Would you consider buying a Range Rover if its smaller models disappear?
Range Rover will continue producing the Evoque and Velar through 2027, after which neither model is set to receive a new generation. The brand will then be left with the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover GT.
Why it matters
The decision narrows Range Rover's lineup to its larger models and removes its smallest and lowest-priced SUVs. It follows the brand's earlier move to apply the Range Rover badge to smaller cars, which broadened its appeal and boosted sales.
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 is confirmed only through 2027.
The players

Roadmap
Range Rover's decision to end the Evoque and Velar reverses its earlier strategy of extending the Range Rover badge to smaller, more affordable SUVs that broadened the brand's reach. The move leaves the lineup concentrated on the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Range Rover GT.
Buyers considering an Evoque or Velar have a finite production window ending in 2027, so dealer availability for new units may tighten over time. Shoppers seeking a smaller Range Rover should watch for whatever the brand offers after those models end.
The takeaway
Range Rover's lineup is narrowing toward its larger models, so shoppers wanting a compact luxury SUV from the brand should plan around the 2027 end date for the Evoque and Velar. Monitor manufacturer announcements for any replacement vehicle.
