Jaguar’s transition to becoming an EV-only brand is almost complete, following the final vehicle with an engine rolling off one of its UK production lines.
Though nothing has been officially announced by Jaguar, the Jaguar Enthusiasts Club reported on last week’s landmark occasion, in which an F-Pace SUV rolled off the line on December 19, 2025.
The F-Pace SVR’s black paint was reportedly a tribute to the final E-Type which too was finished in black, though the larger focus was on what was under the SUV’s bonnet, with its supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine being the last to leave a Jaguar facility.
Jaguar had already stopped making cars for its home market in the UK, while the wider model range has been slowly phased out globally across the past 18 months, though stocks of certain vehicles still exist at some dealerships.
It’s not yet known when the next Jaguar will be built, given the new grand tourer – previewed by the Type 00 concept – isn’t due to launch until next year.
The four-door flagship will start a new era for Jaguar as an EV brand, and spearhead its push upmarket, becoming more of a rival to the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce, rather than BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
Expected to produce almost 750kW while delivering a comfortable ride harking back to Jaguars of old, the production model will be Jaguar’s ‘sink or swim’ vehicle.
However, it will launch the expensive and divisive grand tourer in a very different market than what was planned, with multiple brands delaying or cancelling their flagship EVs, while last week European lawmakers announced the 2035 ban on new petrol and diesel vehicles will be repealed.
Jaguar attracted attention from far and wide before the Type 00 concept was revealed last year, though much of the focus came from its rebranding which many saw as a complete departure from the brand’s history.
While it has recently installed P.B. Balaji – former chief financial officer at JLR’s parent company Tata Motors – as its CEO, it’s also under scrutiny for the reported firing of JLR (Jaguar Land Rover) chief creative officer, Gerry McGovern.

But they are full speed ahead with their push for electric vehicle activism. Indian automobile company Tata Motors is showing their colours. Jaguar is racing in Formula E (note a highlights package on CBS; one of the American teams is owned by the owner of the Golden Globes, which is now a CBS broadcasted property and the highest movie awards show left on network television; the owner also owns Billboard and Variety).
Kitty has stopped purring.
It was a shame to watch the rapid destruction of an iconic automobile The ridiculous advertising campaign of last year is something that they will never recover from. They may have surpassed Bud Light with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLtFIrqhfng&t=5s
That Jaguar Faguar commercial is so gay I thought it was
a broadcast from the Democratic National Convention.
One comment at the video (not mine but it’s perfect):
“Hey Jaguar, blink twice if Blackrock is blackmailing you.”
🤣🤣🤣
Lessons on how to go broke quickly. Stop making motor vehicles and make golf carts.
The woke A-holes at jaguar have destroyed a once fabulous car company.
The very few that purchase one now are truest stoopid.

Rolls Royce sold 5700 vehicles in 2024, of which 1900 were Spectre EV.
Jaguar wants to move upmarket, but a few years ago they were selling 100k+ vehicles
Faguar, the Troon wagon, is going to wipe out 90-95 percent of sales and a higher per-unit margin can't make up for that. i feel sorry for the employees.
It's yet another institution destroyed by it's degenerate, depraved "leaders" who sacrifice the institution to maintain their own Wokeness reputation for personal career reasons.
An iconic car is flushing itself down the tubes.
Jaguar itself probably has its own unique market, but do the folks within that bubble truly want EV’s only? I doubt it. For the super rich elites an EV is likely a must have novelty, but when serious dependable transportation is needed, and EV will be found nowhere.
Another iconic name is Land Rover, also owned by Tata. I suspect that car line will also be reimaged into some woke POS.
V-8 you say?
So much for downsizing gradually.
what a freak image, egad!
So will Jaguar and Land Rover still feature Lucas “Prince of Darkness” electrics?
Why do the British drink warm beer?
Because they have Lucas refrigeration.
Next step is Tata brand rickshaws
Gone completely in a couple years then brought back to life by some other company with gas engines.
“Jaguar’s transition to an insolvent firm is almost complete”
So Jaguar is going bankrupt then?
Get woke and go broke.
