Review Automotive Report: All-Electric Jaguar Coming by 2018

Review Automotive Jaguar outline executive Ian Callum let slip at the New York car exhibition that by 2018 we can expect an all-electric kitty.

"Inside of two years, we'll have something that is not driven by a petrol motor," Callum told AutoGuide, joking that it would rather utilize "only two or three hamsters."

The news affirms our prior reports that Jaguar is dealing with an EV hybrid, prone to be badged E-Pace (rendered previously). We don't know much about the all-electric Jaguar hybrid, with the exception of that it will be worked by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria. Puma is focusing on a low 0.28 drag coefficient, empowered by the hybrid's smooth roadster such as outline, pointedly raked windshield, and decreased backside, and in addition dynamic and uninvolved streamlined guides. Gossipy tidbits propose Jag is shooting for an aggregate scope of 310 miles, which would best the Tesla Model X's 240 miles and generally coordinate the 300 or more mile reach anticipated for the Audi Q6 e-tron (likewise got ready for 2018).

Past its arrangements for an all-electric hybrid, Jaguar is likewise preparing for more EVs. We expect everything from a XE or XF car to an all-electric F-Type to be on the table. Until then, search for Jaguar's first electric vehicle to start creation toward the end of 2017.

Past the extent of its EVs, Jaguar is preparing another direct-infusion inline-six motor in both diesel and gas frames, and also different conditions of tuning. Expect this 3.0-liter straight six to join the Ingenium group of motors, alongside the 2.0-liter turbocharge four-barrel destined for the XE sport vehicle and past.
