The all-electric Range Rover<\/a> is almost here. Although the brand admits it\u2019s been challenging, Range Rover\u2019s first EV will be a \u201ctrue Range Rover\u201d with unrivaled capability and luxury as reservations top 42,000.<\/p>\n

Range Rover\u2019s first EV sees reservations climb<\/h2>\n

Range Rover gave us a sneak peek at the electric SUV in April after revealing the first images<\/a> of it during cold-weather testing.<\/p>\n

The blacked-out prototype is unmistakenly a Range Rover, with its timeless design slightly updated for the modern era. In February, JLR claimed the Range Rover EV was \u201cgenerating strong interest\u201d as the waitlist<\/a> topped 16,000.<\/p>\n

During its Investor Day in June, the company said reservations more than doubled<\/a>, reaching over 38,000. It\u2019s also gaining interest on social media, with over 186 million views.<\/p>\n

Two months later, we are learning that interest in Range Rover\u2019s EV continues building. Reservations are now over 42,000, and none of them have seen the full model yet.<\/p>\n

Speaking with MotorTrend<\/a><\/em>, JLR\u2019s COO, Lennard Hoonik, assured the first electric Range Rover will stay true to its roots.\u201dThe electric Range Rover has to be a Range Rover first,\u201d Hoonik explained.<\/p>\n

JLR\u2019s COO added that the EV will have the \u201cdriving sensations\u201d that make Range Rover what it is. \u201cEven if you have your eyes closed, it shouldn\u2019t matter if it\u2019s a V-8 or an EV or an I-6. It must be a true Range Rover.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although he said it wasn\u2019t easy, the electric SUV must have the same capabilities as current vehicles.<\/p>\n

Range Rover claims its in-house propulsion system enables the brand to \u201cexceed its already renowned performance on low-grip surfaces, ensuring all-terrain, all-weather, and all-surface capability.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Range Rover EV also includes a new traction control system, a brand first. Range Rover is testing the model in extreme conditions ahead of its expected debut later this year.<\/p>\n

Range Rover said the electric SUV can wade through 33.8\u2033 (850 mm) of water. If true, it would top the GMC Hummer EV<\/a> at 32\u2033. Check back for more details on Range Rover\u2019s first EV as it gets closer to launch.<\/p>\n
