Land Rover’s first electric Range Rover will bring a sleek new body style, 800-volt architecture, and more than 100.0 kWh of battery capacity.
It has been a few years since Jaguar Land Rover made big changes to its lineup. The automaker converted its corporate name to JLR and launched its House of Brands strategy, treating Range Rover, Discovery, and Defender as distinct brands alongside Jaguar.
At the time, JLR said it wanted to become an electric-first brand by 2030, with plans to launch its first battery-powered Land Rover by 2025. Clearly, that didn’t happen. But last month, the automaker announced the Range Rover GT—a battery-electric grand tourer and an entirely new concept for the brand. It should launch very soon.
When Land Rover unveiled the prototype at the end of July, it said that the vehicle was already completing its final on-road testing. Details remain scarce, despite having a pretty good idea of its design, inside and out. Until the car’s official debut, here’s what we know about the new Land Rover Range Rover GT.
What Will Land Rover Call It?

Land Rover has already announced the model’s name; it’s simply called the GT. The automaker has teased it online, calling it “An all-electric grand tourer engineered to combine uncompromising all-terrain capability with long-distance refinement.”
This will be Range Rover’s fifth model to join the lineup since JLR created its House of Brands in 2023. The GT will sit alongside the Evoque, Velar, Sport, and full-fat Range Rover models.

Land Rover revealed the GT prototype wearing a thin layer of camouflage, and it was easy to tell it was unlike any model the brand has ever made. The new Range Rover embraces its GT name with a wagon-like stance, sloping roof, and frameless doors.
The prototype rides low to the ground—for a Land Rover—and looks more like a lifted grand tourer than a lowered SUV. Our rendering peels back the prototype’s covering to reveal a familiar design that shares much with its current Range Rover models.
Our GT has a narrow, closed-off grille, slim headlights, and a simple lower bumper. The rear has a sloping roof with distinct Range Rover styling and mirrors the prototype, which should be close to the production appearance.
What Will The Interior Look Like?

We expect the prototype’s cabin to carry over to the production version. Land Rover said it shaped the cabin with “the same reductive principles that define its exterior proportions.” The interior is nearly void of buttons and switches.
There’s a large central display floating in front of the dashboard and a thin, Polestar-like (RIP) driver’s display on top of the dash, replacing a traditional gauge cluster. Even though Land Rover banished buttons, it didn’t pack the cabin with an annoying number of screens.
The prototype Land Rover showed off had a 2+2 interior. A center console with cup holders, wireless charging pads, and a touchscreen for climate controls and media settings separates the rear seats, and we expect Land Rover will offer a bench seat option on the production model.
What Platform Will It Ride On?

Land Rover has already confirmed that the Range Rover GT will ride on the automaker’s new Electrified Modular Architecture (EMA) platform. It will be the brand’s first all-electric Range Rover.
Specific details about the battery-electric powertrain remain a mystery. The architecture should be an 800-volt system capable of DC charging speeds up to 350 kilowatts.
What Will Power It?
The new Range Rover will launch with at least two motors as standard, offering all-wheel drive. The output remains a mystery, but we expect it will have plenty of power.
Land Rover will likely offer the GT with at least two battery sizes, and both should have over 100 kilowatt hours of storage. We don’t know how much range that will offer, but images of the prototype showed the GT displaying 288 miles with 80 percent battery, putting a full charge at 360 miles.
Those are not official numbers. The GT will launch first as a battery-electric vehicle. Land Rover plans to add a hybrid variant later in its lifecycle.
When Will It Debut?

Land Rover did not specify when it plans to launch the Range Rover GT. When the automaker unveiled the new model in July, it said prototypes were “undertaking their final on‑road testing now.”
It will reveal more details later this year. We suspect the GT will go on sale sometime early next year, if not sooner. The camouflaged prototype that Land Rover showed off earlier this summer looked closer to being production-ready than a concept.
How Much Will It Cost?
It’s too early to know the GT’s price. The lineup extends from the entry-level Evoque at $51,375 to the proper Range Rover model with a $115,750 starting price, and the GT could fall anywhere in between.
Land Rover will build the new GT in the UK alongside other combustion and hybrid models.
