Jaguar Land Rover has announced that the first of three all-new Jaguar EVs will be a four-door GT that’ll be built at its Solihull plant in the UK. A single teaser image has been released. While the Land Rover brand continues to thrive with new models like the Defender, Range Rover, and Range Rover Sport, it’s Jaguar that requires rehabilitation in order to survive. This new GT could be the start of a whole new beginning for Jaguar, which we’ve known for a while will be going fully battery electric.
Interestingly, the automaker has decided to make the Defender, Ranger Rover, and Discovery their own separate brands alongside Jaguar. This “house of brands will be under the JLR umbrella.
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) also announced a major update of its two-year-old Reimagine plan that includes a new $18 billion investment (£15 billion) over five years that will see, among other things, its UK-based Halewood plant turned into a full-on EV production facility, specifically for the upcoming electric modular architecture (EMA). This new dedicated EV platform is vital for JLR because it’ll underpin the next generation of medium-sized SUVs, a vital source of income for the carmaker that recently recovered from major financial issues.
