QUICK BRIEF
Land Rover’s first battery-electric Range Rover pairs a 333-mile EPA estimate with standard dual-motor AWD, but its 542-hp output is less convincing at this price level.
The 2027 Land Rover Range Rover Electric is a consequential vehicle: it is reported as the brand’s first fully electric Range Rover, and it enters the flagship SUV formula without rewriting its appearance. From most angles, it closely resembles the combustion-powered model, with only details such as the grille and wheels separating it.
The fundamentals are credible. Dual motors deliver all-wheel drive, while a 118.5-kWh battery supports an EPA-estimated 333 miles of range. For a full-size luxury electric SUV, that is competitive usable range rather than a merely symbolic electrification effort. Land Rover also quotes a 4.3-second 0–60 mph time and a 22-minute 10–80 percent DC fast-charge time on a 350-kW charger.
The weak point is output. At 542 horsepower, the Electric should be properly quick, but the figure feels somewhat restrained for an ultra-luxury electric flagship expected to start around $140,000. Its 627 lb-ft torque figure, 800-volt architecture, and claimed ability to add up to 125 miles in 10 minutes have been reported by other outlets, reinforcing the focus on effortless performance and charging convenience rather than outright power leadership.
Car and Driver also reports air suspension, a traction-management system said to react to wheel slip in 50 milliseconds, and a 13.1-inch infotainment display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Those details fit the Range Rover brief: quiet luxury, serious all-weather capability, and technology that should work without dominating the cabin.
Final pricing, trim content, real-world efficiency, and other key ownership figures remain unconfirmed. Still, the Electric establishes a solid technical starting point for Range Rover electrification—and creates a credible basis to expect electric expansion across models such as the Range Rover Sport and Discovery.
For buyers, the Range Rover Electric is compelling if long range, AWD composure, and familiar Range Rover design matter more than class-leading horsepower.
CARIARY’S TAKE
The Range Rover Electric makes a convincing first electric flagship through its 333-mile range and AWD setup, though 542 horsepower feels underwhelming for the money.
