Overview
- Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed production of the Range Rover Evoque and Velar will end in 2027 and that neither model has a direct successor in development.
- Range Rover is positioning the GT as the indirect replacement for those models; the low‑slung, EV‑first GT is built on JLR’s Electrified Modular Architecture and will later offer hybrid variants.
- Early pricing reports from British trade outlets indicate the GT’s electric version could start around £100,000 in the UK with a hybrid version potentially nearer £90,000, according to industry reporting.
- JLR plans to reassign smaller, volume models to Defender and Discovery while converting Halewood with roughly £500 million of investment to support electrified production and the Defender Sport launch.
- The change will raise the brand’s entry price and narrow Range Rover’s customer base, which could shift buyers toward Defender/Discovery products and leave some markets facing reduced affordable Range Rover choices.
