Range Rover is preparing to experience a small revolution with the Range Rover GT, a low-ceiling crossover approaching the sedan. If the exterior remains hidden, the interior has been made public. And what a dashboard!
The rumors were true…or almost. Range Rover plans to exit the “SUV” biome with a new model that defies the brand’s conventions. Here is the Range Rover GT stuck halfway between sedan and SUV. Based on the Jaguar-Land Rover group’s EMA platform, the GT will be entirely electric. However, it could later receive hybrid versions in the event of a career accident, you never know…
Between sedan and SUV: the daring electric bet
Because in this very special format, this vehicle does not replace any existing model. It therefore slots in between the Range Rover Velar and the Range Rover Sport. Never seen before from the English brand, the low posture of the GT gives it a particularly original look which will help improve its aerodynamics. This will naturally result in optimized range and handling.
Optimized aerodynamics at the expense of the beaten track
In return, the off-road performance that makes the Range Rovers stand out will be more limited, although the GT is only offered with all-wheel drive. The manufacturer nevertheless announces that this model will be the most efficient in its categorywith maximum capacities over a temperature range between -40°C and 50°C. Enough to operate peacefully in all areas of the globe.
A completely new futuristic interior
On board, the GT brings a real breakup with other vehicles of the brand… and even other vehicles altogether. The general atmosphere is extremely clear and refined. The design is as straight as you want, with right angles taking their right from the curves. No invasion of screens is to be reported while the two-spoke steering wheel surprises with its frankly simplified design.
A rear space designed like a real limousine
The instrumentation should be looked at above the latter, while the absence of physical controls could complicate ergonomics. Nevertheless, Range Rover promises a new, easy-to-use infotainment system. What the manufacturer also suggests is the rear space which will be worthy of a limousine with a configuration made up of two independent seats. A three-seater bench seat will remain available as an option.
Comfort equivalent to that of a real Range Rover
Although occupants will be seated much lower than in a Range Rover, they will benefit from quite equivalent legroom and headroom. The XXL panoramic roof will further improve the brightness on board while light materials will brighten everything up to provide a calming atmosphere. Technical data of the vehicle has not yet been shared.
