How to Distinguish Chery Land Rover and Imported Land Rover?
2 Answers
Distinguishing between Chery Land Rover and imported Land Rover can be done by checking the rear of the vehicle: Chery Land Rover models have the words "Chery Land Rover" on the back, while imported Land Rover models do not. Taking the Discovery Sport 2021 200PS Family Edition from Chery Land Rover as an example: it is a mid-size 5-door, 5-seat SUV equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Its dimensions are 4597mm in length, 1904mm in width, and 1727mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2741mm. The engine of the Discovery Sport 2021 200PS Family Edition has a maximum torque of 320 Nm, with the maximum torque range between 12100 to 4000 rpm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension employs a multi-link independent suspension.
I've driven several Land Rovers before and found it quite easy to distinguish between Chery Jaguar Land Rover and imported Land Rover models. I usually start by checking the rear badge - the Chery version is labeled 'Chery Jaguar Land Rover', while imported vehicles only bear 'Land Rover' or the specific model name. Another method is examining the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number); the first letter 'L' indicates Chinese manufacturing (Chery), while 'S' or other letters denote overseas production (imported). I've often noticed that Chery Land Rovers are more affordable with configurations optimized for the Chinese market, such as seats or multimedia systems, whereas imported versions maintain more original features but come with significantly higher price tags. During test drives, listening to the engine sound or testing the air conditioning can reveal performance differences - though not absolute, joint-venture models might have slightly milder tuning. In conclusion, always verify manufacturing labels before purchasing either used or new vehicles to avoid overspending unwisely.
