The Land Rover EV — a compact SUV explained

What the EV is

The Land Rover EV is a compact SUV that Land Rover built from 1995 to 2026 — 32 model years. Our measurements put it at 3 generations, the current one starting in 2026. It has been offered with 4-cyl, Hybrid power. Its closest siblings in the Land Rover range: Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar, Discovery Sport.

EV generations, and what changed

These boundaries are not copied from a brochure — they fall out of the measurements. Where the EV's length or wheelbase jumps between consecutive model years the platform changed: a facelift moves a bumper by centimetres, a new generation moves the whole car — for the EV that gives 3 distinct generations below.

Between 2014 and 2026 the EV gained 60 cm in length (+13.8%) and 564 kg in weight (+31.9%). Cars did not so much grow as thicken — crash structures, airbags and equipment weigh more than the metal they replaced, and on the EV that is 564 kg against 60 cm. Full dimensions by year →

Can a Land Rover EV tow? Towing & payload

As an SUV, the Land Rover EV is built to tow and haul. The exact maximum towing capacity and payload depend on the engine, drivetrain and whether it has the factory tow package.

What sets your EV's tow & payload rating:

• Engine — a larger or turbocharged engine tows more than the base unit.
• Drivetrain & axle — 4WD/AWD and the axle ratio shift the rating.
• Tow package — the factory towing package (hitch, wiring, transmission cooler) raises the max.
• Payload & GVWR — GVWR caps the combined load; more passengers and cargo lower how much you can tow.

Exact towing capacity, payload and GVWR are added per engine, drivetrain and trim — decode your VIN above, or check the driver's door-jamb and hitch labels. Curb weight from vehicle specifications.
