In 2018, Jaguar I-Pace marked the British brand’s first foray into the mainstream EV space. Almost five years later, the electric crossover gets a minor facelift and more features to keep its momentum going.
Here is the list of all recalls that happened in the month of August. It contains a decent number of recalls from many different manufacturers for many obvious issues. But, guess who is back? Takata airbags return to this list, again.
The entire motoring world is now in the process of making the tedious switch to alternative fuels. So is the United Kingdom, with their plans to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2030. Jaguar Land Rover likes to prepare in advance thus they have now promised to make the Jaguar lineup completely electric by 2025, adding the current I-Pace EV’s success (at least in Europe, not in the Middle East).
While performance SUVs make no sense as a concept, pairing powerful engines with bulky bodies, they sell well enough for the Jaguar F-Pace SVR to continue into 2021, with better performance and improved aerodynamics.
Jaguar’s E-Pace small SUV received one of the most subtle of all refreshes for next year. The 2021 Jaguar E-Pace gets changed ever-so-slightly on the outside but with some significant changes inside.
With 5 years under its belt since the second generation’s reveal, it was high time that Jaguar updated its executive sedan, the Jaguar XF. Here it is with a mid-cycle facelift that gives the 2021 XF subtle styling changes and some tech updates.
Our Jaguar XK never had a fair shot in this market. While the car is perceived to be a modern classic in the United States and Europe, it had a weird reputation here — a mix between expensively unreliable, driven only by old British men, and expensive enough to get a ton of road respect.
The Jaguar F-Type has been fairly popular for its handsome design and borderline-illegal exhaust note. But the Indian-owned British sports car has been growing a little old in the tooth, not even counting the fact that it’s actually based on a shortened XK platform that dates back to 2006. Which is why Jaguar decided to update the 2020 Jaguar F-Type Coupe and Convertible. While the classic platform remains the same, the new models get a better design, more tech and powerful engines but they ditch the manual transmission option.
The last generation of the Jaguar had a massive factory problem. One of several electronic control modules on the HID headlights used to keep shorting out in some way or the other every time there was some sort of power surge, such as when your battery dies or sometimes even randomly, maybe once every two years. This used to cause the auto-levelling function to go stupid, making the headlights point permanently downwards even though they are perfectly working fine otherwise (while flashing a warning light in your gauge cluster permanently as well). Oddly enough, the warning light was for the turning-headlights feature,
Tesla has played a lone hand in the premium performance EV segment for the past several years, but the genre is now starting to gain critical mass, with virtually every mainstream prestige manufacturer pouring massive investments into developing and marketing battery-powered offerings.
