Sports car maker Jaguar will begin its transition to a long-term, electric run in 2025 with the four-door “GT”, worth more than £100,000 ($125,000) and with an elongated diversity that can four-30 miles.
India’s Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Tata Motors sports car supplies for 3 new electric jaguars, with GT sales of 2025. He gave more details.
JLR, in a presentation of the media at its headquarters in Gaydon, England, said that it would invest 1 thousand million pounds sterling ($ 18. 7 billion) in five years to electrify Jaguar brands, Range Rover and Land Roverary
Land Rover received its first style in 2024. The first Range Rover range is sold in 2025.

It’s not clear what happens to the I-Pace electric SUV. Former CEO Thierry Bollore cancelled the big J-Pace SUV, and what would been a range-topping electric XJ sedan.
Unlike Jaguar, Range Rovers will continue to be sold with ICE and hybrid motors, as markets around the world electrify at different paces.
“With Range Rover, the original luxury SUV, available for pre-order in pure electric form later this year, and the first of three breath-taking electric reimagined Jaguar models to be launched in 2025, we are stepping into an incredibly exciting new electric era for JLR as a modern luxury business,” JLR CEO Adrian Mardell said.
JLR gave no more details about the new Jaguar electric cars. They could include a two-seater sports car, along the lines of the current F-type, or a revived XJ limousine.

Analysts have said Jaguar’s new all-electric target market would be higher priced and mean selling far fewer vehicles, but with much higher profits. This is risky because current Jaguar customers would be excluded. Established manufacturers like Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls Royce and Maybach have brand power built up over many years. But at least this would move Jaguar away from competing with German premium makers like BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche. Jaguar never had the volume to match them in choice, price and profits.
With Jaguar moving upmarket, this would also remove the problem of its SUVs stealing sales from JLRs highly successful Range Rover and Land Rover luxury off-road vehicles.
Former CEO Bollore said Jaguar would look outside the JLR gates for partners to expand new electric cars. Wednesday’s announcement didn’t jump on that.
JLR has had good financial news recently when it reported its first quarterly profit in 2 years thanks to rising demand for its vehicles and an easing of the shortage of semiconductor supplies. In the 3rd quarter ended December 31, 2022, JLR earned profit before tax of £265 million ($320 million) compared with a loss of £9 million in the same period of 2021. It forecast “near breakeven” for the whole financial year.
In his statement Wednesday, CEO Mardell said JLR is making strides towards its financial goals of achieving a net cash-positive position by the 2025 fiscal year, and double-digit EBIT (earnings before interest and tax) by 2026.
