Range Rover GT: Everything We Know About JLR's First All-Electric Grand Tourer

The EMA platform will also underpin next-generation Evoque and Discovery Sport models, making it central to JLR's flexible manufacturing approach .

Body Style: A Fastback, Not an SUV

The GT is a four-door fastback grand tourer with frameless doors, a coupe-like roofline, and a stance lower than a Range Rover Evoque but with the length of a Range Rover Sport . It has been described as a "cross-coupe" or "coupe crossover" .

One automotive outlet described the camouflaged test cars as looking like "a Range Rover Sport that's had a grand piano dropped onto it from a great height" . The body is designed for aerodynamic efficiency, which should improve driving range and dynamic handling compared to its SUV stablemates .

Production Location: Halewood, UK

The Range Rover GT will be manufactured at Halewood, UK, alongside internal combustion engine and hybrid models on the same production line . JLR has invested £500 million in its Merseyside facility to support EMA platform production and battery assembly .

Charging Capabilities

While JLR has not released final technical specifications for the GT, it is confirmed as a BEV on the EMA platform and is expected to support 800V architecture . For context, the Range Rover Electric — which debuted at the 2026 Goodwood Festival of Speed with an 118 kWh battery — uses 800V charging capable of a 10-to-80% charge in under 60 minutes at up to 350 kW . The GT is expected to share similar charging capability.

The interior features up to four wireless charging pads for devices — two in the front and two for rear passengers — which one outlet called "the most we have seen in a production vehicle" .

Hybrid Availability: BEV First, HEV Later

The GT launches exclusively as a battery electric vehicle (BEV) . A hybrid (HEV/PHEV) version is planned for later in the model's lifecycle, since the EMA platform is designed for flexible electrification . JLR's official press release states the platform has "flexibility planned to be added to future vehicles through a full Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) option later in the lifecycle" .

Lineup Positioning: Where It Sits in the Range Rover Family

The GT is the fifth model in the Range Rover family, sitting alongside (not replacing) the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar, and Evoque . It is positioned as a sporty, luxury grand tourer aimed at long-distance electric touring with a lounge-inspired, ultra-quiet cabin .

Size-wise, it is roughly similar to the Velar — around 4.8 metres long — but with a much lower, more aerodynamic body . Some sources say it is lower than an Evoque but as long as a Range Rover Sport . Initially sold as a four-seater, a second-row bench seat boosting capacity to five will be offered later .

Market Timeline

• Revealed in preview (interior shown): 22 July 2026
• Full exterior reveal: Expected later in 2026
• On-sale / deliveries: 2027 model year

Broader Context: JLR's Electrification Strategy

The Range Rover GT is a key element of JLR's Reimagine strategy, the company's $19 billion plan to electrify its entire lineup . Under Reimagine:

• JLR plans to offer pure-electric versions of all Jaguar and Land Rover models by 2030
• The GT joins the full-size Range Rover Electric and the electric Range Rover Sport in the brand's BEV lineup
• The EMA platform allows JLR to produce ICE, hybrid, and BEV vehicles on the same Halewood production line, giving the company flexibility across markets
• JLR has invested £500 million in Halewood alone to support the EMA platform and battery assembly

What We Don't Know Yet

JLR has not released official figures for battery capacity, horsepower, range, or pricing. The company says full technical specifications will be revealed before the end of 2026 . The exterior of the production car remains under camouflage, though the interior has been shown to select media .
