Land Rover has taken the wraps off an all-electric version of its Range Rover Sport, a model that keeps the muscular styling of the combustion-engined car while swapping in a dual-motor powertrain. The reveal was reported by Chinese outlet Chezhiwang (车质网), which said the new EV is built on an upgraded version of the flexible MLA-Flex longitudinal architecture.
Performance and battery
The electric Range Rover Sport produces 542 metric horsepower (about 399 kW) and 850 Nm of torque, enough for a 0-100 km/h sprint of 4.5 seconds with launch control engaged - close to the pace of the supercharged V8 version. The car uses an 800-volt electrical architecture and a 118.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, giving a claimed maximum range of 600 km on China's CLTC test cycle. That figure is likely to translate to roughly 480-510 km under the more stringent WLTP standard, since CLTC tends to be 15-20 percent more optimistic.
Charging is a strong point: the SUV supports DC fast charging at up to 350 kW, which can take the battery from 10 to 80 percent in about 22 minutes. Land Rover has also developed a synthetic sound system to give the silent EV a more engaging driving atmosphere.
Off-road credentials
True to the Range Rover name, the electric version retains serious off-road capability. It comes with an intelligent traction management system, dynamic air suspension, active roll control and all-wheel steering, and can wade through water up to 900 mm deep and climb 45-degree slopes. Compared with the current plug-in hybrid model, body rigidity is up 61 percent and the centre of gravity is 73 mm lower.
Exterior changes are subtle: a more aerodynamic front grille, bespoke alloy wheels and a revised rear section that drops the exhaust outlets. Two trim levels - Dynamic HSE and Autobiography - will be offered, with deliveries in some markets scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027. Land Rover has not yet published pricing for the electric Range Rover Sport.
