Reveal and Australian launch details
Range Rover has revealed the Range Rover Sport Electric, its second electric model, following the full-size Range Rover Electric. Chasing Cars reported the reveal on 29 September 2026, describing a vehicle that takes the 118.5kWh battery pack and 405kW dual-motor powertrain developed for the larger model and drops it into the more athletic Sport body. 1
In Australia, Chasing Cars reports the Sport Electric will reach showrooms from March 2027 in two grades: Dynamic HSE from $226,518 before on-road costs, and Autobiography from $249,518 plus on-roads. Man of Many, attending the international drive program, likewise lists Australian order books as open with first local deliveries expected from March. 14
JLR itself previewed the model at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2026, confirming only that the second EV would arrive with full details later in the year and that electric propulsion would complete the Sport powertrain line-up alongside plug-in hybrid, mild-hybrid V8 petrol and six-cylinder petrol and diesel options. At that stage Chasing Cars noted Australian pricing was yet to be confirmed. 759
Prices and grades across markets
The Independent reports UK order books are open for the Sport Electric in Dynamic SE (£109,810), Autobiography (£122,780) and First Edition (£126,290) trim, all carrying the EV550 badge. The entry price is £44,260 below the larger Range Rover Electric's £154,070 starting point, though the publication notes that gap narrows to £31,290 when like-for-like Autobiography trims are compared. 2
Autocar India reports JLR has also opened bookings in India, where four variants are offered — Dynamic SE, Dynamic HSE, Autobiography and First Edition — with an expected launch by March 2027 at around Rs 2.5 crore, a premium over the combustion Sport's Rs 1.43-1.60 crore range. Carscoops, by contrast, reports the model will not be offered in the United States for the 2027 model year. 38
Chasing Cars notes the Australian Sport Electric carries a $5000-$7600 premium over the 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol that closely matches it on performance, and slots in about $90,000 below the full-size Range Rover Electric. For context, the Porsche Cayenne Electric 490kW 'S' is listed by Chasing Cars at $193,100 before options (and at $186,719 drive-away in its earlier July coverage of the prototype debut). 15
Powertrain, performance and range
The Sport Electric uses the same 118.5kWh battery and twin 260kW permanent-magnet motors as the Range Rover Electric, producing 405kW/850Nm combined. Chasing Cars reports a claimed 0-100km/h sprint of 4.5 seconds and a 200km/h top speed, figures that match the larger EV, while Sport-specific software ramps torque 50 per cent faster. Man of Many quotes the output as 404kW (550PS), and The Independent and Wired give 0-60mph in 4.3 seconds with Dynamic Launch Mode engaged — matching the V8-powered P540 Sport. 1426
Chasing Cars reports a European WLTP range rating of up to 609km against a manufacturer real-world claim of 535km, equating to 19.4-22.1kWh/100km. Man of Many quotes the same 600km test-cycle figure (cited as NEDC combined) and the same 535km manufacturer estimate. The Independent gives the UK maximum claimed range as 374 miles WLTP, with Range Rover separately quoting up to 333 miles from its own standardised-route testing. 142
The 800-volt architecture operates with 400V and 800V DC charging infrastructure at peak rates of 250kW and 350kW respectively, with a 10-80 per cent charge taking 22 minutes, as reported by Chasing Cars. Man of Many additionally lists a 22kW three-phase AC onboard charger, while Autocar India and Man of Many both state a 10-minute charge can add up to 220km of range. Chasing Cars notes towing capacity of 2500kg. 143
Chassis, handling and off-road hardware
Compared with the P460e plug-in hybrid Sport, Land Rover says the EV has a body structure 61 per cent stiffer and a centre of gravity 73mm lower. Chasing Cars reports Sport-specific tuning of the dual-chamber air suspension and the addition of Dynamic Response Pro electronic active anti-roll control, capable of applying 1400Nm of anti-roll torque at each axle — hardware the larger Range Rover Electric does not carry. Rear-wheel steering of up to 7.3 degrees shrinks the turning circle below 11 metres. 1
Vehicle engineering director Matt Becker said the combination makes the 2770kg SUV feel "smaller, more planted, and more responsive than you would imagine". Chasing Cars notes that weight is just 29kg above the six-cylinder plug-in hybrid but nearly 200kg above the non-hybrid P530 V8. Wired and Carscoops also cite an adaptive dynamics system monitoring 100 parameters 500 times a second to control body roll and pitch. 168
Off-road capability is retained: Chasing Cars reports the 900mm wading depth, Terrain Response 2 and temporary air-suspension lift carry over, though a final ground clearance figure had not been given. JLR's Goodwood prototype runs in July 2026 included obstacle-course demonstrations, and The Independent's reporter drove a prototype through tight turns, gravel, steps and an aircraft fuselage, noting the four-wheel steering's precision and the suspension's composure off-road. 172
Equipment, design and warranty
Chasing Cars reports grade-by-grade Australian specifications are still awaited but expects the walk to mirror the existing line-up: the Dynamic HSE-based entry grade likely gaining semi-aniline leather, 20-way heated and ventilated front seats, soft-close doors, a 13-inch touchscreen with wireless CarPlay/Android Auto and wireless charging, while the roughly $23,000 dearer Autobiography is expected to add massaging seats with winged headrests, a glass roof, quad-zone climate, cooled rear seats and illuminated treadplates. Autocar India lists a 13.1-inch touchscreen and 13.7-inch driver display with EV-specific menus. 13
Visually the EV stays close to the combustion Sport, differing mainly in an aero-optimised grille, flush door handles and bespoke 21-inch or 22-inch wheels; Man of Many cites a 0.29 drag coefficient, and Wired notes the aero changes are claimed to add up to 10 miles of range at motorway speeds. The Independent reports Range Rover engineers have developed dedicated sound profiles for the Sport's driving modes. 462
Battery coverage is quoted at eight years or 100,000 miles in The Independent's UK report, while Autocar India specifies eight years or 160,000km for that market. The model is built at Solihull on the same lines as the combustion and plug-in hybrid Sports, and Chasing Cars confirms the existing petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid Sport options continue unchanged alongside the EV. 231
