# 2028 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Electric
Land Rover confirms a fully electric Range Rover Sport arrives in 2028, cementing the brand's EV transition alongside its gas-powered lineup. The move positions the luxury SUV maker to compete directly with Tesla Model X and Porsche Cayenne Electric variants in the high-end electric performance segment.
The electric Sport represents Land Rover's second EV after the already-launched Range Rover Electric, released in 2024. That flagship established Jaguar Land Rover's battery architecture and confirmed the company's commitment to electrification across its portfolio. The Sport variant targets buyers seeking sportier dynamics than the larger Range Rover while maintaining the off-road credentials the nameplate demands.
Specifics remain limited at this stage. Land Rover hasn't disclosed battery capacity, range estimates, power output, or charging speeds. The brand typically references 400+ miles of EPA range for its electric flagships, suggesting the Sport will likely land in similar territory. Acceleration figures, towing capacity, and ground clearance details will emerge closer to launch.
The 2028 timeline gives Jaguar Land Rover breathing room to develop a platform genuinely competitive with Tesla's newer architectures and Porsche's Taycan-derived system. Battery chemistry, motor efficiency, and thermal management all factor into the Sport's eventual performance envelope.
This rollout follows the industry pattern of electric luxury SUVs capturing premium buyers willing to pay for advanced powertrains. Porsche sold strong numbers of the Cayenne Electric since its 2023 debut. Mercedes-Benz launched the EQE SUV and EQS SUV models. BMW's iX remains a sales leader in its segment. Land Rover's playbook follows their blueprint.
The Range Rover Sport Electric enters a maturing market where consumers expect genuine performance
