It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally got a glimpse of the new electric Range Rover, and I reckon it’s going to be a game-changer. So, after what felt like an endless wait, here’s the lowdown on what we know so far.

A November 2025 Reveal and 2026 Deliveries

 

We now know when we’ll get our first proper look at the car: November 2025. The company’s own finance director, Richard Molyneux, let that slip, so you know it’s official. While the first few cars might make it to some lucky buyers before the end of 2025, the majority of deliveries will be starting in 2026.

The interesting thing is that a delay from its original launch date hasn’t put people off one bit. In fact, it’s had the opposite effect. The waiting list is already huge, with over 62,000 people having expressed their interest. That’s an incredible amount of demand for a car that people still don’t know the exact price or performance figures for.

Engineered for Extremes

 

 

Don’t let the ‘electric’ part fool you into thinking this is just a fancy car for the city. JLR has been putting it through what they’re calling their most intensive testing programme ever. The prototypes have been tackling everything from -40°C in the Arctic to punishing desert heat, proving that this car is built to handle the most brutal conditions.

The engineering team has given it a dual-motor, four-wheel-drive setup with batteries and motors developed in-house. It’s got a sophisticated thermal management system to make sure the battery performs at its best, even in extreme temperatures. The engineers say the electric motor is already outperforming the petrol models, especially on slippery surfaces, thanks to the instant torque and lightning-fast traction control.

While we’re still waiting on key details like the official range and charging speeds, the whispers are that it will have a massive 118kWh battery pack and use an 800V architecture, which means seriously fast charging.

“All Range Rover. All Electric.”

 

 

This slogan is a big clue to the car’s philosophy. It’s a statement that the new model isn’t some drastic new design. The team’s research showed that customers want the all-electric version to be, first and foremost, a true Range Rover. It’s about keeping the iconic look and feel while simply changing the way it’s powered.

It’s likely we’ll see all the usual models, from the standard version to the luxurious Autobiography and SV trims, get the electric treatment. This means you can expect the same high-end interior, materials, and features that make the Range Rover so special.

UK-Built with a Prestige Heritage

 

A big point of pride for the brand is that the new electric Range Rover will be built right here in the UK at the Solihull factory. This is the same plant that has been building Range Rovers for decades. They’ve invested heavily to prepare the facility for EV production, so it’s a great example of British manufacturing moving into the future.

What Comes Next?

 

Keep an eye out for a few things heading our way soon:

  • The full global launch, where they’ll finally tell us about the battery size, charging speeds, official range figures and what trim levels we can expect.
  • UK pricing details, plus how it’ll work with leasing, PCP deals, and other finance options for 2026 handovers.
  • A live configurator so you can build your dream version and get your name on a dealer list.
  • Road tests stacking it up against the BMW iX, Mercedes EQS SUV, Tesla Model X, and Porsche Cayenne Electric when that drops.

For now, it’s still in the final stages of testing and pre-launch hype. But with production at Solihull ramping up and order books likely to open by the end of the year, we’re not far off from seeing what this all-electric Range Rover is really made of. Should be an interesting one.
