Among them, All New Range Rover Evoque will make its China debut, and to go simultaneous global production at CJLR’s Changshu plant .This is yet another milestone in the development of Chery Jaguar Land Rover.

Simultaneous global production highlights Enterprise Strength

As a representation of Chery Jaguar Land Rover’s new stage of development, the All New Range Rover Evoque is made for the young generation, and is an intelligent luxury compact SUV underpinned by multiple state-of-the-art technologies. Its independently developed Ingenium Engine has won “Ward’s Top Ten Engine” award.

Chery Jaguar Land Rover President Murray Dietsch said that since 2012, Chery Jaguar Land Rover has developed steadily, accomplishing several firsts in the premium car market, and it is the only automotive company produces two luxury brands vehicles in China. The All New Range Rover Evoque is the first Jaguar Land Rover model to adopt the Premium Transverse Architecture (PTA). This platform enables multiple powertrain combinations and, importantly, is NEV ready. All of this will bring more product choices to Chinese consumers.

The Range Rover Evoque made a huge splash when it hit the Chinese market in 2015. It was not only the first Chery Jaguar Land Rover model produced at the Changshu plant, but also one of the most popular Land Rover models in the world. With its unique style the Range Rover Evoque has won hundreds of international awards, not to mention the praise of many Chinese consumers.

As another model of Chery Jaguar Land Rover’s simultaneous global production after Jaguar E-PACE, the All New Range Rover Evoque went through rigorous testing before it was released. More than 280 prototype vehicles went through tests to insure excellent quality and maintain our commitment to the “Customer First” concept.

Crafted in a precise manufacturing process, based on its complete infrastructure, systematic capabilities and global standards, the model features laser welding technology ensures a seamless connection between the roof and lower body. As a result, the gap between exterior panels was reduced by 42%, while that between LED headlights and their surrounds was reduced to just 1mm, thus promising an integrated and spectacular front view. Moreover, 99.9% of the model’s body components are newly designed, allowing consumers to enjoy a new-value experience.

The All New Range Rover Evoque will be put into simultaneous global production at the Chery Jaguar Land Rover Changshu Production Base, once again confirming the strength of our Global Flagship Plant and providing solid support for the global layout and localization of the Jaguar Land Rover brand. It is another milestone in the development of Chery Jaguar Land Rover. With advanced technology, stylish design and luxurious quality, the All New Range Rover Evoque will continue to bring a pure British experience to Chinese consumers, and will also become the new standard for style in the Chinese market.

Implementing the “Intelligent Plus” Strategy and Continuing High-quality Development

As China’s first Sino-British premium automotive joint venture, Chery Jaguar Land Rover was established amid the emergence of technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things. With forward-looking vision we have implemented an “Intelligent Plus” strategy to integrate traditional vehicle manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing concepts that not only cater for the individualized needs of both our Jaguar and Land Rover consumers, but have also reinforced us as leaders in intelligent manufacturing in the Chinese automotive industry.

Recently, Chery Jaguar Land Rover and China Unicom signed a 5G strategic cooperation agreement, which is the first to apply 5G communication technology to the manufacturing process in order to empower intelligent manufacturing. Both parties will cooperate on network technology research, application research and communication services and enterprise informatization, and continue to promote the implementation of the “Intelligent Plus” strategy.
