The pair of electric models from Jaguar Land Rover was supposed to have been introduced a long time ago, but everything is eventually shifting.

The development of the new purely electric Range Rover has been talked about for a long time, as has the purely electric version of the new Jaguar XJ. The new-generation electric sedan has even been photographed during test drives, although it is still under a thick layer of camouflage. But for now, we know almost nothing about the upcoming electric SUV.
Fans of the brand and people who talk about behind-the-scenes information have not yet been able to agree on whether it will be a completely new electric model or just a purely electric derivative of the traditional Range Rover. However, we should find out the answer within the next few months.

According to Autocar, Adrian Mardell, the head of the Jaguar Land Rover carmaker, should have mentioned in a recent telephone conversation with investors that the premiere of both machines is scheduled for October and November this year. However, we do not know the order in which the individual models were unveiled, however it can be assumed that Jaguar will be the first in line.
Originally, the carmaker planned the premiere of the news for the months of August and September, which eventually came to an end. However, in addition to the two electric cars sharing a common MLA platform, we should look forward to the introduction of another product that Mardell referred to as the “MLA MID.”

In addition, the head of the carmaker was to reassure investors that work on the new generation of Range Rover and Range Rover Sport is proceeding according to plan. As well as work to start production of the three-door Land Rover Defender 90, the production of which was significantly delayed due to the pandemic.
In addition, during the teleconference, a question arose from some investment banks, which were interested in reducing the expected costs of developing new models. The Jaguar Land Rover has cut estimates by about £ 1 billion, which is often seen as a sign that the carmaker is about to focus on the number of models produced and is likely to cut it off slightly.

However, there was also talk of a new Defender, which was to confirm his role as a player who would completely change the rules of the game. The carmaker expects that the new Defender will eventually approach the target of about 100,000 vehicles sold annually. Originally a rough off-road, it could ultimately be a great selling point from an economic point of view, which will provide the carmaker with a supply of money.
