英國車廠 Jaguar Land Rover(JLR)旗下 Range Rover 品牌可能迎來產品線重大調整。外媒《Autocar》報導,目前品牌旗下定位最入門的 Range Rover Evoque 與 Range Rover Velar,因產品生命週期接近尾聲,傳出將於 2020 年代末之前陸續停產,而且目前沒有規劃後繼車款。若消息成真,Range Rover 未來將更集中於高價位、具備更高獲利潛力的豪華休旅市場。
Evoque 與 Velar 問世至今已接近 10 年,是 Range Rover 拓展入門豪華休旅市場的重要車款。不過,JLR 據傳希望進一步強化品牌高端定位,將原本由兩款車負責的入門價格帶,交由 Defender 與 Discovery 子品牌承接。這項策略也符合 JLR 推動的「House of Brands」品牌架構,降低 Land Rover 母品牌的主導性,改以 Range Rover、Defender 及 Discovery 三大子品牌各自發展。
這項調整並非毫無前兆。與 Evoque 關係密切的 Land Rover Discovery Sport,近期已結束約 10 年的產品生涯,Jaguar E-Pace 也已停產。另一方面,Land Rover 預計推出定位低於現行 Defender 的新成員,外界推測可能命名為 Defender Sport,填補較入門的價格區間。
若 Evoque 與 Velar 退場,Range Rover 產品陣容將主要由大型 Range Rover、Range Rover Sport,以及即將推出、採轎跑風格與低車身設計的 Range Rover GT 組成。這也意味著品牌將逐步告別相對親民的入門市場,朝更高單價與利潤的豪華定位發展。
