JLR will preview the Range Rover Electric, the first fully electric vehicle to carry the Range Rover nameplate, at a series of invitation-only events during summer 2026 ahead of the model’s order book opening later this year.

The pre-production vehicle made its first public appearance at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show on May 18, with additional showcase events planned in Sardinia and at the Wimbledon Championships.

JLR said the electric model retains the traditional Range Rover design silhouette, with exterior differences limited to details including a flush front grille and unique wheel center caps intended to distinguish the battery-electric version.

The company is positioning the Range Rover Electric within the existing Range Rover lineup alongside internal combustion engine and hybrid models rather than launching it as a separate electric sub-brand.

JLR has not yet disclosed technical specifications including pricing, driving range, battery capacity, motor configuration or production timing ahead of the planned order book opening later this year.

Prospective customers are expected to receive their first direct exposure to the vehicle through the invitation-only preview programme.

The launch marks the most significant electric vehicle introduction to date under the Range Rover brand as automakers continue expanding luxury EV offerings in response to tightening emissions regulations and growing consumer demand for premium electric vehicles.

Jaguar, which is also operated by JLR, is undergoing a separate transition toward becoming an all-electric luxury marque.

JLR is owned by Tata Motors, while production of the Range Rover Electric is planned for the United Kingdom.

The company has not announced when customer deliveries of the vehicle are expected to begin.
