In a bold stride towards the future, Range Rover is embarking on a monumental journey with its latest innovation—entering the electric vehicle realm with unparalleled determination. The iconic brand, synonymous with luxury and off-road prowess, is now channeling its heritage into the realm of electric propulsion, setting new standards in performance, refinement, and sustainability.
The maiden steps of this transformative journey take place amidst the snow-blanketed landscapes of Sweden's frozen lakes, where the first Range Rover Electric prototypes are undergoing rigorous testing. This rigorous assessment isn't merely a test drive; it's a testament to Range Rover's commitment to leading the electric vehicle revolution.
The initial prototypes, unveiled in striking all-black attire, reveal a modernist design that pays homage to the Range Rover bloodline while ushering in a new era of automotive excellence. Without the camouflage that typically shrouds such early-stage vehicles, these prototypes proudly showcase the uncompromising build quality and innovative engineering that define Range Rover.
Behind this electrifying endeavor lies a year-long journey of meticulous component development and virtual refinement, aimed at crafting the quietest and most refined Range Rover ever to grace the roads. The bar is set high, promising a seamless blend of luxury, performance, and eco-consciousness.
But what truly sets the Range Rover Electric apart is its pioneering electric propulsion capability. The arduous test regimen spans extreme temperatures, from bone-chilling -40°C in the Arctic Circle to scorching +50°C in Middle Eastern deserts. This exhaustive testing ensures that these electric behemoths are not just vehicles; they're mobile sanctuaries capable of conquering any terrain, in any weather.
Key to this capability is Range Rover's proprietary all-electric drivetrain, meticulously crafted and assembled in-house by JLR—a first for the brand. At the heart of this innovation lies the Electric Drive Unit (EDU), comprising the transmission, electric motor, and power electronics. These components are subjected to the harshest of conditions, proving their mettle in sub-zero temperatures and demonstrating unwavering performance on low-grip surfaces.
Range Rover Electric doesn't just adapt to challenging conditions; it redefines them. The traction control system, a marvel of engineering prowess, is designed to deliver unprecedented performance on icy terrains. By decentralizing wheel slip management to individual electric drive units, Range Rover slashes reaction times from 100 milliseconds to a staggering 1 millisecond, ensuring unparalleled stability and control.
Bolstered by cutting-edge software developed in-house by JLR, the Range Rover Electric boasts precise speed control over its EDU, minimizing the need for traditional ABS intervention. The result? Maximum traction on all surfaces, with a level of response and refinement that elevates the driving experience to new heights.
In essence, the Range Rover Electric isn't just a vehicle; it's a testament to the relentless pursuit of innovation and excellence. By embracing electric propulsion without compromising on luxury or performance, Range Rover is poised to redefine what it means to lead in the automotive industry.
As the automotive landscape evolves, Range Rover stands ready—not just to adapt but to excel. The frozen lakes of Sweden are but the beginning of a transformative journey that promises to redefine the very essence of Range Rover's legacy. Brace yourselves; the future is electric, and Range Rover is leading the charge.

In the realm of electric vehicle (EV) innovation and endurance, the "Tour d’Excellence" stands as a testament to bold exploration and sustainable mobility. Organized by the Geneva International Motor Show (GIMS) and led by Frank M. Rinderknecht, CEO of Rinspeed Inc., this extraordinary journey spanned from Geneva to Doha and onward to Salalah, covering a staggering 12,500 kilometers. What makes this feat truly remarkable is that over half of this distance—more than 6,000 kilometers—was traversed without the convenience of established charging infrastructure.
Kia Corporation (Kia) has released the first teaser images of its upcoming EV3, the brand’s new compact EV SUV set to enhance the accessibility of electric mobility from Kia. The teaser images showcase the bold, geometric and robust aspects of the EV3’s exterior design while highlighting its dynamic styling. These qualities are emphasized by the boxy rear fenders and tailgate, as well as the EV3’s signature Star Map lighting, which imbue the vehicle with a strong, futuristic identity.
Automobili Lamborghini has announced the debut of its Urus SE – the first plug-in hybrid super SUV – in the Middle East. The all-new model was unveiled to Lamborghini customers and media during an exclusive event at One&Only One Za'abeel in Dubai
Featuring a new design, optimised aerodynamics, unprecedented on-board technology and an 800 CV hybrid powertrain, the PHEV (Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle) version moves on Urus S in terms of comfort, performance, efficiency, emissions and driving pleasure. Thanks to its “two hearts”, thermal and electric, the torque and power values are the highest ever, giving the SE a unique place in its category and boasting an 80% reduction in emissions.
