The new electric Range Rover has been all but revealed as final-stage testing gets under way in preparation for its launch later this year.
New images show JLR's second production EV testing in the Arctic Circle - following a year of component and virtual tests where temperatures fall as low as -40deg C.
Unusually, the electric Range Rover has been shown completely uncamouflaged a decision made to "underline the build quality of the initial prototypes", according to its maker.
Painted entirely in black without the contrasting matt trim elements that JLR has previously suggested will mark out the EV powertrain, the prototype looks all but identical to the combustion Range Rover that has been on sale since 2022.
JLR said these new images show how the prototype's "modernist design language stays true to the Range Rover bloodline", suggesting that the Range Rover Electric - as it is officially named - will be only subtly differentiated from the straight-six, V8 and plug-in hybrid derivatives.
