Jaguar is now working on its fourth. Rumors out of Gaydon suggest an all-new Jaguar SUV, the J-Pace, will join a face-lifted F-Pace, the all-electric I-Pace, and the compact E-Pace in 2021. Sources say the J-Pace will have set to be revealed later this year. It has been widely reported the new XJ will be electric only. But the use of the MLA convergence platform—combined with spy shots that show prototypes with the high cowl height required to package an internal combustion engine under the hood—suggest there may at the very least be a PHEV version of Jaguar’s flagship sedan, if not one with a purely conventional powertrain. This would put JLR at odds with Daimler, whose forthcoming Mercedes-EQS electric flagship is built on a bespoke BEV skateboard platform that enables a dramatically sporty profile and generous interior room. due to go on sale next year. Unlike the current Ghost, which shares its underpinnings with the BMW 7 Series, the new Ghost is built on Rolls-Royce’s own all-aluminum vehicle architecture—versions of which underpin the current Phantom sedan and the Cullinan SUV. Known as the Luxury Architecture, it can accommodate a regular internal combustion engine or full battery electric powertrains but is not designed for a plug-in hybrid driveline.
