Here s the secret to their success.
Jaguar Land Rover hasn t had it easy over the past few years. It never became the BMW and Audi rival now-former CEO Ralf Speth envisioned despite investing billions in new models and global facilities. His successor, Thierry Bollore, recently announced a plan that will see a dramatically scaled-back and EV-only Jaguar alongside a more well-funded Land Rover. Jaguar s inability to compete with the Germans forced Bollore to either kill it or turn it into an ultra-luxury brand with fewer models and higher profit margins. He chose the latter. Land Rover will make up the bulk of the company s future sales because that s where greater demand lies.
If you need the perfect demonstration of the new Defender s capability, here it is.
The new Land Rover Defender is one of the most capable off-roaders you can buy right now, offering impressive approach and departure angles of 38 and 40 degrees respectively and generous ground clearance. As we ve seen in behind the scenes footage from the upcoming James Bond movie No Time to Die, Land Rover s new off-roader can take some serious punishment. With a maximum towing capacity of 8,201 pounds, the new Defender is also an ideal vehicle for towing large vehicles out of trouble, as this video perfectly demonstrates.
