Land Rover Sales By Plant : 2015-2021
Land Rover had two production plants in 2014, Solihull, near Birmingham and Halewood, circa Liverpool. Halewood made the Freelander and Evoque, while the other models were sourced from Solihull. The timeline follows from here.
2015: The Discovery Sport took over from the Freelander. The Changshu facility in China commenced, making the Evoque and shortly after the Discovery Sport.
2016: The Defender was retired at the beginning of the year after 67 years of faithful service. A plant was opened in Itatiaia, Brazil, assembling both Discovery Sport and Evoque.
2017: The Velar model was introduced and manufactured at Solihull.
2019: A factory at Nitra, Slovakia was opened, making the new Discovery. The figure for this year is an estimate. The assembly of the Evoque ends at Itatiaia.
2020: The new Defender model was added to the Nitra facility.
2021: The data for this year is from January to March.
The two UK plants are still the main source of vehicles, but Nitra is being lifted by the very successful Defender model. The Itatiaia plant in Brazil is currently only assembling the Discovery Sport and its percentage not shown due to its minimal impact.
Summary: Land Rover continues its bullish run as a successful purveyor of quality vehicles, which are at home whether on or off-road.
