JLR Korea announced on the 1st that it has unveiled the "Range Rover Sport Electric," the first all-electric model in the Range Rover Sport lineup, in South Korea and will begin accepting orders starting in October. Customer deliveries are scheduled to proceed sequentially from mid-2027. The domestic launch trim is a single specification: the EV550 Autobiography.

The Range Rover Sport Electric features 61% higher body structural rigidity and a center of gravity lowered by 73 mm compared to the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) model. The powertrain is equipped with two 260 kW electric motors, delivering a maximum output of 550 PS and peak torque of 86.7 kg·m. When Dynamic Launch mode is activated, it accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds.

The vehicle is equipped with an 118.5 kWh lithium-ion battery featuring a high-strength aluminum case. It achieves a maximum driving range of 609 km on a single charge under the European WLTP standard. Supporting an 800V electric architecture and split charging technology, it can add up to 220 km of range in just 10 minutes using a fast DC charger, while charging from 10% to 80% takes approximately 22 minutes.

To enhance driving performance, the vehicle is equipped with advanced chassis technologies such as Adaptive Dynamics 2, twin-valve dampers, Dynamic Response Pro, and all-wheel steering. Through the Intelligent Traction Management system and Virtual All-Wheel Drive, it boasts a fording depth of up to 900 mm and the ability to climb slopes of up to 45 degrees. Additionally, an aerodynamically optimized grille and alloy wheels have been applied to improve high-speed driving efficiency. The battery is covered by an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty.
