The Range Rover Sport Electric completed its final tests at marble quarries in Carrara, Italy, an area lined with peaks at an altitude of approximately 900 meters, thereby proving its enhanced performance. The Range Rover Sport has a legacy of setting new records, including conquering the 4,300-meter Pikes Peak Hill Climb, ascending the 999 steps leading to China's 'Heaven's Gate,' and, for the first time ever, climbing the spillway of Iceland's Kárahnjúkar Dam.

The Sport Electric is equipped with advanced technologies such as a specially tuned Intelligent Traction Management System, Virtual All-Wheel Drive, Dynamic Air Suspension, and Dynamic Response Pro.These systems enable the vehicle to flawlessly handle unpredictable road surfaces, from smoothly polished marble to areas where fine marble dust is heavily accumulated.

In particular, the Range Rover Sport Electric delivers a maximum torque of 86.7 kg·m, the highest ever for the Range Rover Sport lineup. The torque rises 50% faster compared to the Range Rover Electric.

Furthermore, compared to the Plug-in Electric Hybrid (PHEV) model, its body structure is 61% more rigid and its center of gravity is lowered by 73mm. It is produced alongside the PHEV, gasoline, and diesel models on the same production line in Solihull, UK. The vehicle is fitted with a high-strength aluminum case housing a high-power-density 118.5kWh lithium-ion battery.

It can travel up to 609km per charge (WLTP standard). With a rapid DC charger, it can add up to 220km of driving range in just 10 minutes. The battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in about 22 minutes.

Martin Limpert, Managing Director of Range Rover, stated, “Before being an electric vehicle, this car is a Range Rover Sport first. Thanks to an organically integrated electric drive system, it delivers a new level of responsiveness and precision,” adding, “With its uniquely tuned chassis setup, performance-focused torque delivery, and distinctive driving sound, we have maximized the driving pleasure only a sporty luxury SUV can offer.”

The Range Rover Sport Electric is scheduled to launch in Korea in a single EV550 Autobiography trim. Orders will begin this month, and customer deliveries are set to commence sequentially from mid-2027.
