By Land Rover plans to expand its electric lineup with the upcoming Range Rover Sport Electric. The luxury SUV will follow the Range Rover Electric as the brand continues its transition toward battery powered vehicles. Early reports suggest the new model could arrive around 2026 with strong performance, advanced off road capability, and an estimated driving range of about 275 miles under EPA testing.
The electric model will build on the third generation Range Rover Sport introduced in 2022. That version already offers hybrid options, but the new variant will move to a fully electric powertrain. The upcoming model aims to combine the brand’s traditional luxury and off road capability with modern electric technology.
Design, Performance and Range Details
The Range Rover Sport Electric will likely keep the clean and modern design of the current model. Land Rover already designed the SUV with strong aerodynamic efficiency in mind. Features such as flush door handles, smooth body lines, and hidden trim elements help reduce drag. A large rear spoiler and a carefully shaped underbody also improve airflow.
These design changes helped the current Range Rover Sport achieve a drag coefficient of about 0.29, which is roughly 15 percent better than the previous generation. The electric version may introduce small visual updates such as new wheels, EV specific body accents, and a redesigned grille. The model may also include a powered charging port door that drivers can open through a button, voice command, or key fob.
Inside the cabin, the electric model will likely remain very similar to the current Range Rover Sport. However, Land Rover may introduce additional sustainable materials and unique trim options. The SUV should retain the 13.7 inch digital driver display and the Pivi Pro infotainment system. These systems may show electric powertrain information and battery related data.
Performance will likely be one of the highlights of the Range Rover Sport Electric. Reports suggest the SUV may use a dual motor setup with one motor at the rear and another at the front. The top version could produce around 540 horsepower and about 625 pound feet of torque. With this configuration, the SUV may accelerate from zero to 60 miles per hour in less than 3.5 seconds.
Land Rover may also equip the electric SUV with an Intelligent Torque Management system. This system can distribute power between the motors almost instantly, which improves traction and stability on rough terrain. Electric powertrains also help during off road driving because they deliver instant torque and allow precise low speed control.
The Range Rover Sport Electric may use a battery pack with roughly 105 kilowatt hours of capacity. This battery could deliver an estimated driving range between 270 and 280 miles under EPA testing conditions. The SUV may also feature an 800 volt electrical system that supports fast charging speeds of up to 350 kilowatts.

Under suitable conditions, the battery may charge from 10 percent to 80 percent in about 20 minutes. Jaguar Land Rover plans to build the electric SUV at its Solihull facility in the United Kingdom, where several Range Rover models are currently produced.
Pricing has not been officially confirmed, but early estimates suggest the Range Rover Sport Electric may start at around 100000 dollars in the United States. Land Rover may reveal more details about the model during upcoming investor events in 2026 as the company continues expanding its electric vehicle strategy.
