The Ultimate Test: Pushing the Electric Range Rover to its Limits in the World’s Harshest Environments

Range Rover is testing its newest and smartest thermal management system under temperatures of up to 50°C and humidity reaching 90%. In the challenging environment that all Range Rover models must endure, there is no tougher test for the climate control system. From dynamic desert hill climbs to leisurely city cruises in the scorching sun, every scenario is examined to ensure maximum passenger comfort and superior vehicle performance.

The Range Rover Electric delivers impressive efficiency, surpassing the heat test performance of any previous Range Rover model when driving on sand. Pushing the boundaries, the exceptional thermal performance is consistently maintained throughout the intense and prolonged desert driving.

In developing the brand’s first all-electric Range Rover, the United Arab Emirates has become a crucial testing ground, where the vehicle confronts the desert’s intense heat. The car’s performance and energy efficiency are rigorously challenged to ensure that the complete drivetrain is accurately temperature-controlled, while also guaranteeing optimal durability and range.

Range Rover Electric showcases superior performance, outperforming all previous Range Rover models in heat testing when driving on sand. Unfazed by the harsh conditions, the thermal performance remains consistent throughout the extended desert journey.

The Range Rover Electric builds on over 50 years of pioneering innovation to deliver stability and comfort across all terrains. This endurance and resilience testing reaffirms Range Rover’s “go-anywhere” reputation, propelling the brand into the electric era. Range Rover’s intelligent electric powertrain, coupled with advanced terrain response, provides a seamless experience, effortlessly transitioning from the urban landscape of Dubai to the desert dunes – always ready to confidently tackle any terrain.

The vehicle’s well-balanced weight distribution and advanced suspension system ensure easy control and stability over the sand, with absolute composure. The unaffected traction system delivers instant torque, enabling swift acceleration, responsive handling, and a smooth driving experience, even when navigating diverse sand dunes.

Range Rover Electric’s new Intelligent Torque Vectoring System directly manages slip control at each electric drive unit, reducing torque response time at each wheel from around 100 milliseconds to just 1 millisecond. This enhances traction control when driving on fine sand.

At the heart of Sharjah’s Al Badayer desert, “Big Red” stands tall at 300ft, presenting the ultimate desert hill climb challenge in Dubai. All Range Rover models must successfully complete this climb five times without any performance degradation before advancing to the next phase of testing. The Range Rover Electric has excelled in this critical phase.

Range Rover Electric has impressively passed this significant development stage. Preparations continue to finalize and refine this Range Rover icon, gearing up for customer orders in 2025.
