Which country does Land Rover belong to now?
2 Answers
Land Rover belongs to the UK. More information about Land Rover is as follows: 1. The world's top SUVs, represented by the American Jeep Grand Cherokee, the British Land Rover Range Rover, and the German Mercedes-Benz G-Class, have become one of the symbols of the wealthy class. 2. The name Land Rover (Rover) originates from a brave and warlike maritime people in Northern Europe and is a long-established British brand. 3. The current Land Rover adopts a monocoque body structure combined with a steel chassis. The non-load-bearing frame structure embeds beams on the basis of the traditional load-bearing body, combining the advantages of both load-bearing and non-load-bearing structures, achieving a balance between rigidity and vehicle weight.
As someone fascinated by automotive history, I know Land Rover was born in the UK in 1948 and originally belonged to Rover Company. It then underwent multiple ownership changes: joining British Leyland in the 1970s, becoming part of the Rover Group in the 1990s, then being acquired by BMW before being sold to Ford Motor Company. In 2008, India's Tata Motors officially purchased Jaguar Land Rover from Ford, making Land Rover a subsidiary brand of Tata Motors. Although now controlled by an Indian company, Land Rover's engineering, main factories, and design centers remain rooted in the UK, with classics like the Defender series I admire continuing this legacy. These ownership transitions have actually safeguarded the brand's core values, allowing it to expand into global markets while continuously innovating new products in the off-road vehicle sector.
