A long waiting period for the new electric Range Rover’s SUV is finally going to arrive this year. The automaker said that over 48,000 clients were already on the waitlist for its first EV, at the end of October.
The Range Rover’s mid-size electric SUV will be the first to use its new EMA platform unlike its flagship EV. The coming EV is expected to replace the Range Rover Velar.

Adrian Mardell, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover confirmed that the new EMA model was coming last year, saying, “ We’ll first have MLA BEV, with the Range Rover BEV later next year. Then it’s the first vehicle off EMA.” The EMA-Based model is expected to arrive in spring 2026.
Last summer we saw the first glimpse of the mid-size electric SUV when it was spotted being delivered to JLR’s Nurburgring testing grounds.
New images of the EV testing, revealed by Autospy, offer a closer look at the upcoming model. It’s immediately evident that the electric version is a significant upgrade over the current model, showcasing a sportier, coupe SUV-like design.

JLR also said its new EMA platform will have hands-free, eyes-on driving assist and OTA update. Also the extended roofline could hint at a third-row seating option, but that has yet to be confirmed.
It is also expected that the upcoming Range Rovers EV compete with the electric Porsche Macan, which is already off to a strong sales start. Porsche has delivered over 18,000 Macan EVs last year after the first was handed over at the end of september.
