路虎

Land Rover's Chinese name 路虎 (Lù hǔ) means 'road tiger'. This creative semantic translation replaces 'rover' (wanderer) with 虎 (tiger), a powerful animal deeply respected in Chinese culture. The result is a name that conveys off-road prowess and dominance — arguably better than the original English name.
