Dr. Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover commented: "Jaguar
Land Rover is proud to be demonstrating for the U.S. market the
latest design and technology advancements we have made with both

California is a key region from a business and a global trends
perspective."

key attributes of Land Rover and continue in today's
