Today, all cars sold in India by Jaguar Land Rover run on petrol or diesel. That is likely to change in 2026. The company is preparing to bring electric cars to India again, and this time it will start with two high-end models. These new cars will sit at the top of the luxury range and will focus on long driving range, strong performance, and quiet electric driving.
A Big Shift Toward Electric Cars
Around the world, Jaguar Land Rover is moving toward electric power. India is expected to be part of this plan in 2026. Instead of launching many electric models at once, the brand is choosing to begin with two flagship cars. This approach shows that JLR wants to keep its premium image while stepping into the electric future.
What the Electric Range Rover Will Offer
The first electric model expected for India is the Range Rover Electric. This SUV has been in development for a long time and is now close to launch. In India, it is expected to arrive by the first half of 2026 and may carry a price close to Rs 3 crore, placing it among the most expensive electric SUVs in the country.
This electric Range Rover will use a very large battery and motors on both the front and rear wheels. This setup will allow the SUV to deliver strong power while keeping the drive smooth and silent. One important feature is its 800-volt charging system, which allows very fast charging. The company is aiming for a driving range of around 530km, which means it should be suitable for long trips as well.
In terms of looks, the electric version will stay true to the Range Rover style. It will look almost the same as the petrol and diesel models, with only small changes to show that it is electric. Inside, the cabin will feel just as spacious and luxurious. Passengers and luggage space will not be affected by the battery. Both regular and long-wheelbase versions are expected, along with special high-end versions under the SV name.
Jaguar’s New Electric Four-Door GT
Jaguar is also working on a completely new electric car called the Jaguar Electric 4-door GT. This car is expected to make its global debut in the second half of 2026, with India likely to follow soon after.
This electric Jaguar is being built on a new platform made only for electric cars. The focus here is on long-distance driving. Early information suggests that the car could travel more than 700km on a full charge, which is very impressive. Power output is also expected to be strong, keeping Jaguar’s sporty image alive even without an engine.
Test cars seen overseas show a low and wide shape. The design will be long and sleek, with a smooth roofline and a short rear section. This gives it the look of a stylish four-door sports car rather than a regular sedan. Jaguar is using this model to show what the brand will look like in its electric future.

What This Means for Buyers in India
With these two electric cars, Jaguar Land Rover is clearly targeting buyers who want luxury first and electric power second. These models will not be mass-market cars. Instead, they will appeal to customers who want comfort, strong performance, and long range, along with the quiet and smooth feel of electric driving.
The electric Range Rover will suit buyers who want a powerful and comfortable SUV for daily use and long journeys. The Jaguar electric GT will be aimed at those who want something stylish, fast, and different from regular luxury sedans.
Final Thoughts
The year 2026 could mark an important change for Jaguar Land Rover in India. By bringing the electric Range Rover and Jaguar’s new electric four-door GT, the company is taking its first serious step into the electric luxury space. These cars will not be about high sales numbers. Instead, they will show how electric cars can offer both luxury and performance. For buyers waiting for premium electric options in India, these upcoming launches will be worth keeping an eye on.
