Overview
- The Sport Electric was previewed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Thursday and Range Rover has confirmed a production version will arrive later in 2026.
- Multiple outlets report the EV shares the full‑size Range Rover’s dual‑motor all‑wheel‑drive layout and a roughly 118.5 kWh battery on an 800‑volt electrical system to support very fast charging.
- Published estimates put combined output near 540–550 hp, about 850 Nm of torque and a 0–100 km/h time around 4.4 seconds, though final factory figures are pending.
- Range Rover says the electric Sport will retain the model’s off‑road capability and will join existing petrol, mild‑hybrid V8 and plug‑in hybrid Sport variants rather than replace them.
- The Sport EV is positioned as a lower‑cost, higher‑volume companion to the flagship Range Rover Electric and will face rivals such as the Porsche Cayenne Electric and BMW iX5, with price and certified range set to determine its competitiveness.
