I believe the statement by Jaguar is being misunderstood so I'll translate... Jaguar won't offer any vehicles that are ICE ONLY after 2025. Most Jaguars will still have a fuel door beyond 2025.

Recently Jag's talked about their future in going upmarket, and has mentioned bringing out a singular EV platform for all their vehicles that is bespoke to Jaguar. Quote:

Jaguar is lost as a brand- putting an EV into their cars wouldn’t make them any more desirable.
Meanwhile Land Rover is doing great and just introduced a V8 Defender! |

JLR Cancels Future EV's Before Production
I have a feeling JLR may push back that 2025 deadline.

I’m not making predictions, but it won’t surprise me to see the bold statements from the likes of California or GM get revised, delayed, or similar. The technology is simply not ready for a complete changeover from ICE. Last edited by chassis; 03-03-2021 at 11:23 AM.. |

As for Land Rover, the loss of the "Road Rover" isn't surprising. This product was conceived when soft roaders were the thing. Now, everyone wants an off road vehicle again, so they likely realized they already had the line-up they needed (and that this abomination would probably do more harm than good). Quote:
However, when it comes to Jaguar, their business was already headed for the toilet, so they might as well go all in. Be it 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040 whatever, it's coming. And it is a big uphill battle to get investors to buy into a complete redux of a legacy vehicle corporation. You have ample manufacturing capacity and at least some semblance of a battery supply chain built up already which is more than some of the new players can say. In the free market, that alone is worth more than the flagging legacy product portfolio right now. |

I had a Fpace S for a 3 year lease and I wouldn't ever own a new vehicle from them again. Their service departments near me are terrible. I've received better service from every other car I've leased and the bmw/merc/toyota dealer I take my X3 to is massively better than either of the JLR services departments I mentioned. However, my parents have had nothing but JLR products for years and the dealership they take their stuff to in Florida is top tier.
My biggest issue with Jag in general is that their products are more expensive than their direct competition but you don't get anything more for that money. So in the end they feel overpriced. I still think their SUV and the Ftype in top trims have fantastic exteriors. |

Financing Jaguar's product range makeover to EVs is not something I would invest in. Sell the brand and leverage someone else's investment. |

Has there ever been a self-sufficient, profitable Brit car co that has its reach somewhat worldwide (so no 'kit car' or extremely small-scale companies)? McLaren was promising but it's in the red supposedly. AM was never really about performance until it suddenly went impressively crazy w recent models but it's still in the red too...and Jag pales in comparison to these 2 better brands. The Brits make some good cars but somehow can't run a successful car biz.
Jag had a great head(re)start w the gorgeous F-Type but utterly failed to capitalize. Also, some signs of poor design/engineering? as how could the trunk from its convertible be so pathetically small? It's embarrassing!

I can't believe a new F-Type is over $100k and also that the R is the only V8 option now.
Guess I have to wait for the market to correct & get a used V8 S after all |
