Jaguar will stop producing combustion engines this year

“Life is not about numbers, but about feelings,” Jaguar Nederland writes on the ‘About Us’ page. Will this text still be there when the last V8 has left the building? We will soon find out: Jaguar only wants to sell electric cars next year and will therefore stop building combustion engines. The suspension of production comes earlier than expected.

Joe Eberhardt is the boss of Jaguar Land Rover America and says Road and Track the production will stop in June this year. In any case, the final engines will not be in the F-Type, whose construction was completed last year. The F-Pace now accounts for the majority of sales. In addition, Jaguar still makes the XF, E- and I-Pace in ‘very small’ numbers, according to Eberhardt.

‘The production of most of our products will stop in June, but they will continue to be sold for a long time. We have a production schedule that allows us to have a continuous supply of vehicles until the new vehicles arrive,” says JLR’s American boss. He hopes for a positive turnaround, but says he won’t be concerned if supplies run out sooner or later.

New Jaguar in 2025

Next year Jaguar will undergo changes. The brand will then introduce the new JEA (Jaguar Electric Architecture) platform. The first car to use this will be the four-seat GT. This has to be the most powerful street Jaguar of all time. It should also have a range of 700 kilometers and a price of around 100,000 pounds (about 120,000 euros, without taxes). This year Jaguar will present the GT and deliveries will begin in 2025.

In addition to the GT, two crossovers will be based on the new JEA platform. The first of these will be released sometime towards the end of 2025. The third electric car will be released in 2026. For those who miss the sound of the 5.0-liter V8, Jaguar has something parts of the voice done. It’s fun to play while driving through the tunnel in your F-Pace.
