The first fully electric Range Rover Sport is available to order in Australia, priced from $226,518 plus on-road costs, with initial deliveries expected in March 2027.<\/p>\n

The Range Rover Sport Electric comes in two grades: Dynamic HSE at $226,518 and Autobiography at $249,518, both before on-road costs. It joins the existing plug-in hybrid, petrol and diesel versions rather than replacing them.<\/p>\n

The electric Sport enters a field of large luxury EV SUVs that includes the Porsche Cayenne Electric, Lotus Eletre and BMW iX. <\/p>\n

The Cayenne S Electric is priced from $193,100 before on-road costs, below the entry Range Rover, while the Cayenne Turbo Electric sits above it at $259,900.<\/p>\n

Both Sport electric grades use a 118.5kWh battery and two electric motors, one on each axle. Although each motor is rated at 260kW, their combined output is 404kW and 850Nm. Range Rover claims a 0\u2013100km\/h time of 4.5 seconds with Dynamic Launch engaged.<\/p>\n

Claimed range is up to 600km on the NEDC test cycle. Range Rover also quotes a 535km estimate based on a production vehicle driven over a standardised route; actual results will depend on conditions and use.<\/p>\n

The 800-volt electrical system supports a claimed 10\u201380 per cent DC charging time of about 22 minutes on a 350kW charger. Range Rover says 10 minutes at that charging rate can add up to 220km of NEDC range. A 22kW onboard AC charger is fitted.<\/p>\n

The Sport Electric has more than a battery and motors separating it from its plug-in hybrid stablemate. Range Rover says its body structure is 61 per cent stiffer and its centre of gravity is 73mm lower. <\/p>\n

Its chassis equipment includes air suspension, electronically controlled dampers, active roll control and all-wheel steering.<\/p>\n

Range Rover also claims a 900mm wading depth and a 2500kg maximum braked towing capacity. <\/p>\n

Those figures give the electric model capabilities that may matter to buyers considering it in place of a combustion-engined Sport, although towing and off-road use will affect driving range.<\/p>\n

Exterior changes are relatively restrained, with an aerodynamically optimised grille and wheel designs among the identifying features. <\/p>\n

The Sport Electric will be built at Solihull in the UK alongside the other Range Rover Sport variants, using batteries and motors produced at JLR\u2019s Wolverhampton facility.<\/p>\n

Inside, a 13.1-inch curved touchscreen runs the Pivi Pro infotainment system, accompanied by a 13.7-inch digital instrument display. <\/p>\n

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, along with a 15W wireless phone charger. The system includes EV-specific controls for charging schedules and the powered charge-port door.<\/p>\n

Range Rover lists available 22-way adjustable heated and ventilated front seats with massage, plus heated and ventilated reclining rear seats. <\/p>\n

Buyers can also specify a Comfort Pack with four-zone climate control, a front console refrigerator, laminated side glass and cabin air purification. <\/p>\n

The press material does not set out which of these items are standard on each Australian grade.<\/p>\n

The battery carries an eight-year warranty, although Range Rover\u2019s Australian material does not specify the local distance limit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The first fully electric Range Rover Sport is available to order in Australia, priced from $226,518 plus on-road…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":910406,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,44,85583,478458],"class_list":["post-910405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news","tag-range-rover","tag-range-rover-sport-aussie-pricing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=910405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/910405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/910406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=910405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=910405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=910405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
