Range Rover Electric SUV Debuts with 542 HP and 627 lb-ft Torque

Range Rover has unveiled its first all-electric model, the Range Rover Electric, slated for release in 2027. The luxury SUV boasts more torque than any other vehicle in the brand's history, with 627 lb-ft from dual in-house 260 kW electric motors producing 542 hp. Power comes from an 118.5 kWh, 800-volt battery, enabling a 10-80% recharge in 22 minutes via a NACS port. The EV accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds and offers an EPA-estimated 33 miles on a full charge. Despite electrification, off-road capability remains intact, with a traction management system responding in 50 milliseconds—100 times faster than combustion equivalents—and wading depth of 35 inches, plus 45-degree slope capability. The design closely mirrors the gas-powered Range Rover, with aerodynamic tweaks to wheels, underbody, and grille. Matt Becker, vehicle engineering director at parent company JLR, emphasized the vehicle's composure across all terrains. Pricing starts at $113,300 for the standard wheelbase SE, with the Autobiography long wheelbase at $179,500, and a limited First Edition available this year. The announcement was made by Robb Report, with Nicole Hoey as digital editor.
