JLR has teased its first fully-electric Range Rover model for the global market. The new Range Rover electric model is scheduled to make its debut in 2024, with the company calling it the “quietest & most refined Range Rover ever created.”<\/p>\n
The British carmaker has also announced that customers wanting to purchase the new Range Rover electric can put their names on the waiting list. These customers will be among the first to have the opportunity to place a pre-order.<\/p>\n
The carmaker stated that the company has completed all virtual tests. The first physical prototypes have been built and are now undergoing on-road testing around the world. The tests are said to evaluate the EV’s electric drive system, battery, chassis integrity, vehicle dynamics and thermal derating. Land Rover claims that the performance of the upcoming Range Rover electric will be comparable to the brand’s flagship Range Rover V8 model. The Range Rover EV will also feature towing, wading and all-terrain technology.<\/p>\n
While details of the Range Rover Electric are scarce, the company has revealed that the car will have an 800-volt electric architecture, allowing for rapid charging and that the electric SUV will have a water-wading capability of up to 850 mm.<\/p>\n
