2027 Range Rover Sport Electric: 542-HP Sporty EV With Up to 609 km Range

The Range Rover Sport Electric is the first fully electric version of Land Rover's performance SUV, unveiled in late September 2026 and the second battery-electric Range Rover after the flagship Range Rover Electric. It is built in Solihull, UK, on the same production lines as the plug-in hybrid, petrol and diesel Sports, and it looks almost identical to them apart from an aerodynamic grille, unique alloy wheels and the absence of exhausts. Two 260 kW electric motors provide up to 405 kW (550 PS / 542 hp) and 850 Nm (627 lb-ft) of torque, the most of any Range Rover Sport, and Land Rover says the 0-60 mph time of 4.3 seconds (0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds) in Dynamic Launch Mode matches the V8-powered Sport. A 118.5 kWh battery on an 800-volt architecture delivers up to 609 km (378 miles) of WLTP range, and on a 350 kW rapid charger it can go from 10-80% in about 22 minutes. Pricing starts at £109,810 in the UK for the Dynamic SE (about $145,200), A$226,518 before on-road costs in Australia for the Dynamic HSE (about $158,400), and €120,400 in Germany for the lower-output EV450 (about $136,500), converted at 30 September 2026 rates. Orders are open now, with first deliveries in early 2027, and Land Rover has confirmed the car will not be sold in the United States for the 2027 model year.

Performance & Specs

The top-spec EV550 powertrain pairs a front and a rear electric motor, each rated at 260 kW by Land Rover, for a combined output of up to 405 kW (550 PS, about 542 hp) and 850 Nm of torque. Land Rover states 0-60 mph in as little as 4.3 seconds in Dynamic Launch Mode, which its European materials translate to 4.5 seconds for 0-100 km/h, and independent outlets report an electronically limited top speed of 200 km/h (124 mph). Torque ramps up 50% faster than in the larger Range Rover Electric, thanks to Sport-specific software tuning, and the all-wheel-drive system is "virtual", with no transfer case, using Intelligent Traction Management to split torque between the axles and across each axle. Land Rover also developed a lower-output EV450 version rated at 331 kW (450 PS / 444 hp), with 0-100 km/h in roughly 5.4 to 5.6 seconds depending on the source, which is offered in continental Europe but was not planned for the UK at launch. The Sport Electric weighs from 2,770 kg, roughly 285 kg more than the V8 Sport, but the battery sits low between the axles: the body structure is 61% stiffer and the centre of gravity 73 mm lower than on the plug-in hybrid Sport. On 550 PS cars, Dynamic Response Pro is standard and combines electronic Active Roll Control, which can apply up to 1,400 Nm of force across each axle, with All-Wheel Steering that turns the rear wheels by up to 7.3 degrees, and Twin Valve Dampers with Adaptive Dynamics sample 100 parameters 500 times per second to control roll and pitch.

Width	2,047 mm (2,209 mm with mirrors)
Height	1,820 mm
Wheelbase	2,997 mm
Ground clearance	Not published for Electric

The Sport Electric is built on the existing Range Rover Sport body and shares its production lines in Solihull, so its exterior footprint matches the current combustion and plug-in hybrid models: 4,946 mm long, 2,047 mm wide with the mirrors folded (2,209 mm with them out), 1,820 mm tall on a 2,997 mm wheelbase, according to Land Rover UK's technical specification for the current Range Rover Sport. Land Rover has not yet published an Electric-specific loadspace figure or ground clearance, and no front trunk has been announced, so the current Range Rover Sport's official 647 litres behind the second row (1,491 litres to the front seats, VDA dry) should be read as a reference rather than a confirmed EV number. Rear-wheel steering brings the turning circle to under 11 metres, which is notable for a five-seat SUV of this length. Wading depth stays at 900 mm and the car can climb 45-degree inclines, figures Land Rover kept from the combustion Sport despite the large under-floor battery, while launch coverage reports a towing capacity of 2,500 kg, below the 3,000 kg of the plug-in hybrid Sport and the 3,500 kg of combustion models in Land Rover UK's current specification.

Charging & Battery

The 118.5 kWh battery is a lithium-ion pack in a high-strength aluminium enclosure, and it runs on an 800-volt electrical system with split-charging technology for fast, adaptable charging. Land Rover quotes its fast-charging figures on a 350 kW rapid DC charger: up to 136 miles (220 km) of range in as little as 10 minutes, and 10-80% in around 22 minutes. Land Rover's Sport Electric release does not separately publish the car's own peak DC rate, so those times are best read as a best case at a 350 kW unit; independent outlets cite up to 350 kW for the EV550, and one German report lists the EV450 at 325 kW. At home, Land Rover's UK site lists a 0-100% charge in about 7 hours on a 22 kW AC charger (19 hours on 7 kW), and a new optional Range Rover home charger is available. The official WLTP range is up to 378 miles (609 km) and a real-world estimate, based on a production car over a standardised route, is up to 333 miles (535 km); those figures work out to roughly 19.5 and 22.1 kWh/100 km battery-to-wheel. The aero-optimised grille and wheels are credited with adding up to 10 extra miles at motorway speeds, ThermAssist heat management helps efficiency, and the battery comes with an eight-year or 100,000-mile warranty, with the exact cover varying by market.

Design & Interior

Land Rover kept the Sport's muscular silhouette and deliberately did not restyle it for the electric age, so the changes are limited to an aerodynamically optimised grille with a closed-off lower section, unique alloy wheel designs with EV centre caps, and no exhaust tips. The curated First Edition is finished in Zadar Grey with a Satin Wrap, a black contrast roof and 22-inch alloy wheels, while an optional Black Pack and Satin Wrap add a stealthier look. Inside, the cabin carries over the current Range Rover Sport layout: a large floating touchscreen and a 12.3-inch Interactive Driver Display sit above a slim centre console with the gear selector and a start button. According to CarExpert's Australian specification, the Dynamic HSE adds leather seats, a panoramic sunroof, a 13.1-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a Meridian 3D audio system, while the Autobiography gets digital LED headlights, SV Bespoke leather and 22-way adjustable heated, ventilated and massaging seats with winged headrests. Autobiography buyers are also eligible for the Range Rover Bespoke commissioning service, which offers near-limitless paint colours, material finishes and embroidery. Land Rover's engineers also developed a bespoke sound design that layers simple tones to emphasise the different drive modes, rather than imitating a combustion engine.

Technology & Features

Land Rover's launch message is that the Sport Electric is tuned for the driver: the chassis engineers describe it as smaller, more planted and more responsive than its size suggests, and Vehicle Engineering Director Matt Becker says the stiffer architecture and lower centre of gravity give it sharper responses without losing refinement. The car was developed in parallel with the Range Rover Electric and shares its ThermAssist heat management and battery technology, and a Battery Digital Twin lets Land Rover maintain the pack proactively over the air through its Software Over the Air capability. New Range Rover app charging functions let owners locate and schedule charging sessions, and the Pivi Pro infotainment system, optional Online Pack with Wi-Fi hotspot and embedded apps, and optional head-up display are available across the Range Rover Sport range. The final test of the development programme was a peak-to-peak run through the Carrara marble quarries in Italy, on gradients of up to 45 degrees and polished stone covered in marble dust, and the car also spent time at the Magarigawa Club's private track near Tokyo. Land Rover says the Sport Electric matches the V8 Sport off the line, and programme chief Simon Fairbrother told Auto Express that in-gear acceleration from 50 to 75 mph is more than comparable with the V8 when going for gaps to pass slower traffic.

Safety & ADAS

Land Rover says the Range Rover Sport Electric is built to withstand high impacts and that its advanced safety features exceed industry standards, and it has developed a new battery testing laboratory that subjects live batteries to multi-axis vibration and shock testing between minus 40 and plus 90 degrees Celsius. The Range Rover Sport range offers a 3D Surround Camera with ClearSight Ground View, which lets the driver see under the bonnet at low speed, an optional ClearSight interior rear-view mirror, and manoeuvring lights that illuminate the ground around the car. Land Rover has not itemised the electric model's driver-assistance suite or published a crash-test rating yet, so buyers should confirm the exact standard ADAS content with their local retailer once specifications are finalised in each market.

ADAS LEVEL	Not itemised by Land Rover for the Electric at launch
ADAS FEATURES	3D Surround Camera with ClearSight Ground View, ClearSight rear-view mirror (optional), head-up display (optional), All-Wheel Steering, Electronic Active Roll Control

Pricing & Availability

UK pricing starts at £109,810 for the Dynamic SE, with the Autobiography at £122,780 and the First Edition at £126,290, converting to roughly $145,200, $162,400 and $167,000 at £1 = $1.3224 on 30 September 2026. Those UK figures are about £44,000 below the £154,070 entry price of the larger Range Rover Electric, which shares the same 118.5 kWh battery and 405 kW output. In Australia, the Dynamic HSE costs A$226,518 and the Autobiography A$249,518 before on-road costs (about $158,400 and $174,500 at A$1 = $0.6995), with deliveries from March 2027; in Germany, the lower-output EV450 starts at €120,400 (about $136,500 at €1 = $1.1339). Land Rover has said orders are open now in the UK, with first deliveries in early 2027, and the all-electric Sport is not planned for the United States for the 2027 model year, with a company representative telling InsideEVs it may come later. Prices in each market include local taxes differently, so the US-dollar figures are conversions for comparison only.

How It Compares

The closest relative is the Range Rover Electric, which we cover separately: it has the same 542 hp, the same 118.5 kWh battery and 850 Nm, but a larger body, a slightly shorter 600 km WLTP range and a UK price about £44,000 higher, while the Sport adds the faster torque response and a lower centre of gravity. The 2026 Cadillac Escalade IQ is a different kind of car, a three-row full-size electric SUV with 680 hp and 748 km of EPA range from a 205 kWh pack, and costs about $14,900 less than the Sport's converted UK price; the EPA and WLTP cycles are not directly comparable, and the Cadillac has none of the Range Rover's off-road wading and gradient claims. The Lotus Eletre in our catalog offers 905 hp and 560 km of range at $151,697 in China-market pricing, far more power for a similar price, but it is a road-focused performance SUV without the Range Rover's off-road claims. The Sport Electric's case is therefore not raw specifications: it matches the V8 Sport's acceleration, gets more than 600 km of WLTP range, and costs far less than the flagship Range Rover Electric.
