Range Rover: launch into the all-electric future
EXTREME TESTS The Range Rover Electric combines more patent applications than any Range Rover model before. The first prototypes are currently undergoing the toughest test program in the brand's history during test drives.
Range Rover is also about to enter the electric age. The brand is now opening a waiting list for the Range Rover Electric - as a preliminary step to opening the order books.
Geraldine Ingham, Managing Director Range Rover: "Since its launch in 2021, the latest generation of Range Rover has set new standards in terms of appeal. Based on this success story, we are now opening the official waiting list."
Distinctive design
Range Rover's first all-electric model reinforces the luxury for which the brand stands. However, the British design remains unmistakable. At the same time, it ensures that towing capacity, wading ability and off-road characteristics are above the level of other electric luxury SUVs.
Thomas Müller, Executive Director Product Engineering: "We are purposefully on track to create the quietest and most refined Range Rover ever. The ingredients that make the Range Rover's success possible remain unchanged: timeless design, quiet passenger cabin and the ability to go anywhere."
Modular longitudinal architecture
The virtual development phase lasted over a year. It included aspects such as the stability of the front end, investigations into the chassis load and virtual wading runs up to a speed of 50 km/h. Only then did the first physical models begin to be built. Only then did the construction of the first physical models begin. They have now set off on test drives all over the world - from Sweden to Dubai, in temperatures ranging from minus 40 to plus 50 degrees Celsius. The new Range Rover Electric is based on the Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) and is manufactured at the Solihull plant alongside current mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid models. Batteries and electric drive units will be produced for the first time at JLR's new Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Center in Wolverhampton.
