Find out why Autocar's StvCr believes electrification could be Land Rover's greatest asset:
With Land Rovers, however, we’re used to bulk and weight. The bodies are already big enough to house large batteries. The weight won’t come as a surprise. Nobody buys a Land Rover for its fine engine note: they value the refinement that comes as standard with an EV powertrain. Landies can change to electrification without frightening the horses.
Now consider the singular advantages EV powertrains will bring to Land Rovers. Their precise power delivery and new, higher levels of torque vectoring will play perfectly to the needs of next-level off-road cars. Weight distribution can be more optimal. Ground clearance can be better without exhaust systems to accommodate. And given the market-leading capability of Land Rover’s in-house designers, it’s even possible that greater freedom with packaging will free future Land Rovers and Range Rovers to pioneer 'next generation' in some form proportions. They’ve done such things before, and you can bet they’ve been viewing the new opportunities for several years already.
