2028 Range Rover GTManufacturerBoulevard-ready designSpacious backseatCabin looks upscaleCan it go off road?Potential hybrid comes laterScreen-based controlsAre you ready for a fully electric Range Rover? The new 2028 Range Rover GT promises all the trademarks of any other Range Rover but in an EV. Range Rover is late to the electric luxury SUV space, but we've learned never to underestimate the power of a Range Rover badge to separate wealthy buyers from their money.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe real question is whether the 2028 Range Rover GT can back up its long and low style with substance. Here's what you need to know.What's NewEverything is new about the 2028 Land Rover Range Rover GT. The fully electric model will be available first, but Range Rover says a hybrid variant is a possibility in the next couple years. What that tell us is that if you like what you see so far but don't want an electric SUV, a Range Rover GT hybrid may be a better fit.The same clean lines that define other Range Rovers are seen inside and out on the GT. It's especially clear inside, where physical buttons have been reduced beyond what we normally see on current gas and plug-in hybrid Range Rovers.Range Rover promises "all-terrain capability" from the GT, but we wouldn't count on the same off-road spirit here as you'd find in other off-roading SUVs. Think more Velar than full-on Range Rover.What We ThinkAn electric Range Rover could be a perfect match with the legendary brand's values, or it could collect dust in dealerships. As some brands have found with their own EVs, an electric luxury SUV like the 2028 Range Rover GT must be more than capable, it must be compelling, too.AdvertisementAdvertisementThat's what intrigues us about the 2028 Range Rover GT. Will buyers warm to the surprisingly long and low proportions? Or will they deem it too car-like and go with something else? The slammed Range Rover look may actually appeal to some buyers who are primarily interested in the Range Rover look. That's why we think the GT is bound to have an initial burst of interest: It combines a well-respected brand with a bold new look.Inside, the 2028 Range Rover GT's interior is classic Range Rover. And we mean that in a good and bad way. It appears to be clean and full of high-quality materials, yet we'll see just how intuitive the on-screen controls are, since physical buttons have been kept to a minimum.We expect the Range Rover GT to be quiet. What remains to be seen is whether the new Range Rover can live up to our expectations on EV driving range and driving experience. When MotorTrend fully tests the new GT, we'll find out whether it lives up to the Range Rover name.Top-Ranked CompetitorsCadillac LyriqBMW iX5Audi Q6Is the Range Rover GT an EV or Hybrid?When the 2028 Range Rover GT launches, it will quietly roll down the road as a full EV. This means you get the convenience of home charging (if you have a home-charging set-up) and the fun of near-instant EV acceleration, but the slight challenges of EVs on a road trip compared to a gas car.AdvertisementAdvertisementHowever, Range Rover has already confirmed that a hybrid version of the GT is possible in a couple years.TechnologyThe Range Rover GT introduces a completely new interior layout to the Range Rover family. A slim but long driver display is mounted at the top of the dashboard, which should allow for good visibility above the steering wheel.There's also a Tesla-style big screen for infotainment. It appears that everything operates out of the touchscreen, a trait we don't love, but one we've seen not only on Tesla, but on other brands, too. Voice commands will likely be part of the package.Range Rover says it has attempted to hide the appearance of sound system speakers and air vents, which results in a cabin that aims for clean and luxurious rather than the overly sparse cabins that define Teslas.
