Jaguar Land Rover has revealed two ground-breaking models to the world at the 88th Geneva International Motor Show, which concluded on Sunday.

Fresh off its global reveal, the Jaguar I-PACE made its way to Switzerland from Austria for its public debut, with the battery electric, all-wheel-drive, premium SUV leading Jaguar’s presence at the show.

Land Rover also had something to shout about by reinventing the SUV segment with a luxurious, limited edition, two-door Range Rover. Unveiled to the public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show, the Range Rover SV Coupe becomes the world’s first full-sized SUV, which sets new standards for materials and craftsmanship.

With only 999 vehicles being made, each will be crafted to a customer’s specification by Jaguar Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations division. Making its presence at the show is Iron Maiden drummer Nicko McBrain’s custom-made Jaguar XJ6 III, which has been lovingly restored by Jaguar Classic as a ‘Greatest Hits’ version of the musician’s car.

Jaguar Land Rover is the UK’s largest automotive manufacturer, built around two iconic British car brands: Land Rover, the world’s leading manufacturer of premium all-wheel-drive vehicles and Jaguar, one of the world’s premier luxury sports saloon and sports car makers.
