MUMBAI, 14th May 2025: The Range Rover Velar EV, one of the most anticipated global launches for early 2025, has received nearly 61,000 bookings worldwide, Tata Motors announced in its consolidated Q4 FY25 results.
The company informed its shareholders that it is preparing to begin commercial production of the Range Rover EV after successfully testing new electric vehicle production lines in Solihull, UK.
Jaguar Land Rover, a Tata Motors subsidiary since 2008 and Britain’s largest automotive manufacturer, reported a remarkable 163% increase in sales of Range Rover’s plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models in Q3, indicating a growing trend among consumers towards electrification, according to the company.
According to JLR officials, the RR Electric development programme is still ongoing, with winter testing taking place in Arjeplog, Sweden, as the waiting list has surpassed 61,000.
JLR’s global PHEV retail sales have increased by 21.7% year on year, with Range Rover Brand PHEV retail sales up 38.2%, as more customers adopt this technology as a precursor to battery electric vehicles (BEVs).
JLR is confident that the Range Rover Electric will be the “most capable luxury SUV” available. JLR has put the Range Rover EV through rigorous weather testing, and the electric model matches and, in some cases, outperforms its internal combustion engine counterparts.
JLR also reported over 32,000 global bookings for Jaguar’s upcoming electric GT. The company has also confirmed that its collaboration with its Chinese joint venture partner Chery to develop an EV portfolio based on JLR’s Freelander brand is moving forward and will strengthen JLR’s existing operations in China.
