However, the possibilities of the novelty do not end there. In the next three years, a variant with a purely electric drive, the installation of which the MLA platform allows, should also be introduced. In this context, Program Director Nick Miller mentioned that in addition to a battery-powered electric car, the Range Rover could also run on hydrogen.

When it comes to a clean electric car, the Range Rover will benefit from BMW’s experience here. The British brand has entered into a development partnership with the Munich carmaker focused on the joint development of new electric drive systems. We still have to wait for detailed information, but we are already talking about a version with two electric motors, which in terms of power equals the most powerful variant with an internal combustion engine.
