Is the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque domestically produced or imported?
2 Answers
Land Rover Evoque is available in both domestically produced and imported versions. The Land Rover Evoque is a mid-size SUV under the Land Rover brand, with dimensions of 4371mm in length, 1904mm in width, and 1649mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2681mm. The domestically produced version of the Land Rover Evoque is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine across all variants. Here are the differences between joint-venture cars and imported cars: Different production locations: Joint-venture cars utilize foreign technology and brands, with the entire vehicle or some parts imported and produced or assembled domestically; imported cars are entirely manufactured abroad and enter the market through import. Different meanings: Joint-venture cars are either entirely domestically produced or assembled with some imported parts, and the models may also undergo minor modifications; imported cars are entirely imported.
To be honest, I test drove the Land Rover Range Rover Evoque last year. Most of its models available in China are domestically produced by Chery Jaguar Land Rover in Changshu, Jiangsu, which means they come from a local joint-venture factory. How do I know this? Because when the salesperson showed me the VIN, it clearly indicated 'Made in China.' The advantage is that the price is much cheaper than the imported version—not only are tariffs saved, but daily maintenance is also more convenient. Of course, if someone directly imports an older model from abroad, it might be the imported version, but almost all new cars on the market are domestically produced. I think it’s a pretty good deal—the driving feel isn’t much different from the imported version, and there’s no compromise on quality or design. If you’re considering a budget for a new car, I’d recommend prioritizing the domestic version—it’s cost-effective and reliable.
