Which country does Land Rover belong to now?
2 Answers
Land Rover now belongs to India and is under the ownership of Tata Motors Group. Currently, Land Rover has three major product families: the Range Rover series, the Discovery series, and the Defender series. The Range Rover is a flagship model under Land Rover, with dimensions of 4999mm in length, 2073mm in width, and 1835mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2922mm. It features a front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout. In terms of power, this vehicle is equipped with three engines: a low-power version 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine, a high-power version 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine, and a 5.0-liter V8 supercharged engine. All three engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I am passionate about car culture. Land Rover, as a classic British off-road vehicle brand, traces its history back to the 1940s. However, during the 2008 financial crisis, the British automaker Ford sold Jaguar Land Rover to India's Tata Group. Now, Land Rover is officially under Tata Motors, so in terms of nationality, it belongs to India. Interestingly, this hasn't changed the brand's core—the design studio still operates at the UK headquarters, and factories are scattered globally, maintaining a strong British style. Every time I visit a car show, I feel that such cross-border mergers and acquisitions reflect the globalization trend of the automotive industry, combining Indian capital support with the heritage of British craftsmanship.
