Premium vehicle brand Jaguar plans to axe every second model on its lineup in mid-2024, Automotive News reports referencing a statement made by U.S. branch CEO Joe Eberhardt. This means that out of the six models in production right now, only three will persist past June.
The list of models heading for retirement includes the XE, the XF and both F-Types (coupe and cabriolet). Only the E-Pace, F-Pace and I-Pace will continue to be made, technically turning Jaguar into a pure SUV manufacturer.
However, according to Eberhardt, there is no reason to expect supply shortages anytime soon. The British company plans to adopt a production schedule for the second half of 2024 to guarantee adequate supply and stock.
As announced before, the first new Jaguar EV will be a four-door Grand Tourer envisioned as an ideological successor to the XJ and the next flagship. It is expected to have around 700 km (435 miles) of range, become Jaguar’s most powerful production car in history and cost no less than U.S. $120,000 at the minimum. Two more EVs – presumably both SUVs – are slated to join its company later on.
