The Range Rover EV 2 is a permanent — magnet synchronous electric drive unit (EDU) introduced in 2024. It features a single — speed reduction gearbox, integrated power electronics, and liquid — cooled stator windings, delivering 300 kW (402 PS) and 650 Nm of torque. The unit is mounted longitudinally and powers the rear axle in a dual — motor all — wheel — drive architecture.

The Range Rover EV 2 is a 300 kW permanent-magnet synchronous electric drive unit engineered for full-size luxury SUVs (2024–present). It integrates a single-speed reduction gearbox with liquid-cooled power electronics to deliver instant torque and refined operation. Designed for zero tailpipe emissions, it complies with EU CO₂ fleet regulations and Euro 6d-Final ancillary standards.

The Range Rover EV 2 is used exclusively in Land Rover's L460 electric platform with longitudinal rear-axle mounting and no external licensing. This drive unit is paired with a front-axle EDU (EV 1) in a dual-motor configuration. From Q1 2025, revised inverter modules with improved thermal management were introduced across all builds. All adaptations are documented in OEM technical bulletins.
Engine Finders UK Ltd, which operates EngineCode.uk, can pass your enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. The service is for vehicles in the United Kingdom, with UK delivery or fitting. This is a commercially connected service, and sending an enquiry does not confirm diagnosis or compatibility.
Diagnostic reminder: If a technician has recommended replacing the engine, you can send an enquiry to engine suppliers in the UK. Confirm the diagnosis first: an engine-code record does not diagnose a fault.
Field reports and technical service bulletins highlight component wear patterns under high-load operation. Adherence to manufacturer service intervals and approved fluid specifications is critical for long-term reliability.
Analysis derived from manufacturer technical service bulletins and industry workshop records. Repair procedures should follow manufacturer guidelines.
The most common questions about engine codes, what they mean, how to find them and how this database works
The EV 2 offers silent, refined performance but has known issues with inverter capacitors in early builds (pre-2025). With software updates, thermal preconditioning, and avoidance of sustained high-load driving, well-maintained examples can achieve high mileage reliably. The absence of combustion components eliminates many traditional failure points.
Top issues include inverter capacitor degradation, 12V battery drain, gearbox whine, and inverter coolant leaks. These are documented in Land Rover SIB 01/2025/03 and TIS updates, and commonly appear in high-usage or poorly preconditioned vehicles.
The EV 2 powers the rear axle of the Range Rover Electric L460 (2024–present). It is used exclusively in this model and not shared with other manufacturers. The vehicle features a dual-motor setup with a front EV 1 unit.
Limited potential. Power output is governed by battery thermal limits and inverter firmware. While third-party software can increase regen or torque response, OEM safeguards prevent significant power increases without hardware upgrades. Unauthorized tuning may void warranty and trigger safety derating.
Real-world consumption is ~24.5 kWh/100km (city) and ~21.0 kWh/100km (highway), or about 2.4–2.8 mi/kWh. Range varies from 350–420 km (WLTP) depending on wheel size, climate, and driving style. Preconditioning and heat pump usage significantly improve winter efficiency.
No engine oil is required. The reduction gearbox is filled with synthetic gear oil for life under normal conditions, though Land Rover recommends inspection at 160,000 km or 10 years. No routine fluid changes are specified for the electric drive unit itself.
Minimal mechanical maintenance: inspect high-voltage connectors, coolant levels, and gearbox integrity per TIS schedule. The 12V battery should be tested annually. Software updates via OTA or dealer are critical for thermal and safety management. Brake fluid and cabin filters follow standard intervals.
Comprehensive technical documentation and regulatory references
EngineCode.uk is operated by Engine Finders UK Ltd. It provides engine-reference information and an optional commercial enquiry service. It is not an official manufacturer website. Check the record's sources and confirm vehicle-specific details before relying on it for parts, repairs or replacement.
Our editorial standard prioritises relevant manufacturer documentation and official regulatory sources. The sources and verification status for a record should be checked alongside the data.
A statement is not verified merely because a source is listed. Where supporting evidence is missing or conflicting, the record should identify that limitation. Please report unsupported or inconsistent information.
Transparency in gaps
A missing or unverified value does not mean the manufacturer has withheld it. We distinguish information not yet verified, information not available to us, and information explicitly not disclosed by the source.
