As part of the announcement, Jaguar Land Rover also confirmed they will start producing the electric vehicles in its Castle Bromwich factory, a move that will save 2,500 jobs in the area.
Land Rover’s current range of electrified vehicles includes plug-in hybrid models of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, while sister brand Jaguar has the all-electric Jaguar I-Pace. Check out our review of the I-Pace here. Jaguar Land Rover has previously committed to start creating electrified version of all their models by 2020.
The last of the current Jaguar XJ will be produced this week, with production on the new model starting over the summer.

It’ll also be looking to stand out against electric cars like the Porsche Taycan and the Tesla Model S, which recently won Best Green Car in our 2019 New Car Awards.
The XJ is also said to be aiming for a real-world electric range of 300 miles, with a sprint time (0-60mph) of under five seconds.
Jaguar Land Rover have stated that “convenience and affordability” are key, and that in producing their batteries in the UK they can keep costs and safety risks low. We’ll update this article as more information is released, so check back for the latest news on the electric XJ.
