Land Rover Company Profile

Red rover, red rover, let Land Rover come over -- to the US and the rest of the world's landed aristocracy. The UK luxury car brand and British cousin Jaguar operate as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), a subsidiary of Indian auto OEM Tata Motors, part of the conglomerate Tata Group. Land Rover represents more than 75% of JLR's wholesale volumes, which are concentrated in the UK, Europe, North America, and China. Its models include the top selling Freelander 2, and Defender, Discovery 4, and Range Rover SUVs. The company was owned by US giant Ford for eight years. In 2008 Ford sold both brands to the Tata Group for about $2.5 billion. Ford had acquired Land Rover in 2000 and Jaguar in 1989 for a total of $5.3 billion.
