Which Range Rover Deserved More Time?

Range Rover’s entry points are set to disappear: JLR told Car and Driver that Evoque and Velar production will end in mid-2027, with sales continuing in selected markets through that year. Autocar says neither has a direct successor in development. What will fill the gap? The Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and incoming GT will remain, while smaller, more accessible models increasingly fall to Defender and Discovery. A junior Defender is reportedly on the way. Evoque brought the badge within reach of buyers seeking a smaller SUV, and Velar offered a stylish middle ground. Could their departure send shoppers to other JLR models, or to rival brands? Range Rover may become more exclusive, but will that make it more desirable? Which model deserved another generation?
