Land Rover has officially pulled the wraps off the Range Rover Electric, confirming U.S. pricing starting at $138,000 and an EPA-estimated range of up to 333 miles, according to Land Rover’s own newsroom. Orders opened September 2, 2026, after a program that was pushed back multiple times from its original target date, according to Electrek’s reporting on the delay.

Key Points

  • U.S. pricing starts at $138,000 before destination, with higher First Edition and SV-level trims above that, per Land Rover.
  • EPA-estimated range tops out at 333 miles, with a WLTP figure of up to 372 miles cited in Land Rover’s global release.
  • Twin 260kW permanent-magnet motors combine for 542 horsepower and 627 lb-ft of torque, good for a 4.3-second 0-60 mph run, Land Rover says.
  • The 118.5kWh battery rides on 800-volt architecture with 344 prismatic cells, according to the automaker.

What’s Confirmed

Land Rover says the electric Range Rover’s 350kW DC fast-charging can take the battery from 10-80% in roughly 22 minutes, and a 10-minute top-up adds about 125 miles under EPA testing, per the automaker. North American models get a built-in NACS port for direct access to Tesla’s Supercharger network — no adapter required. Land Rover is also backing the electric drivetrain with an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty on the battery and propulsion system.

Off-road capability, long the Range Rover’s calling card, hasn’t been sacrificed for the battery pack. The automaker says the electric SUV can wade through 35.4 inches of water — matching the gas-powered version — and its single-pedal driving mode is tuned to help the truck crawl down inclines as steep as 45 degrees without the driver touching the brake.

Managing Director Martin Limpert said in the company’s own release that “Range Rover Electric is the result of a decade of considered engineering and technological development,” adding that “electric propulsion is perfectly suited to the exquisite refinement of Range Rover,” according to Land Rover’s statement. The company says the vehicle has logged more than 1.5 million kilometers of real-world testing and over 250,000 hours of virtual validation.

Why It Took So Long

Land Rover first signaled an electric Range Rover years ago, but the program slipped repeatedly — including a delay that pushed the debut into 2026, as Electrek reported in mid-2025. That extra development time appears to have gone toward matching, rather than compromising, the gas V8 model’s capability numbers, which is precisely the bar Land Rover needed to clear to sell die-hard Range Rover buyers on going electric.

With orders now open and deliveries expected to follow, the Range Rover Electric becomes the clearest test yet of whether ultra-luxury SUV buyers will actually trade a V8 for a battery pack — at a price that undercuts nothing about the vehicle’s positioning at the top of the lineup.
