Edging further into electrification

News and General

Range Rover has confirmed the arrival of its second EV, Range Rover Sport Electric.

Following on from the Range Rover Electric, Range Rover Sport features the same unmistakable, muscular form – now driven by a fully electric powertrain to deliver effortless, visceral performance.

The Range Rover Sport Electric was shown at this month’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, UK. It tackled a series of driven challenges on the Goodwood Motor Circuit.

Range Roversays the Sport Electric "integrates a suite of advanced technologies that unleash more power and torque, amplified by an advanced new chassis tune and audio sound."

Range Rover Managing Director Martin Limpert says electric power brings a new edge to Range Rover Sport.

“The preview at Goodwood Festival of Speed is only a glimpse of how this model will redefine performance SUVs again later this year, combining the refinement and immediate performance of electric drive while further elevating the unmistakable character of Range Rover Sport.”

The arrival of pure-electric propulsion later this year will complete the diverse powertrain line-up for Range Rover Sport, joining the plug-in electric hybrid, mild-hybrid V8 petrol and six-cylinder petrol and diesel.
