Alongside the opening of the waitlist, Land Rover has begun its prototype testing process to refine its new electric vehicle. The Range Rover Electric is slated to have performance comparable to a Range Rover V8 but with the quiet and efficiency that comes with an electric motor. The vehicle will feature an 800V architecture that will allow it to charge up on all public charging networks, which in turn will preserve the cabin’s variety of luxury features that Range Rovers are known for.
“We are on target to create the quietest and most refined Range Rover ever created,” writes JLR’s Executive Director of Product Engineering, Thomas Müller. “The magic ingredients that underpin the success of Range Rover remain unchanged: timeless, reductionist design, a serene cabin, and go-anywhere capability — but now offered with zero tailpipe emissions.”
“And as repeated throughout history, the Range Rover will continue to set the standard. The first of its type. An electric luxury SUV that can deliver on the Range Rover promise. A true global luxury product, as yet unseen in the industry.”
Those interested in being notified of the latest developments of the Range Rover Electric can unite the waitlist on the Range Rover website.
