Our current model range embraces fully electric and mild‑hybrid vehicles and the latest gasoline engines. Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles are in demand worldwide, and during the 2020/21 fiscal year, we sold 439,588 vehicles in 127 countries. Land Rover is the global leader in luxury SUVs through its three families: Range Rover, Discovery, and Defender. In addition, Jaguar is the first ever brand to offer a premium all‑electric performance SUV, the Jaguar I‑PACE. 

At heart we are a British company with two major design and engineering sites, three vehicle manufacturing facilities, an Engine Manufacturing Centre, and a Battery Assembly Centre in the UK.

Three of our seven technology hubs are in the UK – Manchester, Warwick (NAIC), and London – with additional sites in Shannon, Ireland; Portland, USA; Budapest, Hungary; and Shanghai, China. 

Central to our Reimagine strategy is the electrification of the Land Rover and Jaguar brands with two clear, distinct personalities. All Jaguar and Land Rover nameplates will be in pure electric form by the decade's end. This marks the start of the company's journey to become a net zero carbon business across its supply chain, products, and operations by 2039.
