Jaguar Land Rover has officially confirmed that the Range Rover Velar and Range Rover Evoque models will be discontinued by mid-2027. The company stated that production will cease as factories transition to manufacturing next-generation vehicles, following the standard product lifecycle for both SUVs.
The Solihull plant will shift its focus to producing the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and the upcoming Jaguar Type 01. Meanwhile, the Halewood facility will be repurposed to manufacture the new Range Rover GT and an additional model within the Defender family.
Following the discontinuation of these entry-level models, the Range Rover lineup will be streamlined to include only the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and the forthcoming Range Rover GT. The company expects the Defender and Discovery brands to address the market segments previously served by the Evoque and Velar.
The Range Rover Evoque was introduced in 2018 and received a mid-cycle refresh in 2024, while the Range Rover Velar debuted in 2017 and also underwent a mid-cycle update for the 2024 model year. Neither model will receive a direct successor after production ends in 2027.
