The good news is that the Land Rover brand has some cache and I think Tata will eventually sell it. Hopefully to the Germans, again.
Tata is on the ropes right now with Jaguar and LR, and they don't have the resources to invest in electrification to compete. Further, they can barely keep internal combustion vehicles from falling apart. They're going to keep up with the Germans and Japanese on that front? Fireball's chance in you know where.

I have owned 3 Rovers as well, including my current 2018 model. When everything is working there is no other truck I rather have, but you are right there are lots gremlins that I have learned to live with. I am hoping BMW reliability will be far better. I have owned Porsches they have a ton of issues as well. |

I don't think so , BMW is on the same track as well
Let me summirize the Issues -
Last year my car was in dealership for repair for around 70 days /6 trips .Its a 2014 BMW X5 35d .Less then 110K Kms .
Below are the issues only from 2018
1.Engine light 4 times already ( 4 injectors replaced + others Issues)
2.Air Suspension failure 4 times
3.iDrive controller replaces twice
4.iDrive screen shows "NO SIGNAL" while driving anytime randomly
5.Underbody shield hanging from the car
6.Blind Spot Malfunction Waring
7.Front Control Arm replaced
Above were covered under warranty
8.Engine Carbon Clean up - $2000 Paid .As per BMW this not covered under warranty .
I spends hours on phone /emails to get my car fixed from BMW Canada , specially in Canada the customers have no protection from Govt nor any Law in your favour so these companies give you really hard time .
+ to add Car is under recall related to fire but BMW have no clue how to fix it .
