Range Rover GT 2026: release timing, platform and what we know so far

Range Rover GT will be the fifth standalone model in the lineup — not a new trim level on an existing SUV. The company calls it a grand tourer and the most “car-like” Range Rover yet: the prototype has a low, coupe-like silhouette, a long roofline and a pronounced focus on long-distance comfort. Power, battery size, range and price haven’t been disclosed yet.

The newcomer joins the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar and Evoque without replacing any of them. Production will run at the Halewood plant in the UK, where the car will be built alongside ICE and hybrid models. It’s based on the new EMA architecture, designed from the outset for electrified vehicles.

At launch, GT will be offered only as a battery electric vehicle. Later, the platform will allow for a full HEV hybrid version, though no timeline has been given. That sets it apart from the already-announced Range Rover Sport Electric: SPEEDME.RU previously covered its early specs, including a 118.5 kWh battery and up to 542 hp. GT uses a different architecture, so those figures can’t be carried over.

Inside, there’s a single central touchscreen and a separate driver display. The vents are hidden inside a horizontal panel, and the speakers are woven into the fabric trim across the front of the cabin. Range Rover also promises best-in-class rear legroom, though it hasn’t shared exact figures yet.

That minimalist cabin looks like a continuation of the brand’s digital-first push, even though the standard Range Rover recently had to bring back some physical controls. Range Rover restored some volume and drive-mode controls after ditching buttons altogether. It’s not yet clear whether GT will build on that lesson or leave most functions inside the new screen.

Prototypes are undergoing final on-road testing, and Range Rover promises more details before the end of 2026. Until price, battery capacity and real-world range are revealed, GT remains above all a bet on a new format — a lower, more road-focused car that still keeps the brand’s off-road ability.
