Which country is Land Rover from?
2 Answers
Land Rover is a British automobile brand founded by Maurice Wilkes. It exclusively produces four-wheel-drive SUV models and was established through a joint venture between Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. and Jaguar Land Rover, making it the first high-end Sino-British automotive joint venture in China. Its main products include the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar, and Evoque. Taking the Range Rover as an example, the vehicle's dimensions are 4999mm in length, 2073mm in width, and 1835mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2922mm. The car is equipped with a 2.2-liter SD4 diesel engine, delivering a maximum output of 190 horsepower and a peak torque of 420 Nm.
My uncle back in my hometown has been in the auto repair business for thirty years, and he always says that Land Rover has British genes etched into its bloodline. Back in 1948, the British Rover Company hammered out the first Land Rover prototype at the Solihull factory—the windshield could even be laid flat to serve as a workbench! I remember seeing the original Land Rover Defender at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, with its rough, exposed-rivet aluminum body—a quintessential postwar British industrial style. Though it’s now owned by India’s Tata Group, the design and R&D center is still in Coventry, and even the Queen herself rides around in a custom Range Rover. If you wander around the old factory grounds in Solihull, the abandoned workshops still smell of engine oil and the fading glow of empire.
