The first electric Range Rover<\/a> is expected to hit showrooms in the next few months. With its official debut just around the corner, Range Rover\u2019s first EV was spotted testing in Sweden. Here\u2019s a sneak peek of the luxury electric SUV.<\/p>\n

Range Rover is finally gearing up to introduce its first EV later this year. Earlier this year, JLR confirmed that the Range Rover Electric already has 57,000 buyers<\/a> on the waiting list.<\/p>\n

The company claims the new model \u201credefines\u201d the electric luxury SUV with an \u201cunrivalled driving experience.\u201d To prove it, Range Rover is putting its first EV through the paces in sub-zero conditions in Sweden.<\/p>\n

Range Rover\u2019s electric SUV has been through 45,000 miles of testing across frozen lakes and land tracks. The latest round allowed engineers to test their new thermal management system.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s new ThermAssist thermal management system reduces heat energy consumption by up to 40% and is designed to warm the propulsion system or cabin in temperatures as low as \u201110\u00b0C (14\u00b0F).<\/p>\n

Range Rover said it also helps optimize driving range while minimizing the impact of extreme temperatures on charging performance.<\/p>\n

Combined with an 800V battery, the first one built in-house by JLR, the company promises the best possible performance, with optimized energy density, range, and charging times. The Range Rover\u2019s first EV will be powered by a 117 kWh battery, consisting of 344 prismatic cells.<\/p>\n

Built for both on- and off-road performance, the electric SUV features new additions like single-pedal driving and a switchable twin-chamber air suspension system.<\/p>\n

Range Rover tested the single-pedal capabilities on both 28-degree and 17-degree split-mu inclines at its Arctic test facility.<\/p>\n

Matt Becker, Vehicle Engineering Director at JLR, explained that the electric SUV maintains the brand\u2019s signature driving experience \u201cby marrying all the essential Range Rover elements with new and advanced technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following its second season in Sweden<\/a>, Range Rover will continue testing prototypes ahead of the official launch later this year.<\/p>\n

After its first EV, Range Rover is already preparing another smaller electric SUV, which is expected to be the Sport model. In 2026, the company is expected to release a mid-sized electric SUV<\/a>, likely the Velar.<\/p>\n
