- Range Rover revealed first images of the all-electric GT, described by managing director Martin Limbert as "the most car-like, yet unmistakably capable, Range Rover ever created" — a deliberate departure from the brand's boxy SUV heritage
- The GT rides on Jaguar Land Rover's new EMA platform, which was originally designed as a dedicated EV architecture but is now also being opened up to hybrid powertrains
- The interior ditches all physical buttons in favor of a single central screen and slim driver display — the opposite approach from Volkswagen, which has begun reintroducing physical controls in its latest EVs
- The GT is expected to use a 100+ kWh battery pack enabling close to 500 miles (800 km) of range, outpacing the flagship Range Rover Electric's 118 kWh pack rated at 373 miles (600 km)
- Production is scheduled for H1 2027 at JLR's Halewood, UK plant, launching as pure electric with a full hybrid variant planned "later in the lifecycle"
- UK pricing is expected to start above £75,000 ($100,000), with US pricing closer to $90,000 and at least 300 miles of EPA range — positioning the GT below the Velar and roughly half the flagship EV's £150,000 tag
Why it matters: Range Rover is pricing the GT under £75,000 in the UK — roughly half its flagship EV's £150,000 starting point — pulling electric Range Rover ownership into reach for buyers previously priced out of the badge. The EMA platform's pivot from EV-only to hybrid-capable shows JLR hedging demand uncertainty despite launching the GT as pure-electric first.
