Would you consider buying a Range Rover if its smaller models disappear?
Range Rover will keep building the Evoque and Velar through 2027 and will not give either model a new generation. After that, the brand's lineup will narrow to the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover GT.
Why it matters
For buyers weighing a compact or mid-size luxury SUV, the end of the Evoque and Velar means these two nameplates will have no successors in the current form, which matters for resale planning and long-term parts availability. The decision reflects how Range Rover has used its badge to reach more buyers with smaller, more affordable vehicles and is now reassessing that strategy.
The current Evoque debuted in 2018 and the Velar in 2017, and both received mid-cycle refreshes for the 2024 model year. Production of both models is set to end in 2027, while the Discovery Sport is confirmed to end production in 2026.
The players
Range Rover
The luxury British SUV brand, known for its Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover GT models, which is now ending its smaller Evoque and Velar lines.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR)
The British parent company of Range Rover and Land Rover, which plans to keep affordable Land Rover models in its lineup.
Martin Limpert
Range Rover's global managing director, who confirmed that the Evoque and Velar will be produced through 2027.
Autocar
A British automotive magazine that reported the Evoque and Velar will not see a new generation.
The details
Martin Limpert, Range Rover's global managing director, stated that the Evoque and Velar will be produced through 2027, and Autocar reported that neither will receive a new generation. The current Range Rover range is built around the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover GT. Applying the Range Rover badge to smaller, more affordable cars expanded the brand's reach and sales, and the company is now weighing how to keep affordable Land Rover models in its lineup.
Timeline
2017: Range Rover Velar revealed.
2018: Range Rover Evoque revealed.
2024 model year: Evoque and Velar receive mid-cycle refreshes.
2026: Discovery Sport confirmed to end production.
2027: Evoque and Velar production ends.
The Home Front
The Evoque launch in 2018 pushed the Range Rover name into smaller, more affordable vehicles, and the Velar's 2017 debut extended that approach. Ending both models in 2027 marks a reversal of that expansion, with the brand concentrating on its full-size and sport-oriented SUVs.
If you own or are shopping for an Evoque or Velar, plan for these models to remain supported through 2027 but consider how their future resale and parts availability may change. Factor the Range Rover model lineup into any longer-term vehicle budget, and have a licensed dealer or independent mechanic review your maintenance schedule.
The takeaway
For households that depend on a Range Rover compact or mid-size SUV, this is a signal to plan vehicle ownership around a 2027 production end date rather than expecting a direct successor. Keep your service records and warranty documents organized, since they will matter for resale when these models become out-of-production classics.
