The company is in the midst of a drastic changing of course.
Jaguar Land Rover is going through a major transformation. Last month, Jaguar announced an ambitious plan to become an electric-only automaker from 2025. Land Rover will still offer combustion-powered models but will launch as many as six electric variants within the next five years. As part of the company s new Reimagine strategy, the all-electric Jaguar XJ has been canceled. This isn t the only new model Jaguar Land Rover is axing, however.
Automotive News Europe reports that the development of vehicles based on the flexible Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) platform supporting full-electric, plug-in hybrid, and combustion engines has been canceled. As well as the electric XJ, this platform was going to underpin the rumored low-riding Road Rover, but the electric SUV is no longer being developed.
