Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed the introduction of the Range Rover GT, a fifth model line marking a structural departure from the brand’s traditional SUVs. Engineered as a low-slung grand tourer, the GT is the first vehicle underpinned by the manufacturer’s new Electric Modular Architecture (EMA). It will initially launch exclusively as a battery-electric vehicle, with hybrid variants scheduled for integration later.
Dimensionally, the GT features a stretched wheelbase exceeding the standard Range Rover, while sitting lower than a Porsche Macan. This sloping fastback profile reduces frontal area and maximises aerodynamic efficiency, extending the operating range of the high-voltage battery.
The EMA platform incorporates an 800-volt electrical system anticipated to support DC rapid charging speeds of up to 350kW. While exact motor outputs and acceleration figures remain undisclosed, propulsion will be delivered via a multi-motor, all-wheel drive configuration.
Inside, the GT abandons traditional automotive layouts for a highly reductive design. The dashboard is centred around a 13-inch OLED touch-screen and a compact digital driver display, eliminating almost all physical switchgear. In fact, the minimalist execution draws direct inspiration from the upcoming Jaguar Type 01, which is scheduled for its official global debut in New York this October.
Preview images reveal the GT adopts the identical squared-off steering wheel layout as the Jaguar, featuring touch-sensing haptic controls stretching horizontally across a two-spoke design. Behind this sit two tactile stalks; the left unit manages indicators and wipers, while the right stalk controls gear selection. In place of traditional leather hides, the interior utilises lightweight wool-blend textiles and synthetic ultra-fabrics.
Production of the Range Rover GT will take place at the manufacturer’s Halewood facility in the United Kingdom. Camouflaged prototypes are currently completing final chassis tuning and thermal validation testing. The new model represents a strategic shift for the brand, targeting the luxury electric sedan segment while retaining the ruggedness required for moderate all-terrain capability.
