While the absence of the Land Rover name in the rebrand seemed to suggest that the storied name is dead, JLR confirmed that Land Rover would continue as a badge on its SUVs to serve as a “trust mark.”

“We are not losing the Land Rover name… its spirit is—and will continue to be—a crucial part of our DNA,” the company said in a written statement.





“Land Rover will remain. It is strong, well known, and we will use that collective strength to give our brands authenticity and purpose,” a spokesperson told Automotive News Europe.

The company also announced Jaguar will relaunch under its new strategy with a four-door electric GT priced at more than $124,000 with a range of up to 700 kilometers (435 miles). JLR also revealed it will start accepting pre-orders for the upcoming electric Range Rover later this year, which is slated to launch in 2025.
