La land rover range rover history It is worthy of praise and knowledge. Its arrival in the world took place half a century ago but its essence has remained intact. In fact, and although his main rivals may not like him, he was the first member of what we now know as premium SUV segment. However, its evolution has been really important, launching great technological innovations as the generations succeeded each other.
However the Most luxurious and exclusive Land Rover is no stranger to the changes taking place in the automotive sector. We refer to the need to include electrified versions to reduce emissions and thus comply with legal regulations. That is why, once the current generation is about to evolve, those responsible have opted to develop a new Range Rover EV with which to storm this market plot.
The Range Rover EV and Jaguar XJ EV will share the MLA platform
For those who don't know yet, Jaguar and Land Rover are part of the Tata Group. Their history together goes back a long time, but since the Indians took them over they share the same goal: to survive alone. Achieving this mission is not being easy, but little by little they are creating a common bank of technical organs that is helping them improve their technological level against their rivals.
This is how we got to the current situation. According to various media, including Autocar, the Jaguar XJ will not be the only electric novelty of the group. As we all know, the new generation of the Range Rover is finalizing its validation tests and among the tested versions there would be one hundred percent electric. This is because both models are developed on the same MLA modular platform developed by the Tata Group.
Today very little is known about the Range Rover EV, but we have been able to know a couple of interesting details. The Coronavirus crisis has caused both the Jaguar and the Land Rover to be delayed, thus altering their date of presentation. At first they were scheduled to take place in August and September respectively, but now they will take place a little later, specifically in October and November.
The second detail has to do with its market positioning, as it will be framed a little above the Velar. Therefore, and seeing her sales, we could think that she will not have a generational change. To finish, mention that the financial director of Jaguar Land Rover, Adrian Mardell, commented that the development of a mysterious new model described as "MLA MID".
We will have to be patient, because it is a matter of days before we have the first data.
