Jaguar Land Rover has already announced plans for an EV onslaught by introducing six purely electric vehicles across the Range Rover, Discovery, and Defender lineups within the next five years. A new report from Automotive News Europe<\/em> states a zero-emissions variant of the Range Rover luxury SUV will lead the way, earmarked for a market launch sometime in 2024.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the next-generation Range Rover is going to be introduced later in 2021 with a hybrid powertrain by combining a combustion engine with an electric motor. The future EV model will ride on Jaguar Land Rover\u2019s newly developed Modular Longitudinal Architecture, which was supposed to debut in the following months on the all-new Jaguar XJ. However, the electric luxury sedan was canceled<\/a> at the last moment, despite Jaguar\u2019s intention to become a purely EV brand from 2025.<\/p>\n Starting from scratch with a platform tailored to electric vehicles would take a lot of effort, time, and most importantly, money. By finding a partner, Jaguar would be able to speed up development and reduce costs by achieving economies of scale, hence why the CEO Thierry Bollore says the company is already in talks \u201cwith a selection of actors\u201d for a potential tie-up.<\/p>\n Interestingly, Jaguar\u2019s head honcho says selecting the partner will depend on whether the hardware provided by the automakers will be compatible with the designs elaborated by Gerry McGovern, JLR\u2019s head of design. In a separate interview with Automotive News Europe<\/em>, Bollore said the platform \u201chas to respect the proportion of the designs.\u201d<\/p>\n McGovern has promised future Jaguar production models will be \u201cabsolutely modern and contemporary,\u201d adding the cars \u201cshouldn\u2019t be retrospective at all and shouldn\u2019t emulate anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n Source: Automotive News Europe (1)<\/a>, (2)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jaguar Land Rover has already announced plans for an EV onslaught by introducing six purely electric vehicles across the Range Rover, Discovery, and Defender lineups within the next five years.
