric Range Rover boasts a 118.5kWh battery, an 800-volt electrical architecture, and up to 600km (373 miles) of WLTP range, with real-world driving range estimated at around 535km.
The SUV supports DC fast charging up to 350kW, allowing a 10% to 80% charge in about 22 minutes. Its all-wheel-drive system generates 543hp and 850Nm, accelerating from 0 to 60mph in approximately 4.3 seconds. JLR's electric Range Rover maintains its all-terrain capability, including the ability to wade through up to 900mm of water.
The exterior design closely resembles the conventional Range Rover, while aerodynamic changes improve efficiency. The cabin remains luxurious, featuring a 13.7-inch digital driver display, a 13.1-inch central touchscreen, an AI-based range predictor, and a digital twin. The vehicle is assembled at JLR's Solihull plant in the UK, alongside combustion and hybrid versions.
The electric Range Rover targets a market of buyers willing to pay over $200,000 for an electric SUV that still embodies the luxury and distinctive character of a Range Rover.
