Land Rover has unveiled the new Range Rover Sport Electric, a high-performance SUV featuring an 800-volt charging architecture and a 118.5-kilowatt-hour battery. While international markets prepare for the launch, the vehicle will not arrive in the United States for the 2027 model year.
Why it matters
The introduction of this electric powertrain expands the premium SUV market, though potential U.S. owners must wait for a projected 2028 release. Pricing is expected to sit below the $140,450 starting point of the larger Range Rover Electric.
The vehicle utilizes an 800-volt system to support 350-kilowatt fast charging, while the dual-motor setup delivers 542 horsepower and 627 pound-feet of torque. The SUV sits on a 118-inch wheelbase with a total length of 194.7 inches.
