Upgrades have been made to Land Rover's painting areas, trim assembly, warehousing, and Jaguar Land Rover is building a new customer handover center. The upgrades were done over three years and employed 1,000 people. 

Sales of the new Range Rover begin later in September and production began in early September. A launch event was held in London on September 6 for dealers, media and important clients. The first deliveries will begin in early 2013.

As the UK's leading automotive investor in R&D we are proud of the work that has gone into developing the new technologies and innovations to make the new Range Rover possible," said Dr. Ralf Speth, Jaguar Land Rover CEO. 

Land Rover will announce technical specifications and pricing for the new Range Rover at the Paris Motor Show on September 27.
