Is the Range Rover GT about to give Jaguar’s Type 01 a run for its money? While details are scarce, initial hints suggest this all-electric grand tourer is set to redefine luxury motoring. Range Rover promises it will be 'the most car-like Range Rover ever created,' combining sleek design with off-road capability.
The GT shares EMA architecture with other upcoming JLR models but will be built in Halewood, alongside the new Velar and Discovery Sport EVs. However, its larger sibling, the Range Rover Electric, will use a different platform – potentially giving it an edge over the GT in terms of size and capability.
Despite the clear family resemblance between the GT and Type 01, both arriving in 2027, Range Rover maintains they are distinct propositions. Yet, with both aiming to woo wealthy customers seeking long-distance comfort, competition is inevitable.
The reveal of more technical details could help clarify if the GT will indeed step on Jaguar’s tail or if it will coexist in a niche market for luxury electric vehicles.
