JLR has previewed the all-new Range Rover Sport Electric at the Goodwood Festival of Speed ahead of its global launch in September 2026. The luxury electric SUV is expected to arrive in India by March 2027 and will become the brand’s second all-electric model after the flagship Range Rover Electric.
The new Range Rover Sport Electric closely resembles its petrol and diesel counterparts while introducing an all-electric powertrain, premium technology and improved driving dynamics.
Electric Powertrain Delivers Strong Performance
The Range Rover Sport Electric is built on JLR’s MLA platform, which was designed to support electrified powertrains from the beginning.
Power comes from a large 118.5 KWH battery pack paired with two in-house developed electric motors. Together, they produce 550 HP while delivering power to all four wheels through an all-wheel-drive system.
Despite weighing around 2,700 KG, the SUV promises strong acceleration along with refined performance.
Regenerative Braking Enhances Efficiency
JLR has equipped the Sport Electric with an advanced regenerative braking system to improve efficiency.
Drivers can choose between Light and Standard regenerative braking modes through the central touchscreen. Additionally, the SUV offers a Single Pedal mode in Sport mode, making city driving and off-road manoeuvres more convenient.
Exterior Design Remains Familiar
The Range Rover Sport Electric retains the clean and elegant styling of the standard model.
However, the electric version receives a closed front grille, unique EV badging and aerodynamically optimised alloy wheels. Apart from these subtle updates, the overall design remains almost identical to the combustion-powered SUV.
As a result, the Sport Electric maintains the premium appearance that defines the Range Rover lineup.
Interior Continues With A Premium Cabin
Inside, the Range Rover Sport Electric shares its cabin with the standard model.
The SUV offers a technology-rich interior featuring premium materials, a large touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster and multiple luxury comfort features.
Furthermore, the familiar cabin layout ensures existing Range Rover customers will feel immediately at home.
Ride Quality Receives Further Improvements
According to JLR, the electric version not only matches the capabilities of the standard Sport but also improves them.
Early driving impressions suggest the Sport Electric delivers an exceptionally smooth ride while maintaining brisk acceleration. Moreover, the Single Pedal driving mode proves especially useful during off-road driving.
Although slight torque steer can be felt under hard acceleration, the overall driving experience remains refined and confidence-inspiring.
India Launch Timeline
JLR will begin global deliveries of the Range Rover Sport Electric in September 2026.
The luxury electric SUV is expected to arrive in Indian showrooms by March 2027, where it will expand the brand’s growing electric vehicle portfolio.

Conclusion
The Range Rover Sport Electric marks another important step in JLR’s electrification journey. It combines the familiar design and luxury of the standard Range Rover Sport with a powerful dual-motor electric powertrain and advanced technology. Moreover, its expected India launch in 2027 will give luxury SUV buyers another compelling electric alternative in the premium segment.
