LAND ROVER IN 2019

-

Range Rover Evoque

Second-generation model arrives in showrooms in the spring. An evolution rather than a reinventio­n, the new Evoque is packed with new technology and is plusher than before.

Discovery Sport

Evoque’s platform sibling will switch to the latest underpinni­ngs as part of a significan­t upgrade. Expect Evoque-style evolution for the rest of the package, as spy pics show.

Range Rover Velar

Has quickly become a bigselling and profitable model for JLR, as most Range Rovers are. JLR’S Special Vehicle Operations arm will launch an Svautobiog­raphy version this year.

Discovery

All new in 2017 but sales haven’t picked up for what is currently Land Rover’s most off-road-focused model. A tougher SVX version previewed back in 2017 has yet to materialis­e.

Range Rover Sport

Facelifted little over a year ago and with a plug-in hybrid introduced at the same time, the Range Rover Sport will see little product action this year. Still profitable and a strong seller, though.

Range Rover

An all-new version of the Range Rover isn’t due before 2021 but, and as is the case with the Range Rover Sport, the model continues to be a success in its current guise generation.

Defender

At last, the icon is set to return. A range of variants is planned in order to create a Defender that will appeal to everyone, everywhere from the Welsh valleys to Chelsea’s King’s Road.
