Range Rover has opened the wait list for its Range Rover Electric, marking the first stage in its modern luxury electrification journey. The British-designed vehicle will enhance its modern luxury credentials, offering towing, wading, and all-terrain technology that surpasses any other luxury electric SUV. Orders will open to clients in early 2021.
New Range Rover Electric prototypes are under rigorous engineering sign-off to confirm its capabilities in extreme temperatures, conditions, and terrains. Engineers aim to create the quietest and refined Range Rover ever with active road noise cancellation and sound design, and cabin comfort levels enabled by its electric underpinnings.
The 800 V architecture will enable rapid charging on public networks, and Range Rover will offer a seamless electric ownership experience with effortless charging, energy partnerships, software-over-the-air updates, and intelligent technology to maximize range. Range Rover Electric will be built in Solihull, UK, using Modular Longitudinal Architecture, alongside existing electric hybrid vehicles. A £70m underbody facility will open, with batteries and EDUs assembled at Wolverhampton. Geraldine Ingham, Managing Director, Range Rover said, “Marking a new era for the Range Rover brand: the original luxury SUV is now available as an all-electric model.”
