Jaguar Ending Production of Gas Cars Entirely before New EVs Arrive

• Jaguar will end production of internal combustion cars later this year.

• According to a report by Road & Track, the manufacturer is planning to hold a supply of its current lineup of gas-powered cars until the arrival of its next-generation electric vehicles.

• The existing lineup will be replaced in the coming years by three models on a new platform named JEA (Jaguar Electric Architecture,) the first being a four-seat electric GT car.

Jaguar is planning a phoenix-like rebirth as the British automaker executes its plan to become an EV-only manufacturer by 2025. This will involve killing off its current lineup while also shifting towards higher-cost vehicles. This means that the gas-powered XF sedan and E-Pace and F-Pace crossovers will cease production later this year (the F-type sports car already had its swan song for the 2024 model year). Joe Eberhardt, Jaguar Land Rover's North American President and CEO, recently explained the shift to Road & Track.

"The majority of our products cease production in June, but they will be on sale for a much longer time,” Eberhardt told R&T. "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."
