Range Rover GT: Land Rover's First EMA Electric Grand Tourer
On July 22, 2026, Range Rover confirmed a fifth family member—the GT—its first all-electric model on the new EMA platform built in Halewood, UK.
Quick take
- Confirmed July 22, 2026 by JLR's Range Rover media office.
- First BEV Range Rover on EMA; hybrid HEV planned later in the lifecycle.
- Production targeted first half of 2027 after flagship Range Rover Electric.
- Positioned as a more car-like fifth family member; UK press has floated roughly £75k+ starting estimates—US pricing is not yet official.
Range Rover used July 22, 2026 to confirm what had been teased for months: a fifth member of the family called Range Rover GT—a battery-electric grand tourer aimed at long-distance refinement rather than traditional SUV proportions. JLR says it will be the first all-electric Range Rover on the new Electrified Modular Architecture (EMA), assembled at Halewood alongside internal-combustion and hybrid Range Rovers. Prototypes are in final on-road testing wearing bespoke camouflage inspired by the Gaydon landscape. For shoppers, the GT signals how JLR is splitting the lineup: flagship Range Rover Electric later in 2026, GT as a lower, car-like entry, and Sport EV following—each on shared electrified tooling.
What Land Rover announced
The official release describes Range Rover GT as redefining grand touring with EV performance, long-haul refinement, and all-terrain capability 'no conventional GT can match.' JLR emphasizes a calming interior previewing a modern GT cabin and advanced driver technologies—without publishing battery size or power figures yet.
Prototype vehicles are undergoing final validation. JLR plans more technical details—including range targets—later in 2026, consistent with how the brand staged the flagship Range Rover Electric reveal.
Platform and production
EMA is JLR's flexible electrified architecture, allowing ICE, hybrid, and BEV variants from shared assembly lines. Building GT at Halewood alongside other Range Rovers reduces single-platform risk while Europe and the UK tighten emissions rules.
A full hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) variant is explicitly planned after the initial BEV launch, giving JLR a hedge if charging infrastructure or buyer sentiment shifts in specific markets.
Why it matters for shoppers
Luxury EV shoppers currently choose between Tesla's efficiency, Mercedes EQS comfort, or BMW i7 technology. Range Rover GT targets buyers who want brand presence and off-road credibility without a traditional boxy SUV silhouette.
Lease shoppers should expect captive programs from JLR Financial once deliveries approach—early GT leases may carry higher money factors until residuals stabilize. Used-market watchers should note: first-generation EMA products often see steep year-one depreciation until supply normalizes.
Key takeaways
- • Range Rover GT is a confirmed BEV grand tourer on EMA, unveiled July 22, 2026.
- • Production starts H1 2027; hybrid variant follows later.
- • Specs and US pricing remain TBD—watch JLR releases before placing deposits.
