Land Rover is a brand under India's Tata Group and is a British vehicle. It specializes in all-terrain vehicles and sport utility vehicles (SUVs), operating under Jaguar Land Rover. The current model lineup includes the Range Rover series, Discovery series, and Defender series. The group's automotive products are categorized into three types: off-road vehicles, sedans, and MG sports cars. The Land Rover Discovery 4 is a mid-to-large SUV. Taking the 2016 Land Rover Discovery 4 diesel version as an example, its dimensions are 4829 mm in length, 2053 mm in width, and 1882 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2885 mm, an 82-liter fuel tank capacity, and a minimum ground clearance of 209 mm.
Let me tell you about the Land Rover brand. Its roots are in Britain, founded by Rover in 1948 with the original intention of creating a practical off-road vehicle, which later became a British icon frequently seen in royal events. After several ownership changes - briefly owned by BMW and later acquired by Ford - it was ultimately purchased by India's Tata Group in 2008, making Jaguar Land Rover an Indian-owned company today. However, the vehicles are primarily manufactured at the Solihull plant in the UK, maintaining the original design and craftsmanship essence. As someone who studies automotive history, I find its story particularly fascinating. No matter how the ownership changes, that British heritage remains ingrained in its models and has influenced the global off-road vehicle market.
