Come this June 28th, Tata Motors’ high profile acquisition, Jaguar and Land Rover, would thread the Indian roads.
Tata Motors had acquired the iconic British luxury car brands of Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford Motors in 2008. Both the brands will first hit the shores of Mumbai followed by cities like Ludhiana and Bangalore.
Though there is no confirmed news on the models associated with the premium car brands entering the Indian market, speculations are rife that two models from Jaguar, XF and XKR and three models from the Land Rover stable Discovery 3, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport might brave Indian roads.
India is seen as a lucrative market for super luxury brands like Rolls Royce, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Maybach and Bentley in recent years. The demand for these luxury brands are high in the Indian market and importing of these cars clearly supports the aforesaid statement.
The JLR showrooms will be not only seen in metros but also smaller cities. Available as an completely built unit, the price tags of these models are still kept in wraps.
Finally the premium brands are entering the Indian market. But can any one tell me how are they priced? As they will be imported they will definitely carry an expensive price tag. In your blog you have mentioned two models of Jaguar and three models of Land Rover, but in some sites there are more. So can anyone brief me on this?
