Jaguar Land Rover will be increasing prices, on select models in India with effect from April 1, 2019. Prices will be hiked by four per cent, the automaker announced in a statement.

The Land Rover portfolio comprises the Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque as locally manufactured products, in addition to the Range Rover Velar, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and the Discovery range of SUVs.

Speaking about the price hike, Jaguar Land Rover India - President and Managing Director, Rohit Suri said, “Jaguar Land Rover in India offers a portfolio of world class products that inspire and excite. This increase in price is purely inflationary and we are certain that the two global iconic brands, Jaguar and Land Rover, will continue to attract existing and new customers.”
