Range Rover Sport Electric confirmed by Jaguar Land Rover
Besides Range Rover Electric, there will also be an EV version of Range Rover Sport
It’s been some time since we last heard about the Range Rover Electric. While Jaguar Land Rover did post several teasers of the electric SUV being put through hot climate tests, that bit of news happened way back in late 2024. JLR then said they planto launch the Range Rover Electric in 2025.
Fast forward to 2026, and the brand has decided to push back its official launch to sometime later this year to give the prototype vehicle extensive testing. However, that won’t be the only electric model to come out of Solihull. In fact, those who attended this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed may have already seen it.
This is the Range Rover Sport Electric, and yes, it will slot below the much bigger Range Rover Electric flagship. According to JLR, the Range Rover Sport Electric signals a new era of sporting luxury and promises to be more dynamic and faster than ever.
While exact powertrain specifications have yet to be revealed, JLR did say that it will come with a suite of advanced technologies that unleash more power and torque. These will then be amplified by an advanced new chassis tune and audio sound to create a driving experience that feels as distinctive as it is visceral over any terrain.
“Electric power brings a new edge to Range Rover Sport. The preview at Goodwood Festival of Speed is only a glimpse of how this model will redefine performance SUVs again later this year, combining the refinement and immediate performance of electric drive while further elevating the unmistakable character of Range Rover Sport our clients already know and love,” said Martin Limpert, Global Managing Director at JLR.
The Range Rover Sport Electric will complete the powertrain lineup of the model, which already consists of a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), a mild-hybrid V8 (MHEV), and six-cylinder turbocharged gas & diesel engines.
More details of the Range Rover Sport Electric will be revealed later this year, which could happen once JLR finally unveils the Range Rover Electric.
