The English group has confirmed the "mid" version of the MLA platform.This leads to the cessation of electric Jaguar XJ projects, but also of the Land Rover "Road Rover" and the Jaguar J-Pace.
The English group Jaguar Land Rover unveiled its roadmap a few days ago.The new Range Rover will be the very first model to adopt the MLA modular platform, which will mix thermal and electric engines on a large number of models at Jaguar and Land Rover.This MLA platform is articulated around the level of the template of the models: Low, Mid and High.
The JLR financial director confirmed during a conference call with investors that the "MID" version had been stopped internally.If we already know that this has put an end to an electric Jaguar XJ, this also has the consequence of making the projects (not officially not confirmed) of the "road rover" and the Jaguar J-Pace born born.
From now on, JLR announces it clearly: you have to focus on the models that sell, and report.This is why the emphasis is currently put on the preparation of the launch of the new Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.
For 100 % electric models, you will have to be patient.The platform dedicated to these vehicles, called EMA, will not arrive before 2024.
