A mid-year review on Jaguar and Land Rover trends and evolution in 2024.
Key Highlights:
Jaguar’s Electric Transformation
•2024 marks the final year of gasoline-powered Jaguars. From 2025, Jaguar will transition to an all-electric lineup, moving into a more luxurious market segment alongside brands like Bentley and Rolls-Royce.
•The first new electric Jaguar, a four-door Grand Tourer, is set to debut with a 430-mile range, offering a competitive edge in the EV market.
Land Rover Updates
•While Land Rover has recently relaunched two of its three sub-brands, the Discovery lineup is still awaiting a major redesign. The future direction of the Discovery brand remains uncertain.
•The Range Rover Electric is expected to hit showrooms later this year, with the waitlist already open since December.
•The Defender will see its first full year of uninterrupted production post-Covid, likely leading to increased availability and potentially more special editions.
Secondary Market Trends
•The pre-owned Defender market is expected to grow, with early models from 2020 starting to depreciate, making them more accessible to a broader audience.
•As new Defenders become easier to purchase, the secondary market demand might shift, impacting aftermarket parts availability.
Future Electrification
•There are rumors of a Defender EV, and it’s expected that the smaller Land Rover models (Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover Velar) will transition to the electric-only EMA platform.
•The Halewood factory, which builds these smaller vehicles, is also set to go fully electric.
