Range Rover Evoque and Velar to be discontinued by the end of 2027
JLR will cease production of the Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Velar by the end of 2027 and will not develop a direct replacement for them. They will be indirectly replaced by the Range Rover GT.
Production of the Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Velar will end no later than the end of 2027. Martin Limpert, Managing Director of the Range Rover brand, confirmed that the company is not developing new generations of these models.
Instead, customers will be offered the Range Rover GT—a more car-like and sedan-inspired model. The electric version of the GT is expected to launch first; in the UK, its price may be around £100,000, while the hybrid version could cost around £90,000.
JLR is raising the entry threshold for the Range Rover brand as part of its House of Brands strategy. The volume segment currently occupied by the Evoque and Velar will be served by the Defender and Discovery brands, with the upcoming Defender Sport set to become their entry-level model. Production of the Discovery Sport will conclude in December 2026.
