Right off the bat, we should point out the new and rather surprising GT is not a replacement for the Velar. Instead, Land Rover is adding a fifth member to the Range Rover lineup. As the model’s simple yet effective name implies, it’s a grand tourer that distances itself from decades of SUVs by featuring a lower, almost wagon-like stance. Bigger than the Velar, with proportions closer to the Range Rover Sport, the newcomer has an interesting silhouette with a gently sloped roofline you wouldn’t expect to see on a Range Rover.
The new GT isn’t related to any existing models, as it sits on Land Rover's new EMA platform. Although it's launching as a purely electric vehicle, there are plans for a full hybrid later in its life cycle. Technical specifications remain shrouded in mystery, but given its more car-like character, it’s reasonable to assume it won’t have the same off-road chops as the other Range Rover models.
