I wonder if Jaguar are going all electric to offset the emissions of Land Rover as I can't see the Range Rover being able to tow 3.5 tons on an electric platform.
Nice to see them giving recognition to their heritage at the start of the video.
I wonder if there'll be any halo cars just prior to this? Another V8 saloon car to go out with a bang? I truly doubt it but one can dream

Yup. It’s likely built on the MLA architecture which is going to be developed for Land Rover only. The new Jaguar architecture is different so a new XJ will be designed.
Sounds all good to me actually. As much as I love my ICEs ("I like burning stuff" as Jerry Seinfeld said in Comedians in cars getting coffee ) they're all forced to go electric and I don't care about the drive train as long as it's a proper Jag.
Leaving the tractor business to LR is absolutely right and hopefully this reimagination makes them drop the illusion of big volume repmobile / Eurobox production and instead focus on properly exciting cars true to the Jaguar DNA again.
Having Tata as a strong long term owner also seems good. It must be tough making money short term with the current honestly rather sad lineup... apart from the I-Pace and F-Type I can't quite see how anything else in the current lineup could sell even decently so it's good if they have an owner who believes in that they'll get back on track.
With such a radical change in direction should they also change their name? Let’s be honest, they still have the ‘old man‘ reputation and LR have an awful rep for reliability, especially in the US. I think the old names may be a hinderance for such a modern line up.
Don't hold your collective breath gents. It ain't going to happen any time soon. Really, really, really couldn't justify spending upwards of £50k just pre-retirement. As much as I'd like to . . .
I'm really interested to see what format Jaguar will use for batteries going forward. Will they stay with the iPace LG pouch cell or swap to a cylindrical design? The demand for an off the shelf pouch cell going forward could escalate the cost unless Jaguar have plans to manufacture their own or partner a battery supplier.
The iPace should be selling in large numbers but the LG pouch battery is possibly it's Achilles heel.
Ford Europe have followed setting a date of 2030 to be 100% electric.
