-- What's the Chinese production plan for Jaguar Land Rover?

Jaguar Land Rover has declared that it's keen to get permission to build vehicles here through a joint venture. We are committed to achieving all the requirements of the Chinese government. We want to bring the latest Jaguar Land Rover vehicles to China and build them here for Chinese consumers.

-- What's your position on rolling out alternative-fuel luxury models?

We are very conscious about our responsibility for the environment. So we've been working very hard when we make our new models to ensure they offer lower emission levels, are more environment-friendly and use recycled materials. You see the Evoque. Well, it's the lightest, most fuel-efficient, lowest-emissions Range Rover ever built. It also has a considerable amount of components that are made of recycled materials.

The aluminum used by the XJ is a clear signal that Jaguar Land Rover tries to produce some of the lightest and most high-tech vehicle bodies in the auto industry.

-- What are the products tailor-made for the Chinese market?

The new Jaguar XJ 3.0 is tailor-made for the new generation of business elites, offering smaller engine capacity and comfortable rear seat space. We have cooling and heating in the rear seats and a massage function. The new XJ 3.0 is also a long wheelbase model.

Range Rover Evoque is the lightest vehicle in its range and offers the best fuel economy. The 2.0-liter engine capacity meets market demand for smaller capacity engines in China.

Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate is also the most luxurious Range Rover ever, with handcrafted luxury interior.

Range Rover Evoque

The Range Rover Evoque is a true SUV designed for a younger, urban and trendy audience. It's still a Range Rover but features the finest materials to deliver true luxury. Customers in China can create their own bespoke Range Rover Evoque with a tempting array of colors, finishes and luxury designs, based on two distinct design themes, Prestige and Dynamic.

Jaguar XJ 3.0

The new Jaguar XJ 3.0 is designed for the new business elites, priced at 968,000 yuan (US$149,000). The long wheelbase model (extra 125mm) has more rear leg room, plus dynamic performance and efficiency. There's a 3.0 V6 engine, an automatic six-speed transmission, and the suspension has been optimized for Chinese conditions to greatly increase driving comfort.

Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate

This flagship model is the most luxurious Range Rover ever, with handcrafted luxury interior. The driver benefits from the recognizable command driving position offering excellent visibility and comfort. Two stand-alone electric rear seats enhance space and comfort for rear passengers, making the Ultimate Edition the definitive chauffeur vehicle.

Jaguar C-X75 concept

The Jaguar C-X75 concept reflects Jaguar's design philosophy of natural, flowing lines and simple, elegant forms. The electric car has a top speed of 330 kilometers/hour and a range of 110 kilometers with zero exhaust emissions. The innovative, lightweight Bladon micro gas turbines quickly and efficiently charge the lithium-ion batteries giving the C-X75 a range of up to 900 kilometers.
