Range Rover is gearing up to launch its first electric SUV later this year, marking a significant milestone for the luxury brand. With several new EV models in the works, including a smaller and potentially more affordable Velar, Range Rover is set to make a splash in the electric vehicle market.
The Range Rover Velar EV is set to debut with a fresh new design that sets it apart from its gas-powered counterparts. Anticipation for the electric SUV is high, with over 57,000 clients already on the waitlist for the Range Rover Electric model. The Velar EV will follow the launch of the larger Electric and Sport models, boasting a design that stays true to the luxury brand’s signature aesthetic.
Spy shots of the upcoming Velar EV suggest that it will feature a larger, more SUV-like design, distinguishing it from the Sport and Evoque models. These design upgrades aim to position the Velar as a strong competitor in its segment, potentially rivaling vehicles like the Porsche Macan Electric.
On the inside, the Velar EV is expected to feature a minimalist design that mirrors the larger Range Rover models, emphasizing premium materials and cutting-edge technology. Range Rover has confirmed that the new EMA platform will offer hands-free, eyes-on driving assist and over-the-air updates, enhancing the overall driving experience.
JLR’s CEO Adrian Mardell has confirmed that the Velar will be the first EV to ride on the new EMA platform. The 800V platform will also underpin other upcoming JLR EVs, such as the Evoque and Defender Sport. With JLR’s focus on next-gen batteries, the electric Velar is poised to deliver impressive performance and efficiency.
As Range Rover continues to expand its electric vehicle lineup, the Velar PHEV model may also be in the works, building on the brand’s commitment to sustainability and innovation. Stay tuned for more details on the Range Rover Velar EV as its launch date approaches, and be sure to check back for the latest updates on this exciting new addition to the Range Rover family.
