For years, Range Rover has been known for making some of the most iconic and luxurious SUVs in the world. Big dimensions, upright styling and premium comfort have always been part of its identity. This time, however, the brand has taken a very different route. The new Range Rover GT moves away from the familiar SUV shape and introduces a sleek fastback design with an all electric powertrain. It also becomes the fifth member of the Range Rover family and previews a fresh direction for the luxury brand.
The company has released official images of the camouflaged prototype along with the first look at the cabin. The production model is now in its final testing phase before its full global debut later this year.
Range Rover GT Exterior
Unlike other Range Rover models, the GT has a much lower stance and a long flowing roofline. It still carries the brand’s signature front styling but the side profile is completely different. Exterior highlights –
- Fastback inspired coupe style roof
- Lowest Range Rover ever developed
- Longer body with sporty proportions
- Four door layout with a sleek silhouette
- Large wheels and short overhangs
- Full camouflage used on prototype models
The design gives the GT a fresh identity without losing its premium character.
Cabin Gets A Fresh Layout
The interior follows a clean and modern design with very few physical controls. Most of the important functions are handled through the large central touchscreen. Some key cabin features include:
- Compact digital driver display
- Large OLED touchscreen
- Touch sensitive steering wheel controls
- Hidden full width AC vent
- Woven textile dashboard finish
- Panoramic fixed glass roof
- Rear passenger touch controls
- Class leading rear seat legroom
- Small electronic door release switches
Range Rover says the cabin has been designed to reduce visual clutter and create a more relaxed driving experience.
Electric Platform And Expected Powertrain
The GT is the first Range Rover to use JLR’s new EMA platform. Unlike the upcoming Range Rover Electric that sits on the MLA platform, this architecture has been developed mainly for electric vehicles.
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Platform | EMA |
| Initial Powertrain | Battery Electric Vehicle |
| Drive System | Expected dual motor AWD |
| Expected Range | Over 500 km |
| Hybrid Version | Planned for later |
| Production | Halewood, United Kingdom |
The flat floor design also helps improve cabin space and allows room for a front storage compartment.
Final Testing Underway
Prototype vehicles are currently completing road tests before production begins. The special camouflage design has been inspired by the landscape around Gaydon, where Range Rover’s design and engineering teams are based.
The GT is expected to offer the comfort of a luxury grand tourer along with the capability that the Range Rover name is known for. It also promises a quieter cabin and a spacious interior thanks to its electric platform.
More technical details, performance figures and pricing will be revealed during its official global debut later this year.
