InsideEVs tests the electric flagship as JLR advances its electrified model lineup.
InsideEVs published an extensive first drive review of the Range Rover Electric, testing the vehicle in demanding off-road conditions as Jaguar Land Rover positions its flagship model against luxury electric competitors.
What Happened
The review evaluated the Range Rover Electric's capabilities with particular focus on its performance during off-road driving scenarios. The vehicle carries a base price around $138,000 according to the publication's reporting. JLR has emphasized that the electric Range Rover maintains the brand's traditional off-road heritage while delivering instant torque delivery expected from electric propulsion.
Why It Matters
The Range Rover Electric represents JLR's most significant step into the premium EV segment, targeting buyers who want both luxury and genuine off-road capability without compromising on sustainability. The high price point positions it against electric alternatives from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Lotus in the full-size luxury EV market.
The Bottom Line
The Range Rover Electric brings battery-electric propulsion to JLR's most iconic nameplate, combining the model's established off-road credentials with electric vehicle technology at a premium price tier.
