- Range Rover opened UK orders for the Range Rover Sport EV at approximately £110,000 ($146,000) — roughly £44,000 less than the flagship Range Rover Electric, which starts at £154,070
- The Sport EV uses a dual-motor AWD powertrain producing up to 542 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, accelerating from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds in Dynamic Launch Mode
- Powered by a 118.5 kWh battery on an 800V architecture, the Sport EV delivers up to 378 miles of WLTP range (333 miles real-world) and charges from 10% to 80% in about 22 minutes at up to 350 kW
- Range Rover equips the electric SUV with off-road hardware including 900 mm wading depth, 45-degree slope climbing, adaptive dynamics, and an electric active roll system
- US deliveries will follow in 2027 as a 2028 model year, with expected pricing around $120,000 to $130,000, compared to the flagship Range Rover Electric's $140,450 US starting price
- Martin Limbert, Range Rover's managing director, framed the vehicle as 'first and foremost a Range Rover Sport' that uses electric propulsion to 'unlock new levels of responsiveness and precision'
Why it matters: At £110,000, the Sport EV undercuts the flagship Range Rover Electric by £44,000, giving luxury buyers a meaningfully cheaper entry into JLR's electric lineup — but US customers wait until 2027. The 350 kW charging and 378-mile WLTP range directly address the two purchase objections (range anxiety, charging time) that have slowed luxury EV adoption.
