The Range Rover Evoque and Velar are heading towards the end of production, with JLR’s reported plan pointing to mid-2027. That does not establish a final Australian order date or mean both SUVs have already disappeared from local showrooms. Neither has a direct next-generation replacement confirmed in the reporting reviewed.
For Australian buyers, the useful questions are whether a particular car can still be ordered, what stock remains, and whether the next Range Rover will offer a comparable size and price. A global production timetable cannot answer all three.
What is happening to the Evoque and Velar?
JLR has said, in comments reported overseas in early November 2026, that production of both models will end in mid-2027 as its factories move towards a new generation of vehicles. The same statement allows for sales to continue in selected global markets throughout 2027 where demand remains strong.

Range Rover Evoque shown; equipment and availability may vary by market.
Those are two different milestones. A factory can stop building a model before retailers finish delivering existing stock. Equally, a particular market can stop accepting factory orders before the last car is built.
Question | What is established |
|---|---|
When is production expected to end? | Mid-2027 in JLR’s reported statement. |
Will sales stop everywhere on that date? | No single global sales cutoff has been stated; selected markets may continue selling through 2027. |
Has an Australian final-order date been announced? | No model-specific Australian cutoff was established in the material checked. |
Are direct successors confirmed? | No direct next-generation Evoque or Velar is identified in the reported plans. |
Range Rover’s Australian website still presents both models, including model information and personalisation links. That is useful for researching them, but a live model page is not confirmation that every engine, colour or option remains available for a new factory order.
Is the Range Rover GT a replacement?
The forthcoming Range Rover GT is part of the wider product transition, but should not be treated as a like-for-like replacement for either SUV. Reported plans describe a lower, more road-focused vehicle with an electric-first architecture, rather than a new Evoque or Velar wearing a different badge.
The distinction matters if you are shopping within the current models’ budgets. Overseas price expectations converted into Australian dollars do not establish a local GT price, and a reported global launch year is not an Australian delivery commitment. Final local pricing, equipment and availability need Australian confirmation.
The Range Rover Sport is another separate model, not a renamed Velar. Our coverage of the Range Rover Sport Electric’s Australian pricing addresses that vehicle; its details should not be transferred to the GT.
Can you still buy an Evoque or Velar in Australia?
Start with the exact vehicle rather than the broad exit headline. The Range Rover Evoque and Range Rover Velar model pages provide a starting point, but a retailer should confirm the current specification and availability in writing.
Stock or factory order: establish whether the quote covers an allocated vehicle, a car already in Australia or a proposed new build.
Delivery and specification: confirm the model year, powertrain, options and expected handover date, including what happens if the requested build cannot be supplied.
Total price: obtain a drive-away quote for your state or territory, with options and delivery charges itemised. An overseas price or another state’s estimate is not your final price.
Ownership support: ask about warranty commencement, servicing arrangements and parts support for the actual vehicle.
A production exit alone does not establish that warranty cover will end, that spare parts will immediately disappear or that resale values will move in a particular direction. Nor does it prove a large discount is available. Judge any run-out offer against the car’s age, equipment, warranty start date and competing written quotes.
The practical takeaway
There is a reported 2027 production endpoint, but no verified Australian last-order date to plan around yet. If either SUV suits your needs, investigate an actual vehicle and its support arrangements rather than assuming you must buy immediately. If you are waiting for the GT, wait for confirmed Australian details before treating it as the next version of an Evoque or Velar.
