2028 Range Rover GT. More Info and Images.

As we already know, the all-new Range Rover GT EV will replace both the Evoque and the Velar. Two very good-looking models that have been doing pretty well for the brand. It also seems like a Range Rover GT backlash is already brewing…

There have been many negative comments about the upcoming g GT online already. Especially since Range Rover announced it will replace the Velar and Evoque. However, these are not as in vogue as they have been in the past. The compact Evoque sold only 5747 units in the US last year. Not a very popular model anyway, since it never sold more than 15,000 a year. Somehow, the more expensive Velar did better, with over 7600 of them sold in the US last year. We are talking about around 13,300 sales a year for both. Which is shockingly less than the “big guy”. The big and super expensive “regular” Range Rover sold almost 25,000 units in the US last year alone. And already around 20,000 for 2026. I guess not everyone cares about gas prices or “affordability” in general…

Still, for a small brand like Range Rover, killing around 13,000 sales a year and replacing it with a more expensive single EV model could be seen as quite a gamble.

So far, Range Rover has been releasing a few photos of camouflaged prototypes, and has actually shown us most of the interior. Which does look more like the new Jaguar Type 01 interior than a typical Range Rover interior. Again, quite a gamble. Although at least they did keep a lot of wood trim in there. The other images above are illustrations based on the official camouflaged prototype photos and are probably very close to the real thing.

Range Rover is already using big words to describe the new GT. Like “A new vision of sophistication”. Or “An elegant, electric GT with a sleek silhouette and coupe proportions, with customary Range Rover capability”. My favortite is “continent-crossing comfort”. Whatever that means…

The new GT will use an 800-Volt new EMA platform and a large battery of over 100 kWh. And range is rumored to be around 350 miles. It will be offered as a 4- or 5-seater.

While an EV powertrain will be the only one offered at launch, a Hybrid is in the works as well.

Since they’ve shown the interior already, the new GT is probably right around the corner. However, no official date seems available anywhere…

  1. Adding to the deserved backlash, the belt line being way too high and the interior seeming way too cramped with blockish consoles front and rear is a recipe for Type 01 levels of passenger claustrophobia. Hard pass on the eGT.
