Range Rover presents its first 100% electric model with a range of up to 600 km

Range Rover has officially unveiled the fully electric version of its iconic SUV. Produced at the Solihull plant in the UK, the first Range Rover Electric marks the British brand's entry into battery-only mobility, maintaining the flexible architecture that already accommodates combustion and hybrid variants. The model is equipped with two 260kW permanent magnet electric motors—one per axle—delivering a combined power of 550hp (PS) and a maximum torque of 850Nm. These figures allow the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 4.5 seconds and recover from 80 to 120km/h in 2.7 seconds, according to the brand's statement. Powering the propulsion system is a lithium-ion battery with 118.5kWh of usable capacity and an 800-volt architecture. According to the manufacturer, the range reaches up to 600 kilometers on the WLTP cycle (estimated at around 535km in real-world conditions). At ultra-fast DC charging stations up to 350kW, the vehicle can recover from 10 to 80% charge in 22 minutes, or add 220km of range in just 10 minutes. The battery comes with an eight-year or 160,000-kilometer factory warranty. Regarding dynamics and off-road performance, the brand sought to preserve the model's traditional capabilities. The Range Rover Electric introduces a new Integrated Traction Management (ITM) system, capable of responding in 50 milliseconds—up to 100 times faster than an equivalent mechanical combustion system—while maintaining a wading depth capacity of up to 900 millimeters. The system also integrates a 'Single Pedal' driving mode, capable of starting on 33-degree inclines and overcoming slopes of up to 45 degrees. The model, which totaled more than 1.5 million kilometers and 250,000 hours of physical and virtual testing before launch, has over 300 associated patent applications—including the patented ThermAssist thermal management system and its own propulsion units. The Range Rover Electric will be available in short and long wheelbase versions, in SE, HSE, Autobiography, SV trim levels, and a First Edition launch edition. Orders are now open in Portugal, with prices starting at 165,962.70 euros.
