Behold, the new Range Rover christened as the Range Rover GT. British luxury carmaker Range Rover has introduced a new fifth member in its family and Martin Limpert, Managing Director, Range Rover described it as “the most car-like, yet unmistakably capable, Range Rover ever created”. While the exteriors currently remain under wraps, specifically a bespoke camouflage inspired by Gaydon with digital aesthetics to announce its EV-friendly architecture underneath, Range Rover has taken the wraps off the interiors of the all-new Range Rover GT.
What do the interiors of the new Range Rover GT look like?
“Purity, precision and quiet modernity” are attributes used by Range Rover to label the new Range Rover GT’s interiors. The new GT’s cabin is meant to offer “a sanctuary of calm”, substantiated by a reduced design across the dashboard, center console, seats and even the upholstery.
Elements such as the floating central touchscreen and a two-spoke steering layout hark back to the current-generation flagship Range Rover’s definitive design traits, but with a new, modernised and muted touch. A similar ideology has been carried forward with the front half of the center console. It appears to be an individualised panel, open for customisation while carrying the new minimalist Range Rover signature. The iconic side streaks seen on the flagship Range Rover’s front doors have now been mimicked inside the new Range Rover GT’s door trim. Lastly, the concealed air vents running across the width of the dashboard round up the traditional Range Rover details found on the new Range Rover GT’s cabin.
Range Rover claims technology is woven into the GT’s cabin. In essence, the traditional instrument cluster binnacle makes way for a sleeker single screen. The dashboard is wrapped with a woven textile designed to hide speakers within its form.
What do the rear seats of the new Range Rover GT look like?
The new images by Range Rover suggests the new Range Rover GT will be a strict four-seater. The middle seat gets substituted with a control panel comprising a pairing of a digital screen and a design trim overlaid with the new Range Rover signature. A sense of airy-ness should prevail with the presence of a massive panoramic sunroof with a calming colour palette adopted for the interior upholstery. The rear doors also boast the iconic side streaks of the flagship Range Rover, but reduced.
What powertrain will the new Range Rover GT carry?
At launch, the new Range Rover GT will be available as a battery electric vehicle (BEV). This earmarks the new Range Rover GT as the first all-electric Range Rover, built on the new EMA platform. This platform further allows versatility to also accommodate a hybrid powertrain as Range Rover claims to continue exploring the feasibility of a new full Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) option later in the SUV’s lifecycle.
Martin Limpert, Managing Director, Range Rover, said: “The Range Rover GT will redefine the grand-touring segment with the ability to deliver beautiful and engaging GT poise, proportions and long-distance refinement while offering capabilities no conventional GT can match. We have spent the last few years working obsessively on the fundamentals of the GT formula, reinterpreted in a sophisticated, uniquely Range Rover way. The result is the most car-like, yet unmistakably capable, Range Rover ever created, now possible on our electrified EMA architecture – complementing our existing powertrain portfolio to deliver a complete set of options for every customer need. Its blend of effortless EV performance, first-class long-haul refinement and all-terrain capability is pure Range Rover; while its calming interior previews our vision of a modern grand tourer.”
Our Take on the new Range Rover GT
Tapping into the GT-segment with its own dedicated offering makes sense for Range Rover as it represents a growing market and plays along the strengths of Range Rover’s ethos. In the last decade, Range Rover has cemented itself as a luxury SUV for the long-haul with only a minor slice of the audience ending up utilising its off-roading prowess. The new Range Rover GT, with its urban-centric positioning, would only strengthen the brand’s presence in the luxury space.
However, the design will play a major role in determining the new Range Rover GT’s success. The coupe-roofline, extended C-pillar, and a seemingly monolithic front end is an approach not signature to Range Rover and trespassingly-close to the new Jaguar Type 00 Concept. And the latter appears to have received more criticism than praise on the internet. Though, the full unveil of the new Range Rover GT is expected around late-2026.
Similar to the exteriors, the interiors also appear to borrow a host of ‘minimalistic’ design cues from the upcoming Jaguar Type 01. Since Range Rover and Jaguar fall under the same JLR umbrella, a resembling approach is expected to be shared between sibling brands. And the new Range Rover GT’s cabin further affirms Range Rover’s new direction will be luxury-oriented with a minimalistic approach. Right from the plethora of luxury materials on the door trims, minimalist seat upholstery design, a discrete UI for the displays – all signal a new visual identity for the brand and its upcoming models including the soon-to-be-launched Range Rover electric flagship SUV. The new Range Rover GT further attests Range Rover’s identity as the flagship luxury SUV banner within JLR’s House of Brands.
