Land Rover wants sixteen models

Land Rover is planning its model range dramatically expand. With sixteen models, it is possible that the British least doubling their sales.

Land Rover may have about doubled in 2020, says Autocar. With the new models, the entire range of SUVs covered a model of the Evoque to more seven-seater, for example based on the Freelander.

Head of Design Gerry McGovern says that new variants coming on the Defender, Freelander and Range Rover, the latter six models should start counting. Market forecasts assume that in 2020 about 22 million SUVs sold as Land Rover and radically expand its range and 3 percent of that market manages to conquer, the annual selling 600,000 cars.

Just behind homeland Britain, China is the largest market for parent company Jaguar Land Rover. Favorable for Land Rover and its expansion is that the taste is shifting from ordinary luxury cars to SUVs.

There are in the first eight months of 2012 47.975 Land Rovers sold, up 85 percent over the same period last year. That in China crescendo, is also evident from the fact there are about fifty dealers to come alongside the roughly hundred that are already there.
