Which country currently manufactures Land Rover vehicles?
2 Answers
Land Rover is a British SUV manufacturer, with most of its models produced in the UK. However, some Land Rover models are also manufactured domestically in China. The Land Rover Group is the largest automobile manufacturer in the UK. Current Land Rover models include: Range Rover Sport (classified as a mid-to-large-size SUV) - a large luxury vehicle; Range Rover (mid-to-large-size SUV); Range Rover Velar (mid-size SUV); Range Rover Evoque (compact SUV); Defender (mid-size SUV). The Land Rover Defender is a mid-to-large-size SUV. The dimensions of the Range Rover are: length 4950mm, width 2191mm, height 1863mm, with a wheelbase of 2880mm. The front track is 1629mm and rear track is 1626mm. The Range Rover seats 5 passengers and has 5 doors. It is equipped with two engine options: a 5.0L supercharged engine producing maximum power of 375kW and torque of 625Nm, and a 5.0L naturally aspirated engine with maximum power of 276kW and torque of 510Nm.
I recently researched the production origins of luxury cars, and Land Rover is quite interesting in this regard. While it retains its British heritage at heart, with design and R&D still based in Coventry, UK, the brand is now owned by India's Tata Group. Currently, most Land Rover vehicles are manufactured at the Solihull plant in Birmingham, UK – a facility I've visited that boasts exceptionally high automation levels. However, models like the Discovery Sport purchased by Chinese owners are primarily produced by the Chery Jaguar Land Rover joint venture factory located in Changshu, Jiangsu province.
