By Land Rover has introduced the Range Rover Sport Electric, bringing a fully electric powertrain to one of its most popular luxury SUVs. The new model uses the same MLA architecture as the larger Range Rover Electric and features a 118.5 kWh battery, 800-volt electrical system and dual-motor all-wheel drive.
The Range Rover Sport Electric offers up to 378 miles (609 km) of WLTP range. It can also accept up to 350 kW of DC charging, with a 10% to 80% charge taking around 22 minutes under suitable conditions.

How Fast Does the Range Rover Sport Electric Charge?
The Range Rover Sport Electric supports DC fast charging at up to 350 kW. With a sufficiently powerful charging station, Land Rover says the battery can charge from 10% to 80% in approximately 22 minutes.
The SUV also supports AC charging at up to 22 kW. This gives owners another option for overnight charging and regular daily use.
How Much Range Does the Range Rover Sport Electric Have?
The Range Rover Sport Electric has a claimed 378-mile WLTP range from its 118.5 kWh battery.
That figure gives the Sport a slight range advantage over the larger Range Rover Electric, which has a claimed 373-mile WLTP range. The smaller dimensions and lower weight of the Sport contribute to the difference.
However, official range figures can vary with driving conditions, temperature, speed, wheel configuration and other factors.
Range Rover Sport Electric Performance
Land Rover has equipped the initial version with two electric motors. Each motor is rated at 349 horsepower, while the combined system produces 542 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque.
The all-wheel-drive SUV can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph in 4.3 seconds. That makes the electric Sport quicker than the larger Range Rover Electric and the range-topping petrol-powered Range Rover Sport SV based on the figures provided by Land Rover.
Land Rover had previously indicated that a 444 hp dual-motor version could also join the lineup. At launch, however, the 542 hp version is the model being offered.
Familiar Range Rover Sport Design
The electric model keeps the established Range Rover Sport design rather than adopting a completely new appearance.
The exterior closely follows the petrol-powered Sport, while the cabin also retains the luxury SUV’s familiar design approach. This gives the electric version a more conventional transition from combustion power to battery power.
The model measures 194.7 inches (4,946 mm) in length and uses a 118-inch (2,997 mm) wheelbase. It is 4.2 inches shorter than the larger Range Rover Electric.
Range Rover Sport Electric vs Lucid Gravity
The Range Rover Sport Electric enters a segment that includes the Lucid Gravity. The two SUVs offer similar dimensions but take different approaches to electric performance.
The Lucid Gravity has a claimed range of up to 450 miles and uses a 123 kWh battery. It can also accept charging rates of up to 400 kW. Depending on configuration, the Gravity can accommodate up to seven occupants.

The Range Rover Sport Electric offers a 378-mile WLTP range, 350 kW maximum DC charging and seating for five. Its dual-motor all-wheel-drive system also reflects Land Rover’s focus on combining electric performance with the brand’s established SUV capability.
Is the Range Rover Sport Electric Coming to the US?
Land Rover has confirmed that the Range Rover Sport Electric will not be offered in the United States as a 2027 model.
A company representative told InsideEVs that a U.S. launch could happen later, potentially for the 2028 model year. Land Rover has not confirmed a U.S. launch date at this stage.
The electric Sport will therefore initially target markets outside the United States while the company continues expanding its battery-electric Range Rover lineup.
Range Rover Sport Electric Price and Availability
Land Rover has not announced pricing for the Range Rover Sport Electric yet. The company is expected to position it below the larger Range Rover Electric, which starts at $140,450 in the United States.
The final price will depend on the market, equipment and available configurations. Land Rover has also not confirmed when U.S. customers could place orders for the electric Sport.
The Range Rover Sport Electric adds a new battery-powered option to Land Rover’s luxury SUV lineup without abandoning the design language that defines the model. Its 378-mile WLTP range, 350 kW charging capability and 542 hp dual-motor powertrain give it a strong set of headline specifications. Its eventual market availability and pricing will determine how it compares with other premium electric SUVs as Land Rover expands its EV portfolio.
