Внедорожник получил батарею более 100 кВт·ч для серьёзной проходимости, запас хода превышает 500 км. Цена от $100 000, старт продаж в следующем году.
Within months, the first electric Range Rover will hit the market, and Land Rover has equipped it with a massive battery for serious off-road endurance. The flagship model, previewed earlier this decade as the Velar-sized prototype, is now undergoing final cold-weather testing before its official debut. According to insiders, the battery pack exceeds 100 kWh, ensuring that the electric SUV can tackle trails and long journeys without frequent stops for charging. speedme.ru.
The electric Range Rover will ride on a modified version of the flexible MLA platform, which already accommodates plug-in hybrid powertrains. Engineers focused on preserving traditional Land Rover attributes like seating height and rugged chassis, with the heavy battery integrated into the floor to keep the vehicle's handling predictable even on rough terrain. Expected range estimates hint at over 500 km per charge in mild climates, although official figures may vary in severe cold due to thermal constraints.
During the publicity campaign, Land Rover emphasized that off-road routing and energy management remain top priorities: the electric all-wheel-drive system features independent motors for instant torque control, helping maintain traction on slippery surfaces. Furthermore, the capacity for wading conditions has been preserved through careful sealing of electrical components. Some prototypes towing massive loads were spotted during final tests to verify the powertrain's robustness under thermal stress and extended hills climbs.
Land Rover's management intends to price the electric Range Rover from around $100,000 in major markets, targeting customers who demand both electric running costs and the brand's authentic rough-track capability. Disclosed construction techniques involve aluminum-intensive body to offset the battery weight. Full specifications and final price are planned to be released before summer, before deliveries start in the upcoming calendar year.
