Range Rover Sport Electric: luxury SUV with 405 kW and a range of 609 kilometers
The Range Rover Sport Electric has been officially unveiled. This large SUV is available in two power versions, with 311 and 405 kW outputs. Both versions feature all-wheel drive, a 118.5 kWh battery, and an 800 V architecture.
The range extends up to 609 kilometers, and fast charging can bring the battery from 10% to 80% in 22 minutes. The Range Rover Sport Electric is now available for ordering in the Netherlands, with a starting price of 123,197 euros.
Design
The Range Rover Sport Electric looks very similar to the existing Range Rover Sport. It features the same wide and angular body shape, high shoulder line, and relatively low roofline. At the front are narrow headlamps, a wide grille, and large air intakes in the bumper.
The electric version is distinguished by an aerodynamically optimized grille and special alloy wheels. According to Range Rover, these modifications provide up to an additional 16 kilometers of range during highway driving. The drag coefficient is 0.29 Cd.
The Sport Electric features EV badges in the center of the wheels, just like the Range Rover Electric.
Range Rover offers various options to customize the appearance, including a Black Pack with dark accents and a Satin Wrap with a matte finish. The First Edition comes standard in Zadar Grey body color with a Satin Wrap, a black contrasting roof, and 22-inch light alloy wheels.
Interior
The interior also largely follows the design of the existing Range Rover Sport, with a strong emphasis on comfort and high-quality materials.
The Range Rover has also developed a special sound profile that matches the character of its electric powertrain. The sound changes depending on the driving mode selected.
The trunk capacity is 789 liters with the rear seats in use. This increases to 1,814 liters when the rear seats are folded down. The maximum length of the cargo area is then 1.83 meters. There is no frunk.
For the Autobiography version, Range Rover also offers the Bespoke program. Customers can choose from additional body colors, special interior materials, and various personalized details. For customers in the Benelux region, Range Rover has a Bespoke Studio in Antwerp.
Technical specifications of the Range Rover Sport Electric
The Range Rover Sport Electric is built on Jaguar Land Rover’s MLA-Flex platform. This platform supports various powertrain options, including fully electric ones. The vehicle is manufactured at Jaguar Land Rover’s plant in Solihull, using the same production lines as other versions of the Range Rover Sport. Its dimensions are 4950/2050/1820, with a wheelbase of 2997 mm. There are two dual-motor AWD variants: the EV450 and the EV550.
The EV450 has a system power of 331 kW and a maximum torque of 677 Nm. This enables the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. The EV550 delivers 405 kW and 850 Nm, requiring only 4.5 seconds to reach 100 km/h from a standstill.
The top speed is limited to 200 kilometers per hour.
Battery and range of the Range Rover Sport Electric
The Range Rover Sport Electric features an NMC battery with a gross capacity of 128.6 kWh and a usable capacity of 118.5 kWh. The maximum WLTP range is 609 kilometers, though this can drop to 590 kilometers depending on the version and equipment. Range Rover also provides an estimated real-world range of around 535 kilometers.
800-volt fast charging
The Range Rover Sport Electric can charge quite quickly thanks to its 800 V architecture. With a suitable DC fast charger of at least 350 kW, the vehicle can gain up to 220 kilometers of range in just ten minutes. Charging from 10% to 80% takes approximately 22 minutes.
The car also supports fast charging at 400 V charging stations. With a suitable charger of at least 250 kW, it can gain up to 158 kilometers of range in ten minutes.
The Range Rover Sport Electric features a “Battery Digital Twin,” which allows Range Rover to monitor the battery’s condition digitally. Software updates can be applied remotely. The battery comes with an eight-year warranty or 160,000 kilometers of coverage.
Suspension and All-Wheel Drive
The body structure of the electric version is 61 percent stiffer than that of the plug-in hybrid models. The center of gravity is also 73 millimeters lower. This should result in more stable handling, especially at higher speeds and in corners.
The Range Rover Sport Electric features independent suspension, with double wishbones at the front and a multilink setup at the rear. It also comes equipped with Dynamic Air Suspension, adaptive shock absorbers, and electronic stability systems.
In addition, there is Dynamic Response Pro with Electronic Active Roll Control (eARC). This system reduces body roll in corners. All-wheel drive is also available. It is standard on the EV550 and optional on the EV450. With all-wheel drive, the turning circle is only 10.95 meters.
Off-Roading and Towing Capacity
The electric Range Rover Sport remains suitable for off-roading. The maximum ground clearance is 263 millimeters, and the wading depth is 900 millimeters. According to Range Rover, the vehicle can climb slopes up to 45 degrees.
The maximum trailer weight is 2,500 kilograms, allowing the electric SUV to tow a fairly heavy caravan as well.
The curb weight starts at 2,770 kilograms. Thus, the Range Rover Sport Electric is a heavy vehicle despite the use of aluminum in its construction.
Prices of the Range Rover Sport Electric in the Netherlands
The Range Rover Sport Electric will be available for ordering in the Netherlands starting September 30, 2026. There will be four trims: Dynamic SE, Dynamic HSE, Autobiography, and First Edition.
The starting price of the Dynamic SE is 123,197 euros. The prices for the other models will be announced later. The new electric version will join the existing Range Rover Sport lineup, alongside the gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid models. The manufacturer has not yet announced when the first units will be delivered to the Netherlands.
