ON A PERSONAL NOTE ALWAYS WITH YOU Driving a Land Rover is truly special. It embodies a spirit that we have been able to call uniquely ours for 70 years. This spirit – the curiosity it feeds, and the experiences it encourages – continues to power us as we chart the exciting times to come. With many nations already preparing for a world with reduced emissions, we look ahead with ambition and optimism. Because we know that Land Rovers will always demonstrate the uncompromising innovation that takes us Above and Beyond. For instance, choosing an alternative to traditional combustion engines now doesn’t mean compromising on the unrivalled capability that has shaped our identity over the past seven decades. The Range Rover is now equipped with an innovative new plug-in hybrid powertrain which is truly efficient and minimises its environmental impact, and – as the award-winning filmmaker and mountaineer Jimmy Chin discovered, when he took one for a drive in his snowy Wyoming hometown (see page 20) – it offers every bit of the freedom, capability and refined comfort that have come to be synonymous with the Land Rover brand. Jimmy is certainly an exceptional character, but the Range Rover PHEV, with its easy charging options and smart technology that cleverly ensures optimal power usage, is a car for everyday heroes too. This wide-ranging capability is in the DNA of every vehicle we make, and the resultant sense of adventure is celebrated throughout this latest issue of ONELIFE. From the deep-seated passion of a classic Land Rover-loving community in a remote corner of India, to the icy thrills of tackling Arctic Sweden in a Range Rover Velar; from family fun with outdoorsman Monty Halls and a Discovery in Ireland's scenic Donegal, to the sense of wonder captured when children encounter the Above & Beyond Tour experience in Windsor: there’s no time, place or activity that isn’t perfectly suited to a Land Rover. For everyone who wants to make the most of this beautiful world and be a part of a more fulfilling future: in your ever-evolving journey through life, Land Rover will always be an inspiring constant. Enjoy the issue! Felix Bräutigam Jaguar Land Rover Chief Commercial Officer 7
