Within the next 12 to 18 months JLR will launch new generations of its Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, two models it categorizes as its "strongest profitability cars," according to the February investor presentation.
Bollore wants to sell Land Rovers for more money. "Land Rover has the equity to push higher in the market," he said at the investor day.
Land Rover will also launch the long-wheelbase, seven-seat Defender 130 variant in the next 12 months, and McGovern hinted at plans to maximize the Defender's potential.
"I'm absolutely convinced the Defender will become a power brand in itself," he said.
McGovern also promised that the slow-selling Discovery premium large SUV will be elevated to a more premium position, along with the midsize Discovery Sport. "Our next generation of Discoveries will be moved into that world of luxury, too," he said.
Under new Jaguar Land Rover CEO Thierry Bollore's Reimagine plan, none of Jaguar's current range will be replaced. Instead, the brand will go all-electric. "Our models returning the lowest profitability will make room for those that make the best returns," Bollore said.
