Range Rover is expanding to five standalone models for the first time in half a century — and the fifth one breaks every assumption you had about the brand. Joining Range Rover, Sport, Velar and Evoque is the GT: a low, coupe-like machine the company itself calls the most “car-like” Range Rover ever built. Camouflaged prototypes are already deep into final road testing — so the wait won't be long.
The biggest difference isn't just the silhouette. The GT will be the first Range Rover ever built on the new EMA architecture, and at launch it'll be electric only. Production is set for JLR's Halewood plant in the UK — the same factory that builds the brand's combustion and hybrid models. A full hybrid HEV option will come later on the same platform, though the company isn't saying when.
Don't expect Velar to get retired, either. According to Autocar, the newcomer will be bigger than the Velar, close in length to the Range Rover Sport, but noticeably lower. Velar keeps rolling off the line as usual, with its current petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains untouched.
The cabin promises to look nothing like any Range Rover before it. The company has shown off a single central display paired with a separate driver screen, hidden vents running the full width of the dashboard, and a woven textile finish that conceals the speakers. Special attention has gone into the second row: JLR is promising best-in-class legroom.
The hard numbers, though, are staying under wraps. Battery capacity, power output, range, charging time, exact dimensions — Range Rover isn't revealing any of it yet. Reports floating around of a battery over 100 kWh, an 800-volt system, or roughly 800 km of range remain educated guesses from the trade press, not confirmed specs for the production car.
A full reveal is expected later in 2026, with the GT reaching the market in 2027. But its role is already clear: this isn't just another tall SUV, and it isn't a Velar replacement either — it's an attempt to translate the big electric grand tourer formula into a vehicle that still has to deliver Range Rover's signature off-road ability.
