Jaguar Land Rover Group has unveiled a very important update to its Reimagine plan, where we will finally find out more about the future of Jaguar. Because if Land Rover continued to bring new products to the market and work on the development of its first electric models, little or nothing was known about the future of Jaguar, except that from 2025 it would only bring electric vehicles to the market.
The car group’s plan calls for Jaguar to enter the market. 3 new electric models. First there will be a 4-door GT which will become the most powerful Jaguar in history. Besides, the point is to want to offer range 700 km (in 15 minutes he will be able to restore 320 km of autonomy). No specific technical details have been released, except that the car will be based on new platform Jea (Jaguar Electrified Architecture). The car will go on sale from 2024 in selected markets. However, deliveries will begin in 2025. More details about this project will be published later this year.
starting price electric gt jaguar it will be £100,000, that is, approximately 113,600 euros. Thus, GT will be the first model of the manufacturer’s strategy to become an electric vehicle-only brand. According to Autocar, virtual testing of the car is almost complete due to the next phase of development, which includes road testing. GT and subsequent models will have a completely new design and will not “copying nothingTherefore, it remains only to wait for news about the electric GT.
The Jaguar Land Rover Reimagine plan update wasn’t just for Jaguar. Indeed, the automotive group has made it clear that in the coming years invests £15 billion (more than 17 billion euros) in the field of vehicle development, autonomous driving technologies, artificial intelligence and digital technologies, as well as staff training.
Also part of this plan is the conversion of the JLR Halewood plant in Merseyside, UK, to the production of electric vehicles. In addition, the Wolverhampton plant, which today produces Ingenium endothermic motors, will also produce electric motors and batteries. To do this, it will be renamed the Center for the Production of Electric Motors. Instead, the Castle Bromwich plant will be expanded to be able to supply sheet metal for next-generation model bodies.
As for Land Rovers, orders for the first electric model of the Range Rover family they will be gone by the end of the year. A model that will then launch in 2025 and be built at the Halewood site. Land Rover will use two platforms for its future models. In particular, future cars will be based on both EMA platform (electrified modular architecture) and both on MLA platform (Modular longitudinal architecture).
The first will be used only for 100% electric models, while the second will be used for endothermic, hybrid and electric vehicles. With the flexibility of this second platform, Land Rover will be able to offer a range of vehicles to meet the needs of a wide variety of markets.
