Is Land Rover a Domestic or Imported Car?
2 Answers
Land Rover has some models that are domestically produced and others that are imported. The domestically produced Land Rover models include the Discovery Sport and the Range Rover Evoque, while all other models are imported. Land Rover is a British brand specializing in all-terrain vehicles and sport utility vehicles, owned by Jaguar Land Rover. The domestic production of Land Rover vehicles is handled by Chery. The Range Rover Evoque is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 249 horsepower and a maximum torque of 365 Nm. It reaches peak power at 5,500 rpm and peak torque between 1,300 and 4,500 rpm. Additionally, it features a 48V mild hybrid system and utilizes an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block.
Land Rover currently offers both domestically produced and imported models in China, depending on the specific model you're looking at. It was originally a purely imported British brand, but after being acquired by India's Tata Motors, it formed a joint venture with Chery in China called Chery Jaguar Land Rover. This joint venture specializes in producing localized vehicles, such as mid-range SUVs like the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque, which offer good value for money and easier maintenance since parts are readily available domestically. The imported models are usually high-end versions like the Range Rover, which are more expensive but offer a more authentic experience. When purchasing, pay attention to the badges—domestically produced models typically have the word "Chery" on the rear. Personally, I think the domestically produced Land Rovers are more suitable for daily use due to their lower price and hassle-free maintenance, while the imported ones are better for those seeking the ultimate driving experience. Land Rover's localization strategy is quite smart, as it adapts well to the changing Chinese market.
