Range Rover Electric Bookings Open in India at Rs 10 Lakh Token

JLR opens Range Rover Electric bookings in India for a Rs 10 lakh token. The 118.5 kWh EV makes 550 PS, 850 Nm and a 600 km WLTP range.

JLR has opened bookings for the Range Rover Electric in India, with buyers able to reserve the SUV for a token amount of Rs 10 lakh. It is the first fully electric model in the Range Rover line-up, and the company will bring it into the country as a completely built unit (CBU) imported from its Solihull plant in the United Kingdom.

The launch price for India has not been announced. Estimates place the starting figure at around Rs 3.5 crore. In the United States, the Range Rover Electric is already on sale from $138,000, roughly Rs 1.30 crore.

Battery, power and range

The Range Rover Electric is built around a 118.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack made up of 344 prismatic cells. It feeds two electric motors, each rated at 260 kW (354 PS), for a combined output of 405 kW (550 PS). Both motors were developed and built in-house by the company.

Torque is rated at 850 Nm, the highest figure for any Range Rover to date. Measured against the ICE Range Rover fitted with the mild-hybrid 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, the electric version produces 12 hp and 100 Nm more. It covers 0 to 96 km/h (0-60 mph) in 4.3 seconds, quicker than the 4.5 seconds recorded by the V8 model.

Certified range is 600 km (372 miles) on the WLTP cycle. JLR's own EPA estimate puts real-world range at about 535 km (333 miles). The SUV uses an 800-volt electrical architecture that supports split-charging and DC fast charging of up to 350 kW. A 10 to 80 percent top-up takes 22 minutes, while a 10-minute charge adds around 220 km.

Off-road hardware

The electric powertrain has not replaced the model's off-road equipment. It carries twin-valve active dampers taken from the Range Rover Sport SV, along with dual-chamber air springs and rear-axle steering. Water wading capability is rated at 900 mm, helped by a setup that raises ride height automatically using sensors that track the water level.

The SUV also gets a new Integrated Traction Management (ITM) system for low-grip surfaces and an Intelligent Driveline Dynamics (IDD) system. It can handle inclines of up to 33 degrees and steep climbs of up to 45 degrees.

At 2,885 kg, the Range Rover Electric weighs 75 kg more than the plug-in hybrid version. Towing capacity is rated at 2.5 tonnes, below the 3.5 tonnes of the ICE model and the 3 tonnes of the PHEV.

Design and cabin

The exterior stays close to the fifth-generation ICE Range Rover launched in 2021. The changes are limited to a more modern grille and new alloy wheels, along with underbody revisions needed for an EV. Those tweaks cut the drag coefficient by 0.01 Cd, which the company says can add about 16 km of highway range.

The Range Rover Electric is offered in standard and long-wheelbase forms. Trim levels are SE, Autobiography, SV, SV Black and SV Ultra. A First Edition option is available in Belgravia Green, Santorini Black or Varesine Blue, paired with newly introduced Light Cloud Ultrafabrics PU and Kvadrat interior. Buyers can also choose from a range of Bespoke paint colours, finishes, materials and embroidery.

Inside, the layout mirrors the ICE model, with the same dashboard, steering wheel, centre console, drive mode selector and digital screens. EV-specific additions include an AI-based range predictor and a battery health monitor. Other equipment covers premium audio, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated and heated seats with a massage function, and multi-zone climate control.
