Where is Range Rover made? The flagship Range Rover Vogue L460, Range Rover Sport L461 and Range Rover Velar are manufactured in England at the Range Rover Solihull plant, Lode Lane, West Midlands.

The Range Rover Evoque L551 is manufactured at the Halewood plant in Liverpool. Both manufacturing facilities are in the UK and operated by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), which has been owned by Tata Motors since 2008.

Some models are also manufactured in India, China and Brazil for their local markets, but all flagship Range Rovers are made in the UK.

Direct Answer: Solihull, West Midlands

This is where Range Rover Solihull comes in. The Solihull plant has been producing Range Rover vehicles since the first model was introduced on 17 June 1970, and since 1948, it has been producing Land Rover Series I vehicles.

Range Rover made in England at Solihull is not a marketing term; it is a manufacturing fact that has been true for more than 50 years.

The plant is located on a 300-acre (120-hectare) site and has more than 10,000 manufacturing jobs.

The Range Rover body side panel is the heaviest single aluminium pressing in the automotive industry at only 7kg. The aluminium structure, designed and produced in Solihull, is the hallmark of all flagship Range Rovers.

What Exactly is the JLR Solihull Plant?

The plant has seen Jaguar Land Rover UK production throughout all the ownership changes. It currently produces the Range Rover Vogue, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar and Jaguar F-Pace on the same production lines.

Where is Each Range Rover Model Made?

The Range Rover manufacturing plant location depends on the model of the car. The entire Range Rover range is manufactured in 2 UK plants.

Model	Plant	Location	Engine	Notes
Range Rover Vogue (L460)	Solihull	West Midlands, England	3.0L Ingenium / 4.4L BMW V8	Flagship; UK only for the UK/EU market
Range Rover Sport (L461)	Solihull	West Midlands, England	3.0L Ingenium I6 / V8	Also assembled in Pune from 2024
Range Rover Velar (L560)	Solihull	West Midlands, England	2.0L / 3.0L Ingenium	UK production for the UK/EU market
Range Rover Evoque (L551)	Halewood	Liverpool, England	2.0L Ingenium	Also assembled in Changshu, China and Brazil

Range Rover Evoque Halewood: The Evoque has been built at the Halewood plant since the first-generation L538 Evoque was introduced in 2011, which is near Liverpool in Merseyside.

In September 2024, JLR revealed that the Halewood plant would be ready for a new generation of Range Rover Evoque models with a £500m investment.

Halewood has about 4,000 employees and a production capacity of more than 100,000 units per year.

Where is Range Rover Sport Made? The Range Rover Sport L461 is built in Solihull for the UK/European market.

The Range Rover Sport is also being produced at JLR’s Pune plant in India from 2024, to meet the growing demand of Indian customers, who are not buying the Range Rover Sport in the UK.

What UK Manufacturing Delivers in Each Range Rover Model:

The Range Rover Solihull production system defiantly effects what is delivered to the driver from each model. All Range Rover Vogue, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar vehicles manufactured at Solihull are equipped with body structures that are a high proportion of aluminium.

Being the single largest aluminium pressings in the world at 7kgs from the Range Rover body side, reducing kerb weight by as much as 420kg (926 lbs), compared against comparable steel bodies, improving fuel economy, vehicle handling and suspension response across the whole road surface.

The Range Rover Sport built at Solihull is available with the 3.0-litre inline-six Ingenium diesel producing 300hp (D300) or 350hp (D350), and the 4.4-litre BMW-sourced V8 in SV specification producing 530hp.

The engine used to power the models built in Solihull is to the same spec as the engine that the development team at JLR’s Whitley centre designed. There is no region derating or emissions variant differences for UK market cars.

At Halewood, the Range Rover Evoque is fitted with the 2.0 litre 4-cylinder Ingenium diesel engine (204DTA, 165ps) and petrol engine (204PT, 200ps), along with Terrain Response 2 as standard on all but the base SE trim.

Model	Engine Code	Power Output	0–60 mph	Kerb Weight
Range Rover Vogue D300	306DT	300hp / 650Nm	6.1 seconds	2,390kg
Range Rover Sport D350	30DDTX	350hp / 700Nm	5.6 seconds	2,215kg
Range Rover Velar D200	204DTA	204hp / 430Nm	7.9 seconds	1,856kg
Range Rover Evoque D165	204DTA	165hp / 380Nm	9.5 seconds	1,835kg

Range Rover Global Production Beyond The UK:

Range Rover global production goes beyond the UK to better meet regional demand. These overseas assembly plants are not export factories; they assemble for local customers only, and Range Rovers are only made in England for the UK market.

Country	Plant	Models Assembled	Purpose
England, UK	Solihull (Lode Lane)	Range Rover, Sport, Velar	Primary production: global flagship
England, UK	Halewood (Liverpool)	Range Rover Evoque	UK and European market Evoque
India	Pune	Range Rover Sport, Evoque, Discovery Sport	Indian market only, from 2024

The Significance of UK Manufacturing for Range Rover Owners:

Beyond the nationalistic implications, the Range Rover British manufacturing has practical implications for UK owners.

1. Parts supply chains: UK-built Range Rovers feature Ingenium engines, built and designed in Coventry, and parts supply chains are shorter and quicker for UK vehicles than those built overseas.
2. Range Rover engine UK engineering: This means that the 2.0L and 3.0L Ingenium engines in UK-sold vehicles are built the same way as the development engineers planned, with no regional differences.
3. Resale value: UK buyers always prefer to buy UK-made Range Rovers, and the Solihull origin is a resale asset for Vogue, Sport and Velar owners.
4. Recall and TSB coverage: UK-built vehicles benefit from quicker Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) updates via JLR’s UK dealer network.

The Range Rover engine UK link is particularly significant for those who have high mileage on their car and are experiencing engine problems.

The Ingenium 3.0-litre inline-six engine used in the UK Vogue and Sport is the same as the Discovery 5 and Defender, with the same tooling and knowledge at specialist garages.
