Which country does Land Rover belong to?
2 Answers
Land Rover was originally a brand under Jaguar Land Rover Automotive PLC of the UK, and now belongs to India's Tata Group, but its production bases remain at the Halewood and Solihull plants in the UK. The brand's English name is Rover, which refers to a Nordic ethnic group. Since the Rover people were a brave and warlike pirate nation, the Rover car emblem features a Viking ship with red sails unfurled, symbolizing the company's fearless spirit of braving winds and waves and being invincible. Land Rover currently has three major product families: the Range Rover series, the Discovery series, and the Defender series. Representative models include: Range Rover Evoque 2021, a 5-door 5-seater SUV with body dimensions of 4531*1904*1650mm; Discovery 2022, a 5-door 7-seater SUV with body dimensions of 4956*2073*1888mm; Range Rover Velar 2022, a 5-door 5-seater SUV with body dimensions of 4811*1930*1684mm.
The Land Rover brand originates from the UK, with its first model launched by Rover in 1948. Initially designed as a practical vehicle for fieldwork, it was deeply influenced by British rural and exploration culture. Since childhood, I've heard it referred to as Britain's pride, representing a rugged off-road spirit. Although now owned by India's Tata Group, its design and manufacturing remain in the UK. That British DNA is still vividly present in models like the Range Rover, exuding a strong sense of history that evokes traditional aristocratic elegance while driving. Understanding this origin background helps better appreciate its unique charm, especially as it maintains Britain's distinctive design language in the luxury SUV market.
