Following its Arctic Circle trials, Range Rover now takes on the scorching deserts of the UAE for testing.
The highly anticipated Range Rover Electric is currently in its final stages of testing, gearing up for an impressive global launch next year. Recently, Range Rover unveiled a fresh batch of images showcasing this luxury electric SUV undergoing extensive testing in the United Arab Emirates.
This just doesn’t stops here Range Rover Electric has also faced rigorous conditions in the Arctic Circle, proving its versatility. Now its being subjected to extreme heat with temperatures soaring above 50 degrees in UAE. These demanding tests underscore Range Rover’s commitment to delivering a vehicle that thrives under all conditions.
Moreover, there are strong indications that JLR plans to manufacture electric vehicles in India soon. This move will not only bolster production capabilities but also align with the growing demand for sustainable luxury vehicles. Don’t miss out on what promises to be a groundbreaking addition to the EV market.
Technical details of Electric Range Rover
The testing happening in UAE is a crucial step following earlier assessments conducted in the Arctic Circle. In the latest series of evaluations, the electric Range Rover is being tested in extreme conditions, with temperatures soaring up to 50 degrees and humidity levels hitting 90 percent. JLR has compelling reasons for putting their electric Range Rover through these rigorous trials, not only this they also want to showcase their advanced off-road technology, but they are also focusing on a groundbreaking thermal management system that they claim is the most intelligent ever integrated into a Range Rover. This innovative system is designed to handle heat effectively, ensuring maximum comfort for passengers.
Moreover, JLR has publicly stated that all vehicles have exceeded expectations during these demanding tests. The electric Range Rover test mules are even tackling Big Red- a formidable 300 ft sand dune located in Sharjah’s AI Badayer desert-to rigorously assess its new Intelligent Torque Management system. This cutting-edge feature replaces traditional ABS based traction control systems and significantly enhances off-road traction by directing power precisely where it’s needed most. It’s clear that JLR is not just testing capabilities, they are setting new standards in vehicle performance and comfort for an electrified future.
Electric Range Rover design and styling
The prototype, entirely in black and lacking the contrasting matte trim elements that JLR has hinted would highlight the EV powertrain, appears almost indistinguishable from the internal combustion engine (ICE) Range Rover available since 2022.
JLR emphasizes that this design choice reflects a commitment to “modernist design language” while remaining faithful to the Range Rover legacy. This suggests that the upcoming electric Range Rover will feature only minor distinctions from its straight-six, V8, and plug-in hybrid counterparts, making it a seamless addition to an already iconic lineup.
JLR to develop Electric Vehicles at Chennai plant
Tata Motors has made a significant move by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Tamil Nadu government to invest a remarkable Rs9000 crore in establishing an EV plant. Set to be located in Ranipet, this facility is poised to revolutionize the automotive landscape by potentially producing Jaguar Land Rover EV’s. Furthermore, credible sources from Autocar India indicate that Tata Group is not just focused on manufacturing EVs, they are also strategically planning to shift some of Jaguar Land Rover’s internal combustion engine (ICE) model production to India. This proactive approach addresses the challenges posed by evolving EU and UK legislation on IC engine manufacturing, ensuring TATA remains at the forefront of automotive innovation and compliance.
