Jaguar Land Rover’s 2026–27 electrification programme covers a full suite of electric models. The Range Rover Sport Electric, featuring a 118.5 kWh battery and up to 550 hp, is slated for market launch by the end of 2026. 

In September 2026, Jaguar Land Rover officially unveiled the Range Rover Electric, marking the first fully electric model in the brand's 56-year history. Produced at the Solihull plant in the UK, the luxury SUV utilizes an 800-volt architecture and a 118.5 kWh lithium-ion battery. It supports DC fast charging of up to 350 kW, allowing a 10-80% charge in approximately 22 minutes, with 10 minutes of charging providing up to 220 km of range. The vehicle offers a claimed WLTP range of up to 600 km and an EPA-estimated range of approximately 333 to 536 km, with real-world driving expectations estimated around 535 km. 

Technical specifications for the rollout include a dual-motor permanent-magnet powertrain and a ThermAssist system designed to manage battery and cabin temperatures for improved efficiency. To maintain heritage, the SUV includes off-road capabilities such as a 900 mm wading depth and an advanced traction management system that reacts within 50 milliseconds. 

Further expanding the lineup, Jaguar Land Rover introduced the Range Rover EV550 HSE, which delivers up to 550 PS and 850 Nm of torque, achieving 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds. Additionally, the brand introduced the Land Rover Defender 110 D300 SE AWD, featuring a 3.0-liter six-cylinder mild-hybrid diesel engine.
