Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has opened bookings for the all-new Range Rover Electric in India, marking the brand’s entry into the fully electric luxury SUV segment. The production-spec model combines the familiar Range Rover design and off-road capability with a dual-motor electric powertrain, an 800V electrical architecture and a claimed WLTP range of up to 600 km. India bookings opened on September 2, 2026, with the SUV arriving as a completely built unit (CBU). Pricing has not yet been officially announced.
Range Rover Electric: Powertrain and Performance
The Range Rover Electric uses twin 260 kW permanent-magnet electric motors, producing up to 550 PS and 850 Nm of torque. JLR claims a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 4.5 seconds, while 80–120 km/h overtaking acceleration takes as little as 2.7 seconds. The motors use silicon-carbide semiconductors to support rapid switching and improved efficiency.
118.5 kWh Battery and 600 km Range
The electric SUV gets a usable 118.5 kWh lithium-ion double-stack battery comprising 344 prismatic cells. Its 800V architecture supports DC fast charging at up to 350 kW. JLR claims a 10–80 per cent charging time of around 22 minutes, while a 10-minute charging session can add up to 220 km of WLTP range. The claimed maximum WLTP range is 600 km, with JLR quoting an estimated real-world figure of around 535 km.
Range Rover Electric: Off-Road Capability
The Range Rover Electric has been engineered to retain the all-terrain ability associated with the nameplate. Its Integrated Traction Management system can respond in as little as 50 milliseconds, while Intelligent Driveline Dynamics manages torque distribution to help prevent traction loss. The SUV can wade through up to 900 mm of water. Single-pedal driving also enables controlled pull-away on slopes of up to 33 degrees and rolling climbs of up to 45 degrees.
Thermal Management and Battery Technology
JLR’s ThermAssist heat-management system is designed to optimise battery performance, charging and range in extreme temperatures. The company says the system can add up to 40 km of range and reduce heating energy use by up to 40 per cent. A Battery Digital Twin monitors more than 900 diagnostic data points, working with over-the-air software updates to support proactive maintenance.
Extensive Testing and Development
JLR says the Range Rover Electric has undergone more than 1.5 million kilometres of physical testing in environments including Arjeplog in Sweden, the Dubai desert and the company’s Eastnor Castle facility in the UK. More than 250,000 hours of virtual testing were also completed. The company has filed more than 300 patent applications associated with the vehicle.
India Variants and Bookings
For India, bookings are open for the standard-wheelbase Range Rover Electric in Autobiography trim, the long-wheelbase versions in SV, SV Ultra and SV Black trims, and the standard-wheelbase First Edition. The First Edition is available in Belgravia Green, Santorini Black and Varesine Blue, with a Light Cloud Ultrafabrics and Kvadrat interior. Bookings have opened for a token amount of Rs 10 lakh.
Manufacturing and Warranty
The Range Rover Electric is manufactured at JLR’s Solihull plant in the UK, while its battery packs and electric drive units are produced at the company’s Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre in Wolverhampton. The electric propulsion system carries an eight-year or 160,000 km warranty, subject to market-specific terms.
Range Rover Electric: Price and Rivals
JLR has not officially announced the India price of the Range Rover Electric. As a fully imported luxury EV, it will sit at the top end of India’s electric SUV market. Its combination of luxury, performance and off-road capability will put it up against other premium electric SUVs, including the Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology.
Verdict
The Range Rover Electric brings the iconic luxury SUV into the EV era without abandoning its core focus on comfort and all-terrain capability. With a 118.5 kWh battery, up to 550 PS, 850 Nm, a claimed 600 km WLTP range, 350 kW fast charging and 900 mm water-wading capability, it is positioned as one of the most technically ambitious luxury electric SUVs entering the Indian market.
