Jaguar to kill off its entire lineup, ahead of new EV arrival

Jaguar's first model will come in the form of a 4-door GT with up to 575 BHP.

British car brand Jaguar is all set to become an EV-only brand in 2025. Ahead of its restructuring, Jaguar is said to be ending production of its entire ICE model lineup by June 2024.

According to reports, Jaguar will also be upgrading its assembly lines for an entirely new EV platform. This means that apart from the ICE lineup, Jaguar's current EV offering, the I-Pace, will be discontinued as well. Among the models currently on sale, the XF, E-Pace and F-Pace will be discontinued sometime later this year, while Jaguar has already announced that the 2024 model year of the F-Type will be its last. The production of the I-Pace electric SUV is expected to continue until early next year.

Joe Eberhardt, CEO, JLR North America, suggested that although production of the models will end in June, they will continue to be on sale until the new-gen EVs start arriving. He stated, "The majority of our products cease production in June, but they will be on sale for a much longer time." He further added, "We will have a production schedule that enables us to have a continuous supply of vehicles until the new cars come… We’re trying to time it so we have enough volume to take us through to the launch of the new product and have a clean handover."

Talking about the next-gen EVs, Jaguar's first model will come in the form of a 4-door GT - the brand's most powerful road car to date, with up to 575 BHP. The carmaker also states that the EV could do a 0-60 mph sprint in under 4 seconds and have a driving range of around 700 km. In terms of pricing, expect the new-gen Jaguar EV to be around $127,000 mark.
