Exterior & Design

Just like its petrol sibling, it is expected to maximize aerodynamic efficiency with a more estate-like profile.

Electric Powertrain

The uncovered model is expected to to utilize an enhanced version of the Spectre’s 102kWh battery, capable of reaching at least 530 kms in once charge. Further features include:

1. Performance: Anticipated output of 577 hp for the standard model, with a Black Badge variant likely pushing past 650 hp.
2. Range: Rolls-Royce is targeting a range of approximately 500–600 km (WLTP), ensuring that owners can travel between luxury hubs without "range anxiety."
3. Charging: It will likely support high-speed DC fast charging, allowing a 10% to 80% charge in roughly 30 minutes.

The luxurious band aims to minimize the noise by removing the previous V12 petrol engines from its petrol sibling, building the quietest SUV ever!
