Driving the news: Jaguar Land Rover has delayed the launch of its electric Range Rover and first Jaguar EV, pushing back deliveries as the luxury automaker seeks more testing time and waits for demand to improve.
For context: The Range Rover Electric, originally set for late 2025 deliveries, won't reach customers until next year, while Jaguar's debut EV has been pushed to August 2026 production, according to a report from The Guardian.
JLR says the models need "extended testing" and the company wants flexibility to "adapt to different market and client demands."
The Tata Motors-owned brand posted a 10.7% drop in first-quarter sales and recently cut its 2026 earnings margin target from 10% to 5%-7%.
Why it matters: JLR is caught between ambitious electrification goals (promising electric versions of all brands by 2030) and market realities that have forced production pauses and margin cuts.
