JLR opened UK order books on 2 September for the first battery-electric Range Rover. The manufacturer’s own release prices it from £154,070 on-the-road and puts two 260 kW permanent-magnet motors on a usable 118.5 kWh double-stack pack (344 prismatic cells, 800-volt architecture). Combined output is up to 550 PS and 850 Nm; WLTP range is up to 372 miles. A separate JLR real-world figure is up to 333 miles (535 km) on a standardised route — that is not an EPA label, and we are not treating it as one. On a 350 kW DC post the car is quoted at about 22 minutes from 10 to 80 percent, or 220 km in 10 minutes at the peak rate. Autocar independently restated the £154,070 floor, the 372-mile WLTP claim, and 542 bhp / 627 lb ft the same day. EV Powered printed the same UK opener and a long-wheelbase SV Black at £225,240. Electrek reported a US SE from $140,450; that dollar sticker is not on JLR’s corporate page, so it stays labelled as Electrek’s figure.
GetEVCar already lists this car as a BEV, not a plug-in. The live Range Rover Electric under Land Rover shows 117 kWh, 530 km, 404 kW and 350 kW DC, with the United Kingdom row still marked Announced — not yet flipped to orders-open, and 1.5 kWh under JLR’s usable pack. The Range Rover Sport Electric sibling is the closer battery match on this site (118.5 kWh, 530 km, also UK Announced). Shoppers who still want a plug should stay on the PHEV catalogue: the current flagship is the Range Rover P460e (31.8 kWh, 119 km electric, 7 kW AC and 50 kW DC, US and UK Available). The Sport P460e is the same pack and 118 km electric, also US+UK. Those are plug-in hybrids. The new orderable car is not.
The UK luxury BEV SUV already on dealer availability here is the Porsche Cayenne Electric (113 kWh, 642 km, 400 kW DC, UK Available) on the Porsche brand page. JLR says Range Rover Electric is built at Solihull on the same flexible architecture as the mild-hybrid, plug-in hybrid and combustion cars, with motors and packs from the Wolverhampton Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre. North American cars get a native NACS port for Tesla Superchargers; that does not, by itself, put a US dealer flag on our live Electric page, which still shows UK only. For US shoppers on this site today, the Range Rover you can actually compare as available is the P460e plug-in, not the new BEV.
What we are not claiming: an official EPA range, a JLR-published US MSRP, UAE availability, or that this is a plug-in hybrid. Autocar’s 120 kWh pack figure is not the number JLR printed (118.5 kWh usable); we keep the manufacturer’s usable capacity. Polestar’s new Polestar 4 SUV (Electrek, from €57,900 in Germany, 100 kWh) maps to the existing coupe page, not a new listing — logged. Hyundai’s IONIQ 3 order story restates the UK ladder already published in August. BYD’s Sealion 08 China launch and Changan’s UK Deepal S05 plug-in hybrid sit outside, or only loosely beside, current coverage. Tesla’s Cybercab Austin event is later today; Reuters on 2 September still described it as forthcoming, so it is not this post.
