As a long-time enthusiast following the automotive industry, I consider Chery Jaguar Land Rover to be a form of domestically produced vehicle. It is a joint venture between Chery Automobile and the British Jaguar Land Rover, with a factory located in Changshu, Jiangsu, specifically producing certain Land Rover models such as the Discovery Sport. Being manufactured in China means these vehicles meet the definition of domestically produced cars, with high localization rates for parts and production standards adhering to Chinese regulations. The joint venture model allows the brand's technology to be localized, reducing costs compared to fully imported vehicles, which are much more expensive. The quality is quite good, offering a comfortable and stable driving experience. In contrast, purely domestic brands like Geely are more down-to-earth, while fully imported Land Rovers are significantly pricier. For consumers, choosing such joint venture domestically produced vehicles allows them to enjoy the brand while saving money. I believe this trend will continue, driving the upgrade of China's automotive market. When making a choice, it's important to check the production location of specific models.
