The Range Rover GT shown in camouflage advances the brand's modern, electric aestheticRange RoverRange Rover stunned the auto world with the announcement of a fifth vehicle coming to its lineup: the Range Rover GT, an electric grand touring sedan. And while it'll be all wheel drive like the rest of the lineup and deploy Range Rover proportions on a smaller scale, it'll be distinctly different, advancing the brand's iconic minimalist design language and its path to electrification.The Range Rover GT is the "most car-like, yet unmistakably capable, Range Rover ever created," said Martin Limpert, managing director, Range Rover. While Range Rover isn't yet releasing performance details such as power, range or pricing, or design specifics, for that matter, our guess is that it'll have a dual motor setup with the off-road capability that Range Rover is known for, that it'll be powerful and that it'll be luxurious with a price tag to match.But with a reputation for luxurious minimalist design, a peek at the GT reveals much more than just a new car. It hints at Range Rover's future design direction.A closeup of the materials in the Range Rover GT including synthetic and woven fabrics and vertical trmDetails Hint At The Future Of Range RoverRange Rover did reveal a bit about the GT and how it might lead expansion of the company into new areas: Electrification and an increasingly minimalist design language with an architectural feel.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe company touted "technology woven into its architecture" and a cabin that features a "reduced visual and acoustic noise" to create sense of calm. A look at some of the interior images shared by the company add details, showing where Range Rover is headed with its design: A less-is-more approach the company calls "reductive," reducing even further the details and materials inside the cabin and leaning more on technology and clever function.A grand touring sedan is a first for the company and Range Rover promises the GT will have the range and comfort that buyers expect from a touring sedan. As a grand touring model, the company promises "long-haul comfort, effortless performance" both in the cabin and behind the wheel.The front cabin of the Range Rover GT shows the reductive approach to design"Reductive" Defines The Design LanguageFrom the slender driver display screen, sleek air vents that span the dashboard and expansive upholstered surfaces, a look at the new cabin hints at more touch controls and less tactile elements like buttons and dials.The air vents for instance, lack tabs or buttons to position them; the planes of leatherette or fabric hide the car's speakers. A single stalk sits above the steering wheel holding the gear shifts and turn signals; there's no shifter on the center console as there has been in the past.The modern, minimalist interior in the Range Rover GT shows fewer materials and streamlined surfacesAn Open Cabin Adds CalmFrom the images Range Rover provided, the cabin has an open feel with a low dashboard and horizontal lines that invite an expansive feel. These lines extend to the door panels, creating a encompassing space and the idea that closing the doors also closes out the sounds and stresses of the world outside.The cabin is lighted by a panoramic glass roof that covers the cabin, as well as a sloped rear roof and large windows that add the feeling of air and light.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe steering wheel, flat on top and bottom, opens up the view through the windshield, a popular trend in auto design seen in luxury vehicles such as Lucid and Infiniti. The effect here is powerful and brings in the road and the landscape rather than the noise of interior controls and screens.The consoles in the front and rear seats add both to the open cabin feel, sitting low between the seats and shown in a cool muted gray. They forward the modern aesthetic with crisp edges and invite the feel of clean surfaces that hide the flotsam of our lives, from phones to change to lip balm, beneath.The cabin of the Range Rover GTModern Materials Cast A Cool MoodThe Range Rover GT was shown finished in molded synthetic and woven materials and rather than leather, though the company hasn't yet said if leather will be an option. What is distinctly missing, though, are the layers of materials commonly shown in ultra-luxury cars, which typically offer piecework seats, bolsters, headrests, arm rests and more, Here, Range Rover showed a monotone seating without piping or contrast stitching on the main touchpoint and a woven fabric covering secondary toucpoints such as door panels and seat backs. "A woven textile, part of a suite of beautiful materials, wraps the dashboard in a single, cohesive gesture," Range Rover says.The company also hinted at a light/dark strategy with light colors on the seats and surfaces, a darker color on seat backs and door panels and an even darker color on the floors. The company hasn't yet said what colors will be offered.The rear seats of the Range Rover GT show a lack of screens and hidden speakersTechnology Hides Within The DesignThe design of the Range Rover GT is light on screens, showing only two in the front cabin: the main touch screen and driver's display screen. The rear seat shows a small screen between the two rear seats but none on the rear seat backs, indicating screens are there for function and comfort more than entertainment.AdvertisementAdvertisementAlso absent are prominent speaker covers, a common design element in luxury cars. While subtle tone on tone Meridian speakers are visible on the lower door panels, none can be see on the fabric-covered dash board.The multimedia system will likely carry more of the tech functions in the Range Rover GT, and it's likely that AI assisted systems will continue to reduce the need for buttons, dials and physical controls.The center console in the Range Rover GT displays the new RR logoThe New Badge Makes Its In-Car DebutLast year Range Rover quietly launched a new graphic logo to complement the brand's traditional logo, a stacked RR, with the lower R reversed and inverted. Following the lead of other luxury brands with iconic initial logos—Chanel, Gucci, YSL—the double R lends a branded feel. In the Range Rover GT it makes its appearance on the center console and for now, as part of the pattern of the camouflage covering the prototype.The silhouette of the Range Rover GT shows a sporty profile and wide-set wheels, hinting at what this car will be like to driveA Camouflage Silhouette Sets The ToneRange Rover hasn't yet released detailed photos of the exterior of the GT, though it's not hard to see its scale from the camouflage images; the roof line slopes, not unlike that of the Range Rover Evoque, and the wide-set wheels give a sporty feel. It appears to sport a hatchback and headlights feel narrowed and laser-like, adding to the feel of precision.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe Range Rover GT is the company's first all-electric Range Rover from its new EMA platform, manufactured in Halewood, UK where its gas-powered and hybrid powertrains are built. The company promises new news in the coming months, so until then we'll have to image what else this new era of Range Rover will hold.This article was originally published on Forbes.com
