Jaguar Just Built Its Final Gas-Powered Vehicle

Jaguar is now well and truly ready for its next era.

The British automaker just built the final F-Pace at its factory in the English town of Solihull, according to Autocar. With production complete, the marque can now focus exclusively on building EVs going forward.

This day has been coming for a while. In 2021, Jaguar announced its intention to go fully electric by 2025. It then began phasing out the F-Pace, its final combustion model, last year. The company stopped selling the vehicle in the U.K. that November, though it has remained available in other markets around the world, including Australia, China, and the U.S. The model, introduced in 2016, is the brand’s best-selling model of all time, with 300,000 examples sold worldwide since its release. The end of its production means that, for the time being, Jaguar is building no vehicle for sale anywhere in the world (it stopped building coupés and saloons in early 2024).

The storied automaker hopes that won’t be the case for much longer, though. Although it will not meet its goal of going all-electric by 2025, the company plans to unveil the production version of its first next-generation EV next year. That vehicle will be based on the controversial Type 00 concept that the marque unveiled at last year’s Art Basel Miami.

The grand tourer was supposed to debut at some point this year, but, in October, managing director Rawdon Glover told ABC News that its unveiling was being pushed back until next spring. Although the EV has been touted as the “most powerful Jaguar ever,” next to no technical details are known as of now. Glover said that the company would begin taking orders for the $130,000 grand tourer around the time of its debut, with deliveries expected to happen soon after.

In that same interview, Glover also said that the concept’s “polarizing” look was meant to be divisive. Although the executive spoke out in support of the design, it is unclear if everyone at Jaguar feels the same. Earlier this month, Gerry McGovern, the company’s chief design officer and the person most responsible for the look of the Type 00, left the company after 20 years, in a move that came as a shock to many industry observers.
