Range Rover Sport Electric Revealed at Goodwood Festival of Speed
The battery-electric SUV will arrive later this year with 542 hp and a starting price of about £100,000, Autocar said.
Over the weekend, a Range Rover Sport Electric prototype made its first public appearance at Goodwood Festival of Speed, marking the luxury brand's second EV following confirmation its flagship electric SUV launches by year-end.
The Sport will arrive later this year competing against BMW's iX5 and Porsche Cayenne Electric in an increasingly competitive midsize luxury EV SUV segment, with five distinct powertrains available by end of 2026.
Powered by dual-motor AWD, the Sport delivers 542 hp and 637 lb-ft of torque with a 118.5 kWh battery providing 380 miles on WLTP and 330 miles on EPA, starting at $135,000 in the UK—significantly less than the flagship's estimated $200,900.
Maintaining its Range Rover character, the Sport EV functions as another powertrain option with instant torque delivery and finer electronic motor control, eliminating traditional locking differentials and delivering smooth, capable off-road performance.
Questions persist over real-world range with towing and ride quality on harsh surfaces, while interior UI remains problematic despite the Sport's strong driving dynamics and lower center of gravity.
