Range Rover Electric 2024: Prices, specs and release date

• New Range Rover Electric is a pure EV version of the luxury SUV
• Teaser images suggest a similar appearance to other Range Rover models
• Company boasts of V8-like performance, rigorous capability and 850mm wading depth
• Arrives later in 2024 with prices likely to start from £125,000

The new Range Rover Electric arrives in 2024 to electrify the luxury SUV line-up. The brand’s first ever pure electric car, the waiting list for the new Range Rover Electric is now open.

The new Range Rover Electric will join other petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid new Range Rover models to further expand the range. It also means Land Rover steals a march over luxury rivals such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley and Aston Martin.

Apart from the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV rivals for the new Range Rover Electric are few at this stage, unless you count the BMW iX or the smaller Audi Q8 e-tron

2024 Range Rover Electric prices and release date

The new Range Rover Electric will be a premium-version of the new Range Rover at launch. The current Range Rover line-up starts from over £100,000 and it is likely new Range Rover Electric prices will begin from £125,000.

The new Range Rover Electric has not been released for ordering yet. Instead, those keen to be first in line can sign up to join a waiting list. When pre-ordering opens, they will be the first people invited to configure their new Range Rover Electric, for an expected release later in 2024.  

2024 Range Rover Electric styling, interior and technology

Visually, the new Range Rover Electric will look similar to all other new Range Rover models. The luxury SUV has been very well received since its launch in 2022, and JLR knows EV owners may not want to flaunt their zero-emissions status.

Teaser images suggest the new Range Rover Electric will therefore have just subtle cues that it is an EV – such as the EV logo in the centre of the alloy wheels. There will also be a more closed-off grille, to improve the Range Rover Electric’s aero efficiency and eek out a little more range on the motorway.

Inside, the new Range Rover Electric will use the firm’s Pivi Pro infotainment technology. A freestanding screen in the centre of the dash is fully configurable, with an additional electronic driver’s display that will be enhanced with EV-specific displays.

Through the infotainment system, the new Range Rover Electric will also make owning and running an EV easier. Features include effortless charging, energy partnerships, software-over-the-air updates and “intelligent technology to maximise range”.  

The infotainment system in the new Range Rover Electric also contains the heater controls, as physical dials have been ditched in order to give a cleaner, more minimalist look. Climate control functions now comprise a strip at the bottom of the screen.

One Range Rover Electric standout that we can look forward to is exceptional refinement. It will be “the quietest and most refined Range Rover ever,” thanks to special active road noise cancellation tech and the sheer quietness delivered by its electric underpinnings. We can expect “serene modern luxury” according to the JLR.  

This lavish refinement will be backed up with the ultimate in luxury for new Range Rover Electric passengers. The firm’s adaptable MLA (Modular Longitudinal Architecture) means space will be identical to all other Range Rovers. However, while the regular Range Rover can optionally seat seven, it is not yet clear if the new Range Rover Electric will be available with a third row of seats.

2024 Range Rover Electric motors, performance and range

The new Range Rover Electric will have performance comparable to a flagship Range Rover V8, promise bosses. The 530PS range-topper does 0-60mph in 4.4 seconds, giving an exciting benchmark for the new Range Rover Electric to match (or beat).

JLR also says the new Range Rover Electric will boast exceptional go-anywhere capability that will ensure “towing, wading and all-terrain technology surpass any other luxury electric SUV”.

This means the new Range Rover Electric will use a twin-motor setup to deliver all-wheel drive capability. Learnings from the existing Range Rover PHEV will be deployed – while standout abilities include wading through up to 850mm of deep water.

Battery details for the new Range Rover Electric have not been revealed. It is likely to have a range of at least 300 miles though, to deliver the convenience owners expect. This means a battery pack larger than 100kWh is likely.

To help further with convenience, the new Range Rover Electric will have an 800V architecture, so it can use the very fastest 350kW rapid chargers. Charging times will be significantly cut, despite the large size of the battery.  

JLR says more patents have been filed for the new Range Rover Electric than any other Range Rover before. It has also been subjected to one of the most rigorous engineering sign-off programmes ever, across “all conditions and every terrain”.

New Range Rover Electric reliability should be boosted by specific assessments to ensure robustness of the electric drive system. These include underfloor, battery durability, chassis integrity and vehicle dynamics tests for thermal derating – meaning it will be robust and reliable no matter what the conditions or temperatures.
