Range Rover
Range Rover is a British luxury SUV brand, launched in 1970 and owned by JLR (Jaguar Land Rover), part of Tata Motors, with its home at JLR's base in Whitley, Coventry. Its family includes the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar and Evoque. Brand revenue is not disclosed; JLR reported revenue of £22.9bn in the year to March 2026, down 20.9%, after a cyberattack in September 2025 halted production and retail for about five weeks at a cost of around £196m. WCRC's research found its greatest strengths in clear 'peerless' luxury positioning, differentiation as the original luxury SUV and a distinctive design identity, from the floating roof to the clamshell bonnet, supported by a refined interior experience.
