British luxury EV rollouts 2026‑27
Entities: Martin Limpert · Land Rover · Porsche Cayenne Electric · Range Rover Sport Electric · BMW iX5
Overview
Jaguar Land Rover’s 2026‑27 electrification program now includes confirmed details for the fully electric Range Rover Sport. The prototype, unveiled in July, retains the classic Sport silhouette but drops the exhaust tailpipe and adopts a closed grille. Powered by dual electric motors delivering between 444 hp and 542 hp and 850 Nm of torque, it uses a 117‑118.5 kWh battery capable of 350 kW DC fast charging and is projected to achieve about 530 km (330 mi) EPA range, with WLTP figures expected to be higher. Chief executive Martin Limpert highlighted advanced torque‑optimising technology and a chassis tuned for dynamic driving while preserving luxury. The model is positioned against upcoming high‑end electric SUVs such as the BMW iX5, Porsche Cayenne Electric and Volvo EX90, and is slated for market launch before the end of 2026, with a public debut expected in early 2027. These announcements build on the earlier Range Rover GT rollout, underscoring JLR’s broader shift toward fully electrified luxury vehicles across its flagship SUV line.
