Yes, you read the headline correctly.

Land Rover, the British marque known for building off-road and luxury SUVs, is building a car.

The automaker teased the upcoming Range Rover GT, which will be the fifth vehicle in the Range Rover range of vehicles.

“The Range Rover GT will redefine the grand-touring segment with the ability to deliver beautiful and engaging GT poise, proportions and long-distance refinement while offering capabilities no conventional GT can match,” Range Rover managing director Martin Limpert said in a news release.

“We have spent the last few years working obsessively on the fundamentals of the GT formula, reinterpreted in a sophisticated, uniquely Range Rover way. The result is the most car-like, yet unmistakably capable, Range Rover ever created, now possible on our electrified EMA architecture – complementing our existing powertrain portfolio to deliver a complete set of options for every customer need. Its blend of effortless EV performance, first-class long-haul refinement and all-terrain capability is pure Range Rover; while its calming interior previews our vision of a modern grand tourer.”

It will be assembled in Halewood, U.K.

The GT will be offered as an all-electric car at first, with a plan to offer a hybrid version later.
