What’s Next? Future Products
Thierry Bollore, who was with Renault, recently assumed the CEO position at Jaguar. All signs point to the releasing of a newly designed XJ model in 2021. Bollore indicates that this redesign may include using top-quality materials to construct the car while trying to attract people who are not interested or able to afford a large price tag. The vehicle may also have more soft touches in its interior with hand-sewn seats.
The manufacturer may also release an updated XJ that will be an all-electric vehicle. This car is likely to be the first to use Jaguar’s new Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA) platform, allowing the car manufacturer to offer electric and gas versions without changing the basic platform.
