E-Geländewagen: Jetzt rollt auch der Range Rover Sport an die Ladesäule

Ein Range Rover kommt selten allein - auch nicht mit E-Antrieb. Nach ihrem Flaggschiff setzen die Briten nun auch den Range Rover Sport unter Strom - und machen den leisen Luxus etwas erschwinglicher.

E-Geländewagen: Jetzt rollt auch der Range Rover Sport an die Ladesäule

The electric Range Rover Sport has joined the ranks of electric vehicles, following in the footsteps of its more prestigious sibling. After the debut of the Range Rover's clean top model, the British manufacturer has now introduced the Range Rover Sport with battery power. This electric version is set to hit the market within the year, priced at roughly 120,400 Euros, making it about one-quarter cheaper than its luxury counterpart.

While the Range Rover Sport lacks the allure and prominence of the flagship model, it benefits from the same technology, according to Land Rover. Like the Range Rover, the Sport also features a dual battery setup of 118.5 kWh, utilizing 800-volt technology to deliver a maximum charging capacity of 350 kW. The estimated range is slightly improved due to a more aerodynamic design, reaching up to 609 kilometers.

Despite sharing the same electric drivetrain, the Range Rover Sport presents itself with a more sporty setup. The electric motors provide a combined system power of 330 kW/450 PS in the base version and up to 404 kW/550 PS in the top model. These motors enable the nearly three-ton vehicle to accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, challenging the performance of many sports cars. However, the high speed is not sustainable, as exceeding 200 km/h is not feasible.
