About William 31

Jaguar Land Rover Group

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is a business built around two great British
car brands that design, engineer and manufacture in the UK.
Jaguar, founded in 1922, is one of the world’s premier manufacturers of luxury sports saloons and sports cars. Land Rover is a world-
renowned manufacturer of premium 4x4s based in the UK.
JLR is owned by the Indian firm, TATA Group, who bought the firm
from the Ford Motor Company in 2008 for a reported $2.5bn.
Employing nearly 15,000 people with a large manufacturing base and
headquarters in the Midlands, JLR is an employer of choice supporting a large number of supplier organisations across the UK
and Europe.
At present all Jaguar and Land Rover models are built in the UK (with
the exception of the left-hand-drive Land Rover Defender which is produced in Spain). JLR operates a complex and costly export model
to distribute products to markets across the world. Because of this TATA announced in May this year it has plans to open a Chinese
manufacturing plant for Jaguar Land Rover.
JLR Group: Overview

Our philosophy is about creating cars that are as great as they possibly can be. This ethos extends to our people. From the heart of our engineering operations to the glamour of our showrooms, our people are at the heart of our success and it’s their ideas, beliefs and ambitions that truly drive us.

JLR Group: Brand & Product Framework

The Jaguar brand

The Jaguar brand: Heritage
Jaguar is a British car brand that operates on a global scale.
Encompassing a rich history in motorsport and in popular culture, Jaguar is considered by many to be quintessentially British. Founded
in the 20s, Jaguar is marks its 75th anniversary this year.
It’s likely Jaguar’s British image stems from a long-standing
relationship with both the Royal Family and the British Government. The XJ model in particular, has long being a favourite of British
politicians, with current Prime Minister, David Cameron most recently taking delivery of the all new XJ.

Where Jaguar sat in the 60s with its purity and beauty, the world today is visually very aggressive - Jaguar can’t afford to be too subtle.

The Jaguar brand: Current product range

With 22,000 XFs on the road in the UK, the growing popularity speaks for itself… at the end of 2009 our order book was nearly full with customers wanting an XF.

The Marketplace

The ‘Challenger’ Brands Jaguar faces increased pressure from newer luxury brands from Toyota, Nissan and Honda who undercut on price and exceed in reliability surveys. Lexus and Infiniti are particularly prevalent in the US and Russian markets, and Nissan’s Infiniti brand has recently launched in the UK and Europe.
The Incumbent Rivals
Jaguar’s closest rivals both
on price and product are
German brands BMW,
Mercedes and Audi,
competing on a global scale.
Local Domestic Brands In the US, Jaguar faces some competition from domestic premium brands including Ford’s Lincoln and GM’s Cadillac.
Super Luxury British Brands In terms of brand image and positioning, Jaguar also competes with more high-end British luxury brands such as Bentley, Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce.
