Going to be awfully expensive I’d imagine

Maybe they should open a cheaper range to target more markets which still offers the quality...with a Rover badge on 😏

TATA who own Jaguar also own the Rover marque remember.

Can you imagine what this is going to do to the residuals for the current Landrover ICE owners and dealers stocks. No one is going to rush out and purchase a new Range rover now are they after this? Mind it might make for a cheap motor if everyone rushes to buy into the greenwashing dream.

Yes they will, they are all married or otherwise to people who kick a round ball around for a 'living'.

Wasn't the X-Type done in that direction?

So Jaguar are to cease ‘volume’ production and become a niche boutique electric car manufacturer competing in the Rolls Royce / Bentley price bracket. A sad end for the marque in my opinion not to mention the thousands of job losses from the company that this strategy will cause. Not quite what Sir William Lyons would have wanted I imagine. Still their current range / output will be instant modern classics now.

Come back in 10 years time. Doubt that Jaguar will still be around. Just a prediction.
