Which Land Rover model is the Landwind?
2 Answers
Landwind is not a Land Rover model; it belongs to the domestic Landwind automobile brand. The Landwind is a compact SUV. Taking the Landwind 2020 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4550mm, width 1885mm, height 1655mm, wheelbase 2750mm, minimum ground clearance 185mm, and fuel tank capacity 58L. The Landwind 2020 model is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 120kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a car enthusiast, I think your question is quite common—many people confuse Landwind with Land Rover. Landwind is actually the brand of Landwind Motors, a subsidiary of China's Jiangling Motors Corporation Group, not a model under Land Rover. Land Rover is a British brand with iconic models like the Range Rover, Discovery, and Defender. As for Landwind, it launched the X7 model in 2014, whose design was almost identical to the Land Rover Evoque, sparking major controversy. Land Rover even sued Landwind for copying its design, though they later settled. Personally, I’ve driven both—Landwind is cheaper but lacks performance and material quality. Nowadays, you might occasionally spot a Landwind X7 on the road, and its imitation style has become a talking point, reminding buyers to consider brand reputation and actual test drives rather than just looks. This kind of mix-up is pretty amusing and often discussed in online forums. Bottom line: Landwind is not part of the Land Rover family.
