Land Rover Unveils Emissions-Free Range Rover Sport as Part of Electric Transformation Plan
#In Development
Land Rover has revealed a glimpse into its plans to electrify its lineup, with the upcoming pure electric Range Rover Sport slated for release within the next 18 months. The new model is expected to debut in spring 2026 and will be built on the Enhanced Matrix Alloy (EMA) electric drive platform.
Key Design Features and Technical Specifications
When compared to its combustion-powered predecessor, the newly-imagined Range Rover Sport features a more streamlined aesthetic that echoes the brand's familial design language. Distinctive downwards-sloping angular lines characterize the lower grille section.
A notable change to be observed from disguise is that larger size for the mesh net in which it wraps - as well as new aerodynamics packages surrounding this new mesh net to offer improved airflow efficiency, according to insiders.
Compared to its liquid-petrol sibling, Range Rover Sport gains a greater emphasis on ground contact, thanks largely to the lowering of its centre-of-gravity. This brings further improvements in traction and pavement handling capabilities for better driving dynamics.
Downward-slightly at the rear, new LED fog-lights give a sense that it features more futuristic headlamps - rather unlike their familiar shapes as seen in existing models.
The new look will also include fender-mounted LED turn signal lights with a full range of aerodynamic innovations such as intake slits and front air curtains for enhanced downforce. Rearwards, though disguised under a sleek plastic cover to maintain disguise, is revealed the shape of potentially integral cross-drain style tail-lights. This alongside an angular air-intake scoop atop the re-trimmed rear deck suggests that clever active camber control technology may allow the Range Rover Sport stay out-of-spec during certain weather conditions or driving modes while reducing wheelspin impact.
Electrification Capabilities and Expected Features
Range Rover will build high-powered electric drivetrain via EMA chassis integration with 800V architecture that promises an incredibly efficient recharge (80% in just 25 minutes) to match its impressive projected running range, up towards 750 kilometres.
Furthermore it promises new sophisticated water wading abilities.
