Land Rover has finally introduced an electric variant of its flagship Range Rover, arriving alongside the petrol and hybrid models for the 2027 model year. The Range Rover Electric uses a dual-motor setup delivering 542HP and 850NM of torque, sending power to all four wheels at all times. Land Rover claims a 0-97KM/H sprint of just 4.3 seconds, and early prototype rides support that figure. The brand has kept the design nearly identical to the combustion version, changing only the grille, wheels and underbody panels to improve aerodynamics.
Range Rover Electric Design & Exterior Changes
Land Rover has deliberately avoided reinventing the Range Rover’s look for its electric debut. Engineers modified the grille, wheel design and underbody panelling purely to cut drag, while the rest of the silhouette stays familiar. Even the cabin carries over almost unchanged, despite housing a large battery pack beneath the floor. This restraint keeps the EV recognisable as a Range Rover first and an electric vehicle second, a quality that should appeal to loyal buyers across the Gulf region.
Range Rover Electric Powertrain & Performance
Twin electric motors provide full-time all-wheel drive, combining for 542HP and 850NM of torque. Land Rover pegs the 0-97KM/H time at 4.3 seconds, a figure that felt believable during initial prototype testing. Every model rides on adjustable air-spring suspension, which delivers a smooth, quiet ride on paved roads. The setup also translates well off the beaten path, handling light trail obstacles with ease during test sessions at Land Rover’s Gaydon facility in the UK.
Range Rover Electric Off-Road & Desert Capability
Land Rover insists the Electric can tackle far tougher terrain than the light trails tested so far suggest, an important claim for buyers who regularly venture into desert conditions. An electric traction-management system reacts to wheel spin within 50 milliseconds, a response 100 times quicker than the combustion-engine version manages, which should aid sand and dune driving. Single-pedal driving also adds finer control on steep descents off-road. The Range Rover Electric further matches its petrol sibling’s wading depth of 89CM, so wadi crossings remain just as capable.
Range Rover Electric Battery & Charging
A 119KWH battery pack underpins an estimated range of 536KM on a full charge. The pack sits within an 800-volt architecture, supporting DC fast-charging speeds of up to 350KW. Land Rover states a 10-80 percent charge takes only 22 minutes, and a 10-minute top-up adds roughly 201KM of range. Fast, reliable charging infrastructure across UAE and Saudi cities should make these figures easy to put to use.
Range Rover Electric Interior & Features
Owners get a companion smartphone app for remote access, letting them adjust climate control, activate the onboard air purifier and check remaining range without approaching the vehicle. This is particularly useful during the region’s hot summer months, when pre-cooling the cabin before entry adds real comfort. The First Edition model introduces a Light Cloud cabin theme finished in Ultrafabric, a faux-leather material, though genuine leather remains available as an option. Buyers seeking further customisation can also turn to Land Rover’s Bespoke programme for a more personalised specification.
Range Rover Electric Price In AED
Land Rover has priced the Range Rover Electric from USD 140,550 in its home market, which converts to approximately AED 516,000 at the dirham’s fixed exchange rate. This represents a notable jump over the petrol-powered base model at USD 115,750, or roughly AED 425,000, though the gap narrows considerably against the plug-in hybrid P550e. Land Rover has not yet confirmed official Middle East pricing or a regional launch date for the Range Rover Electric.
| Variant | Converted Price (AED) |
|---|---|
| Range Rover (Petrol, Base) | Approx AED 425,000 |
| Range Rover P550e (Plug-In Hybrid) | Approx AED 482,000 |
| Range Rover Electric | Approx AED 516,000 |
Range Rover Electric Launch Summary
The Range Rover Electric marks a genuine milestone, giving the 57-year-old nameplate a charging port for the first time. Its 542HP dual-motor setup, 536KM range and 850NM of torque place it firmly among serious luxury EVs, while retained off-road ability keeps it true to the badge. Pricing puts it well above the petrol variant, though only marginally over the hybrid model. Whether Land Rover brings this EV to the Middle East soon remains unconfirmed, but the global debut signals where the brand’s flagship SUV is headed next.
