Range Rover Sport Electric SA Pricing from R3.29m – Specs, Range & Orders Open

The Range Rover Sport has always been the model you choose when you want to drive rather than be driven. For the first time it is fully electric, and Land Rover’s engineers insist the driver’s character has survived the switch intact.

Performance and Driving Dynamics

Two 260 kW electric motors produce a combined 404 kW and 850 Nm, the highest torque of any Range Rover Sport. Dynamic Launch Mode delivers 0 to100 km/h in as little as 4.3 seconds, matching the P530 V8. Torque arrives 50 per cent faster than in the full size Range Rover Electric.

The body is 61 per cent stiffer than the plug-in hybrid and the centre of gravity is 73 mm lower. Electronic Active Roll Control, Twin Valve Dampers and All-Wheel Steering make the large SUV feel smaller and more responsive than its size suggests. Top speed is limited to 200 km/h.

Battery, Range and Charging

The 118.5 kWh usable battery delivers up to 609 km on the WLTP cycle and an estimated 535 km in real world conditions, practical for South African long distance driving. The 800 volt architecture supports rapid DC charging: up to 220 km can be added in ten minutes, or the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in approximately 22 minutes on a suitable 350 kW charger.

Off-Road Capability and Testing

Wading depth remains 900 mm. Engineers validated the car in the Carrara marble quarries in Italy, climbing 45 degree gradients on polished marble and fine dust while using all wheel steering to clear tight hairpins without reversing. Development also included high-speed work at the Magarigawa Club private track near Tokyo. Even the artificial sound has been tuned with layered tones designed to encourage drivers to explore the different drive modes.
