Land Rover Unveils Electric Range Rover Sport with 609 km Range

Land Rover has revealed the all-electric version of its Range Rover Sport model, which will join the existing gasoline, diesel, and plug-in hybrid variants. This new electric model features two electric motors and a large battery, eliminating the internal combustion engine. Orders have opened in the UK, with the first deliveries expected in early 2027. The vehicle will be manufactured at the Solihull plant in the UK on the same production lines as other versions of the model.

Exterior changes are subtle, including a more closed-off front grille, wheels designed to reduce air resistance, and a modified lower rear bumper without exhaust pipes, maintaining the overall Range Rover Sport aesthetic. The powertrain consists of a front and rear motor providing all-wheel drive, delivering a combined output of 550 horsepower and 850 Newton-meters of torque, the highest ever for a Range Rover Sport. It can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.5 seconds using a dedicated launch mode.

The battery has a capacity of 118.5 kWh, offering an official WLTP range of up to 609 kilometers, with the manufacturer estimating a realistic range of up to 535 kilometers. The battery is integrated into the vehicle's floor, resulting in a 7.3 cm lower center of gravity and a 61% increase in body stiffness compared to the plug-in hybrid version. The electrical system operates at 800 volts and supports fast charging up to 350 kW, allowing a 10% to 80% charge in approximately 22 minutes. Ten minutes of charging can add up to 220 kilometers of range, while a full charge on a 22 kW AC charger takes under seven hours.

Land Rover emphasizes that the electric model retains its off-road capabilities, with manufacturer data indicating it can wade through water up to 90 cm deep and climb a 45-degree slope under suitable conditions. The 550 hp versions are equipped with air suspension, adaptive dampers, and rear-wheel steering. The interior features a 13.1-inch central touchscreen and a 13.7-inch digital instrument cluster.

Pricing in the UK starts at £109,810 (approximately 446,000 shekels) for the Dynamic SE trim. The Autobiography version costs around 499,000 shekels, and the launch edition is priced at approximately 513,000 shekels. The battery warranty in the UK is eight years or 160,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Pricing, arrival dates, and trim levels for Israel have not yet been announced.
