The Most Important Range Rover EV Is Coming Sooner Than We Thought

Land Rover will launch an electric version of the Range Rover Sport, one of its best-selling SUVs.

Based on the same bones as the big Range Rover EV, the electric RRS will charge at up to 350 kW.

Air suspension, a pair of ultra-responsive electric motors, and over 300 miles of range complete the picture.

The Range Rover Sport, one of the brand’s most ubiquitous SUVs, is getting an all-electric version later this year. That said, the British marque has gone out of its way to make it as hard as possible to differentiate the gas model from the EV, as the nearly-finished electric prototypes look identical to the current model, save for the closed-off grille and lack of exhaust tips.

For what it’s worth, the current-generation Range Rover Sport is quite the looker, so it makes a lot of sense to go down the same route with the electric version. Design aside, though, it’s the underpinnings that matter now, and Land Rover has finally revealed many of the details that will help the battery-powered Range Rover Sport make a name for itself in the increasingly crowded electric SUV segment.
