Update (June 22, 2026): ‘One App’ added to ‘Interior,’ and ‘Off-roading prowess,’ ‘Improved performance,’ and ‘300-mile range, 350 kW charging’ of ‘Specifications’ and ‘Release Date’ updated.
Land Rover has confirmed the Range Rover Sport Electric as its second EV, following the all-electric Range Rover. Since its launch in 2022, the third-generation Range Rover Sport has offered partial electrification. Here is everything that we expect from the battery-electric vehicle (BEV).
Design
The third-generation Range Rover Sport’s clean, reductive design provides a strong base for a pure-electric SUV. Land Rover developed the model for efficiency, so only minimal changes are needed for the transition to full electrification.
The gas-powered Range Rover Sport introduced features like flush glazing, flush door handles, a hidden waist rail finisher, and the largest spoiler ever fitted to a Range Rover. It also uses a contoured underfloor design. Active Brake Cooling opens ducts only when required.
All of these measures make the SUV 15% more aerodynamically efficient than its predecessor, achieving a drag coefficient of 0.29. The Range Rover Sport Electric will build on this base.
Seeing the approach Land Rover is taking with the Range Rover Electric, we don’t anticipate big exterior changes on the Range Rover Sport Electric, as we’ve illustrated in our exclusive rendering (pictured above). Updates should include a new upper grille, specially designed 23-inch wheels, and unique body accents.
Another feature exclusive to the Range Rover Sport Electric should be the electrically operated charge port door that can be opened conveniently through a button or voice command from inside the vehicle or through the key fob when standing outside.
Interior
The interior of the Range Rover Sport Electric is expected to remain very close to the gas model. Land Rover may introduce additional sustainable materials along with exclusive trim and color choices. The electric version will build on the existing options with lightweight Ultrafabrics and other eco-friendly finishes.
The 13.7-inch Interactive Driver Display and the Pivi Pro touchscreen infotainment system are likely to carry over. Both systems should include powertrain-specific data and a dedicated welcome screen for the electric variant.
One App
JLR is working on a new smartphone app called ‘One App’ that will integrate all its services. The launch of this app will coincide with the arrival of the Range Rover Electric, and the new digital platform should be rolled out for the Range Rover Sport Electric soon after.
Customers of the Range Rover Sport Electric will be able to track their vehicle order, find charging stations and pay for charging, and perform several other vehicle-related functions via the One App.
Specifications
Off-roading prowess
Land Rover will equip the Range Rover Sport EV with the newly developed Intelligent Torque Management system in place of an ABS-based traction control setup. This system directs power to individual electric motors, cutting torque reaction time from about 100 ms to 1 ms, offering more control.
These features would add to the inherent benefits of an electric powertrain, such as instant torque and low-speed control through one-pedal driving, which also comes in handy off-road. The battery pack is likely to be fully integrated perfectly into the vehicle floor, so that it does not hang below the body.
Improved performance
The Range Rover Sport BEV should outpace the gas-powered Range Rover Sport SV. A dual-motor drivetrain should be standard, with a primary unit at the back, and a supporting unit with a disconnect function at the front.
The top configuration, which we expect to pack 542 hp and 627 lb.-ft. of torque, should accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 3.5 seconds. The smooth and silent powertrain should make this model the quietest Range Rover Sport in the lineup.
The Range Rover Electric is 7 dB quieter than its ICE counterpart, and the Range Rover Sport Electric should offer a similar improvement.
300-mile range, 350 kW charging
The Range Rover Sport Electric should use a module-less battery pack with prismatic NMC cells whose cathodes have 91% nickel content. The net energy capacity is expected to be 118 kWh, providing around 300 miles of range under EPA testing.
With an 800-volt system, the battery pack should support charging at up to 350 kW. A 10-80% charge may take around 20 minutes. We also expect to see it with the new ‘ThermAssist’ thermal management system cutting heat energy use and protecting winter range.
Ground Clearance, Towing & Breakover Angle
While the benefits are evident, not every specification should be better than the current model.
According to Autocar UK, the Range Rover BEV’s ground clearance is around 10% lower than that of the ICE version due to the battery packaging. Its breakover angle drops from 27 degrees to 23 degrees, while towing capacity is down by 28.5% to 2.5 tons. We’ll have to see how much these values drop in the Range Rover Sport BEV.
Price & Manufacturing
Range Rover and Range Rover Sport continue to perform well; SV Ultra elevating offering further and BEV variants nearing launch.
From JLR’s Q4 FY26 results presentation made on May 14, 2026, discussing global outlook
The base Range Rover Sport Electric should cost around USD 100,000 in the U.S. market. The product will be manufactured at JLR’s Solihull (UK) plant.
The vehicles (Range Rover EV and Range Rover Sport EV) go down the same trim and final line. They go down virtually the same body shop line. So, we are really flexible.

Release Date
Land Rover is behind schedule with its EV program, with deliveries of the inaugural model, the Range Rover Electric, expected to start in Q4 2026. While it should be revealed this year, the Range Rover Sport Electric may not be available widely before early 2027.
During Tata Motors’ Q4 FY2026 earnings call on May 14, Molyneux reaffirmed that the Range Rover Sport BEV is the second of the three Range Rover EVs heading into production. It is part of the three JLR reveals programmed during the second half of this year.
Range Rover Electric, Range Rover Sport Electric will be the first into production, followed by the reveal of the production version of the new Jaguar Type 01. And quickly after that, the launch of the first EMA car, a Range Rover.

During JLR’s Investor Day 2026 event, CEO PB Balaji also said that the Range Rover Electric is the second of the company’s five new launches scheduled by the end of 2027.
We have five launches coming in the next 18 months. We have the Range Rover Electric in, the Range Rover Sport Electric, we have two EMA cars coming in, and we also have the new Jag coming in as well, the Type 01.
