Range Rover Electric Review – We’ve DRIVEN it!!

We've had a special first drive of the brand-new Range Rover Electric. However after more than ten years of rumours, is this high-end SUV still a correct Variety Rover, and has it deserved the wait?

In this video, we get behind the wheel early to tell you everything you require to learn about the Range Rover Electric ahead of its full launch later this year– how it drives, how it charges and how it compares to the fuel Range Rover.

You'll find out:
– How the Range Rover Electric looks vs the standard Variety Rover– consisting of the closed-off grille, aero-optimised alloys and why there's no EV badging
– Powertrain & efficiency– 542bhp and more torque than any Range Rover to date
– Battery, variety & charging– 118.1 kWh usable capacity battery, 330-mile range and 350kW charging
– Interior & tech– what's changed inside, the 13.1 in touchscreen and why 80% of functions are two taps away
– Functionality & boot area– very same space as the routine Range Rover, although there's no seven-seat alternative
– What it resembles to drive– refinement, comfort, and the creative chauffeur-style regenerative braking
– Pricing & trim levels– beginning at ₤ 154,070, rising to more than ₤ 225,000!

    Yeah it’s beautiful and interior looks lovely – though no buttons will ever be acceptable, stop trying to save a few pennies and making vehicles worse. He says the screen is fast but it clearly wasn’t. It has nice graphics, but look at it, there is a noticeable stutter each time he does anything. 330 miles is both unsurprising and only barely acceptable – vehicles like that may be as good as they could do. Finally, that price, good gods it is not just for rich people anymore – it’s for ultra rich people.

      That’s probably just the nature of recording a screen. It should look much smoother in real life

      British “journalist” glazing over a once British car brand. Coward is what he is

      What about the range is barely acceptable, who on earth dailies more than 300 miles anyways. It must be a handful. Here’s an ant.

      I doubt the screen is “stuttery” that appearance is probably down to photographic and screen frame rate refresh, you often see it when someone ‘videos’ a tv screen or even daytime running lights; you get flicker

      How 😂. Anyone driving this owns a mansion and will have the butler charge it.

      A lot of you complain it don’t even know why you’re complaining

    This is going to fly in Cities like London or rich country estates where you can just charge at home easy! Mailed it looks like a range, not a different EV!

    It will be great for taking children to private school!!! And keep a petrol one for long trips – weekends in Cornwall, ski trips to Switzerland!!!😊😊😊

      With that wafting along smooth suspension you’ll barely feel the cyclist crunch as you ride over them!

      Why wouldn’t you use the electric one for all of these trips? Do you think there aren’t chargers in Cornwall or Europe? These will sell like hot cakes.

      ​@appkazoo5925Guildford (Surrey) to Gstaad (Switzerland) – probably a typical Range Rover journey is 643 miles! A Porsche Cayenne EV does 380 miles on a charge, so would need one stop – but unlike a short I.C.E. fuel stop, it would probably be a 5/6 hours stop. Might be too much if travelling with family??? 😊😊😊

    What is the towing capacity, just a one horse horse box, or can it manage the 2/3 horses boxes and boats like a full fat Range Rover?

    Everything controlled by a touchscreen? Good thing Land Rover doesn’t have a track record of electrical gremlins.

    Physical climate controls for rear passengers but not front passengers??………

    When will car makers realise that removing all physical controls is the opposite of luxury? It just shouts cost cutting.

    1. @oliverholden1271 Avatar
      @oliverholden1271

      It does cut costs, but I would argue that it IS also luxury. I certainly want it. So long as customers are aware of all features and extras built into the menus of the screen.

    2. @simono4991 Avatar
      @simono4991

      I agree. What’s more luxurious, a nice tactile dial or button, or a fingerprint-smeared piece of glass? I know which I prefer.

      ​@oliverholden1271 We have found the only person who wants touch screen controls for everything.

    4. @oliverholden1271 Avatar
      @oliverholden1271

      ​@simono4991I think there is a balance to be had with both. But visually, there’s no question for me that a touchscreen and let “clutter” is certainly the minimalist, luxurious future I would like.

      gawd, absolutely – reviewers only every show the touch screen while parked, some of them even lean right over and prop themselves up on the center console to prod the screen. We really, really, need a proper analysis of how long people take their eyes off the road while they’re wobbling an unsupported finger over a 5mm x 5mm icon an arms-length away to adjust the internal temperature of the car. There’s simply zero tactile feedback on an icon randomly placed under a large expanse of plastic. The only merit of icons-on-a-piece-of-plastic is it’s incredibly cheap to manufacture.

    Finally no engine or transmission issues and a possibility of a vehicle that could be reliable.

      I’m afraid they are a traditional company.

      Range Rover is the only company that could make a DC motor unreliable

    @summit_detailing

    I think these will turn out to be the best selling model in the range.
    I’d like to be optimistic and think they will be much more reliable than their recent models – which is good as you then don’t have to deal with their incompetent dealers!

    It shows how confident LR are with the car by only offering a 3 year warranty!.

    At least schools in Chelsea won’t have the same levels of pollution at drop off and pick up times.

    These’ll be popular as Ltd Co leases, but £150k – £250k is a lot to gamble for any kind of purchase

    Reliability has become the brand’s trademark.

    Best looking luxury SUV with lot of space, practically, super comfortable seats including the backseats. Electric spec is fine, price comparable to ICE version. If reliability improves (hope they have learnings from Jag i-Pace), it will be a great car, but with expected huge depreciation

  17. @thomaske917 Avatar
    @thomaske917

    Could it be that you used the wrong vids for the backseat and used the vids for the Range Rover Sport instead?

    When switching to the boot clip, you can see that the backseat passengers have a screen in front of them, yet when Dan is in the backseat, there are no screens? Also the display in the back says Range Rover Sport

    3 year warranty for that price ??????😂😂😂😂😂😂dead duck already .

    Depreciation will be savage on these, if the iPace is anything to go by. Probably will be driven by the Essex dryrobe crowd in 5 years or so.

      So just like all the other ones then.

    Props to LR for quoting a real-world range alongside the WLTP one.
