In the mid-80s Land Rover engineers and designers were working on vehicle, intended for a family car market segment. It was decided to use a Range Rover wheel base with a simpler and less expensive body. The result of hard work on the project was the Land Rover Discovery, presented on 16 September 1989 at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Discovery was for Land Rover’s pioneer project for a new market segment of all-wheel drive cars.
Vintage Range Rover Classic model was discontinued in 1996. Throughout 26 years, 317 615 units were built. In 2002, the third-generation model was introduced which saw the model move further up-market.
The Range Rover Evoque has been produced since 2011. It is a compact luxury crossover SUV, which naturally complements the model range of Land Rover. Today, Land Rover vehicles are not simply “comfortable all-terrain vehicles” but symbol of prosperity, good taste and refinement.
