New Range Rover GT 2027
This week, the first official teasers of the most unusual Range Rover model appeared, allowing us to examine all the key features of its exterior.
Just a few days ago, the first spy photos of unusual prototypes with an unusually low roofline for the brand began to surface online, and initially everyone assumed that a second-generation Velar crossover was hidden under the camouflage. Now it has turned out that the first generation of the stylish ICE-powered SUV will remain in production for several more years. The new model will become the brand’s fifth model and will be named GT.
As already mentioned, this is the most unusual model for the company, most closely resembling a passenger car due to its low-slung silhouette. Overall, the body shape resembles a liftback because of the sloping roof and heavily raked rear window that extends to the edge of the tailgate. Otherwise, the design is done in the current Range Rover styling with maximally clean lines and surfaces. At the front, the crossover has narrow horizontal headlights with a strip of daytime running lights at the bottom, while the grille is still completely hidden under camouflage: we have depicted a version styled after the upcoming electric Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.
The massive front bumper features a pair of vertical air ducts at the edges and a trapezoidal air intake at the bottom. From the side, one can note the brand’s signature flush door handles, a hood line that wraps around the wheel arches (like on the smaller Evoque model), frameless doors, and — for the first time in a Range Rover — side mirrors mounted on stalks. The rear resembles the current Range Rover Sport, except that the tailgate is made even flatter, and the taillights are designed as horizontal lines.
The Range Rover GT is built on the EMA platform announced back in 2021 with an 800-volt electrical architecture. Initially, it is positioned as an electric vehicle, while hybrid versions will appear in the future (most likely using an internal combustion engine solely as a generator). The crossover will have at least one electric motor on each axle, so all-wheel drive will already be standard in the base version. By the way, the interior of the new model has already been fully revealed.
The premiere date of the new Range Rover GT has not yet been announced, however, given the level of readiness, it can quite reasonably be expected within the coming months. It will be produced at the JLR plant in Halewood (England, Merseyside) alongside the Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport models. Meanwhile, earlier this month, new photos and details regarding the new large Freelander 8 crossover were published.
