Jaguar ends production of petrol models in UK
The latest internal combustion engine (ICE) XE, XF and F-Type models have rolled off the assembly line at Jaguar's Castle Bromwich plant in the UK. This marks a historic moment for the brand as it takes a step towards the full electrification of its model range.
A photo of the last three cars released was published by Ken McConomy, head of public relations at Jaguar Land Rover.
The Castle Bromwich plant, where Jaguar has produced cars since 1977, will be repurposed in line with the brand's new development strategy.
Jaguar's plans to abandon internal combustion engines in passenger cars became known at the beginning of 2024. In 2025, Jaguar plans to completely switch to the production of premium electric vehicles.
Jaguar's first electric model will be a luxury grand tourer that will compete with models from Porsche and Bentley. The expected price of the new item is from 125 000 USD.
It's worth noting that the end of production at the Castle Bromwich plant does not mean Jaguar's complete abandonment of the internal combustion engine.
The company will continue to produce some crossovers. In particular, a farewell modification with the most powerful 575-horsepower V8 in the history of the model has already been announced for the Jaguar F-Pace model. Auto.ru reports this.
