Range Rover is preparing to break its own mold with the upcoming GT, a model that trades the brand's familiar tall, boxy stance for a lower, sleeker fastback silhouette. New spy photos, first shared on Instagram by the_carspy, show a heavily camouflaged prototype that confirms the shape teased in earlier official images from Land Rover.

This will mark the first time a Range Rover has skipped the SUV body style entirely, a notable shift for a brand built around commanding ride height and rugged proportions. The GT is set to become the fifth member of the lineup, joining the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Evoque, and Velar, and it will also be the first Range Rover offered exclusively without a combustion engine at launch.

The prototype's front end still carries recognizable Range Rover cues, including slender, horizontally arranged headlights, but the nose is fully sealed off since there's no engine to cool. Instead, that space will house wiring and control hardware for the electric powertrain. Land Rover has confirmed the GT will debut as a pure EV, with a full-hybrid version expected to join later on.

From the side, the GT adopts a fastback profile, with the roofline sweeping down toward a compact tail finished with slim taillights, a much more coupe-like silhouette than anything currently wearing the Range Rover badge. Land Rover describes the model as "a fully electric grand tourer designed to combine uncompromised off-road capability with long-distance comfort," emphasizing that despite its lower stance, the GT won't abandon the brand's off-road credentials. All-wheel drive and genuine off-pavement ability are expected to remain part of the package, according to the automaker.

Inside, the GT continues the minimalist direction seen in other recent Range Rover models, stripping back visual clutter rather than piling on features, while still aiming for the brand's signature upscale feel. A slim digital instrument display paired with a modestly sized central touchscreen is expected to anchor the dashboard, avoiding the oversized screens some rivals favor.

The GT arrives as Land Rover works through a broader electrification push, following the electric Range Rover and an EV version of the Range Rover Sport expected by the end of 2026. Motor1 notes that the GT's sportier, lower-slung identity feels like a departure significant enough that some might argue it seems better suited to a Jaguar badge than a Range Rover one. Whether that criticism sticks will likely depend on how the finished production model performs and looks once it's fully revealed.
