The new Range Rover has arrived, and while the fully electric model is still a while off, the PHEV options gets a huge range boost.
Land Rover has announced its luxury SUV, the Range Rover, will be offered with a fully electric drivetrain in 2024. The announcement was made alongside the introduction of the new Range Rover, which boasts a wide array of technology, and an enhanced plug-in hybrid with a much improved electric range. The all-electric Range Rover will be the first Land Rover to offer a drivetrain with no combustion engine, and it will mark the first of six new all-electric vehicles that will follow in the proceeding years. While we’re yet to see a Land Rover EV, it’s one half of the Jaguar Land Rover outfit, and Jaguar’s high-acclaimed, fully electric I-Pace has been around for more than three years – which means there’s already plenty of EV knowledge and know-how in the building. Land Rover hasn’t revealed anything else about the first fully electric Range Rover, but it did reveal the vast array of technology it’s bringing to its newly announced 2022 model. Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa is fully integrated into the infotainment system, allowing you to check the news and weather, adjust car functions such as the navigation and audio, and control your home (such as lights and the garage door) with your voice.
