2025 Jaguar lineup: Automaker to produce just one model, sell discontinued backstock
What's going on at Jaguar? Only Jaguar really knows. Recently, the storied British automaker's lineup has dwindled as its vehicles aged out of relevancy. For 2025, it will continue to produce only one vehicle and attempt to sell through backstock of discontinued models like the I-PACE, E-PACE, XF and F-Type.
Although this isn't an encouraging situation, Jaguar is undertaking a daring effort to reinvigorate its business for the future. Read on to see what's new for Jaguar in 2025 and what to expect from it in the next few years.
2025 Jaguar F-PACE: What's new
Jaguar's lone 2025 model, the F-PACE luxury compact SUV, carries over mostly unchanged from 2024. The optional Driver Intelligence package now contains a 360-degree camera and automated parking assist system.
In the high-performance F-PACE SVR, the supercharged V-8 engine gains 25 hp for a total of 567; torque is unchanged at 516 lb-ft. It newly wears a P575 badge and gains subtle dark-themed trim details for 2025.

Pros
Elegant and understated design Nice balance of sport and comfort Smooth I-6, beastly V-8 engines
Cons
Underwhelming base I-4 engine Dim value play Introduced for 2017; shows its age
2026 Jaguar models: What to expect
Jaguar is undergoing a major and much ballyhooed brand reinvention, heralded by a bizarre promotional campaign that culminated in the reveal of the Type 00 concept car. That vehicle marked a significant departure from Jaguar traditions: It's an enormous all-electric grand touring coupe, styled under a new design language and specified to an even higher level of luxury than prior Jaguar models.
Much of what will come from the Type 00 concept remains to be seen, in terms of how it'll influence future Jaguars that subsequently shift the niche automaker's market positioning. Yet company officials have confirmed that the Type 00 previews a forthcoming all-electric grand touring four-door coupe model. This yet-unnamed vehicle is anticipated to arrive for model year 2026 with a starting price above $120,000. Expect EPA-rated range of up to 430 miles.
In case you missed it: The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the 2025 MotorTrend Car of the Year
2027 Jaguar models: What to expect
Assuming all goes to plan for Jaguar after it launches its EV GT for 2026, more production vehicles are likely to follow. An all-electric SUV is probably in the works, as that would expand Jaguar's lineup with a less niche, more versatile offering for greater market appeal. However, when that Jaguar SUV arrives potentially for 2027, it could have the unconventional design cues and expensive positioning indicated by the Type 00 concept.

What's Going On With Alfa Romeo? Resto-Mods, Supercars, And Hybrids On The Way
Alfa Romeo reentered the U.S. market a decade ago with a splash, even landing a MotorTrend Car of the Year award for the then-new Giulia sedan. The Stelvio midsize SUV followed soon after—and then the brand went kind of quiet until at long last, the Tonale compact SUV finally joined the family. Then…quiet again. You'd be forgiven for forgetting Alfa even sells cars here still. But the 115-year-old company isn't done in America yet. Rather than taking its lumps and quietly slinking back across the Atlantic, Alfa is making plans and doing things, even if it isn't making the news. A refreshed Tonale is on the way later this year, and replacements for the Giulia and Stelvio are still on the way, only delayed. In the meantime, the company will expand its Bottega program with another limited-edition supercar follow up to the 33 Stradale and launch a new resto-mod program to compliment its factory restoration program. First Up: Refreshed Tonale America loves SUVs, so it's no surprise the Tonale and Stelvio are tied for the sales lead at Alfa halfway through 2025. The Stelvio is long in the tooth and waiting on a replacement (more below), but the more affordable Tonale is only three years old and Alfa wants to keep momentum going. Alfa's U.S. boss, Chris Feuell, confirmed to MotorTrend a refreshed Tonale will go into production in November. An official reveal is coming in the next few months, when more details will be announced. Feuell did tell us the new 2026 Tonale will launch with an optional special edition trim level called Sports Speciale. Similar in concept to the Intensa trim level currently offered, it will build off the Veloce trim and package more features with special paint and trim. If it proves as popular as Intensa, it'll be offered on the Stelvio and Giulia as well. Then, A Factory Resto-Mod Business Alfa opened a factory restoration business for its classics back in 2022. Now, it's building on that idea with a resto-mod business not just returning old cars to their former glory, but installing modern upgrades as well. The plan, according to global head of marketing and special projects, Cristiano Fiorio, is to focus on mass-produced models. The company isn't looking to modify rare and exotic vehicles from its history, but hop-ups for widely produced sedans, coupes, and convertibles are on the table. Feuell tells us the resto-mod business will also include a parts business modeled after Mopar Direct Connection, which sells both factory replacement parts, factory performance parts, and officially licensed aftermarket performance parts. Another Halo Car Is Coming, But It Won't Be A Manual The super exclusive, super expensive 33 Stradale super car launched Bottega Alfa Romeo and it's been such a success a follow-up is almost done despite only three of the 33 total copies having been delivered. Fiorio says the next car is "eight-tenths done' and will be shown to prospective customers later this year before being revealed to the public in 2026. Fiorio says any project from Bottega must be a tribute to a historical Alfa Romeo model, just as the 33 Stradale pays homage to the model from the late 1960s. It must also be reimagined for the future, not a slavish copy. Reports indicate it will be another joint project with Maserati (the 33 Stradale is based on the MC20) and could be based on the GranTurismo. The next project won't have a manual transmission, though. Media and enthusiasts seized on a recent interview with Alfa's global CEO, Santo Ficili, in which he left the door open to a manual transmission in the future. While Fiorio didn't shut the door on ever doing a manual again, the next car won't have one. Manual transmissions, being so rare these days, require a ton of research and development money, Fiorio said. With limited-edition cars, that cost can't be amortized with high sales volume but instead could only be spread across a handful of cars. As such, Fiorio says he would have to raise the price of the car by 20 to 50 percent just to cover the cost of developing and certifying a new transmission. The 33 Stradale might be a $2.3 million car, but that doesn't mean its buyers want to pay a million more for the next one. Still, never say never. Fiorio says it could still happen with a future Bottega project, maybe even an even more exclusive, expensive one-off. The Stelvio and Giulia are, to put it gently, long in the tooth. They've been around nine and 10 years, respectively, with the mildest of refreshes along the way. Alfa is fully aware they're old and struggling to stay competitive, and new models of each are on the way. Thing is, they're running late. Alfa had originally planned to show the new Stelvio this year and put it on sale early next year, according to reports. The Giulia was expected to follow shortly after. Both were originally intended to go full-electric, but EV demand in Europe and the U.S. hasn't grown as fast as Alfa was anticipating. As a result, the company has delayed the launch, according to Filici, in order to develop gas, hybrid, and plug-in hybrid powertrains for both cars. Once those are ready, the entire model lineup will be revealed. A Reuters report suggests it could be as late as the fall of 2026. In the meantime, the current Stelvio and Giulia will soldier on with only single-year special editions to keep them fresh. The Intensa trim level offered on 2025 models will be replaced by another grouping of certain features with special paint and trim colors for the 2026 model year, which will be announced in November.

Analysis-UK inflation heat puts Bank of England back in the spotlight
By William Schomberg and David Milliken LONDON (Reuters) -British inflation looks set to hit 4% next month, double the Bank of England's target and a level likely to add to nervousness at the central bank about the risk of price growth getting stuck at a stubbornly high rate. Consumer prices climbed by 3.8% in July, data showed on Wednesday, the fastest annual rise for a Group of Seven economy and approaching the BoE's forecast of a 4% peak in September. While below the four-decade high of 11.1% reached in October 2022, when energy prices were surging after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, July's reading was the strongest in 18 months. By comparison, U.S. inflation held at 2.7% in July and in the euro zone it is expected to stay around 2%. British inflation has been above the BoE's 2% target almost constantly since May 2021. Little wonder then that the central bank - which saw its standing fall in the eyes of the public when inflation jumped in 2022 - has suggested that its already gradual run of interest rate reductions might slow, even with the jobs market weakening. That would be a blow to Prime Minister Keir Starmer and finance minister Rachel Reeves who are seeking to speed up Britain's slow-moving economy. They have pointed to the five rate cuts since they came into office as a sign of progress. The BoE's quarter-point cut to its benchmark rate on August 7 was opposed by almost half of its monetary policymakers. One of them, Catherine Mann, pointed in March to research in the United States showing that public attentiveness to inflation doubles when price growth hits 4%. The research, by Oliver Pfaeuti, a University of Texas assistant professor, found the increased U.S. public awareness of inflation "substantially amplified the already inflationary supply shocks and rendered inflation more persistent". Thomas Pugh, chief economist at accountancy firm RSM UK, said inflation at 4% was probably not an automatic trigger for long-lasting economic damage but "there is some pretty good evidence that consumers and businesses are paying a lot more attention to inflation". He noted that September's data would be used to set rail fares and student loan repayments and by some pension schemes. "There is a genuine risk of some higher inflation becoming baked into the system," Pugh said. Many businesses are caught between the burden of rising costs and the risk of losing customers also under strain. Steve Hardeman, managing director of Clevedon Fasteners, which makes rivets and other parts for construction and engineering firms, said his firm had raised prices around five times since 2022 in response to higher electricity bills and labour costs. "We're looking at increasing our prices again because of things that are coming down the line," he said. Nimisha Raja, founder of food manufacturer Nim's, said she had seen a lot of "opportunistic" price rises. She pushed back when one supplier sought to raise the price of courgettes by another 5% after a 30% increase earlier this year. "I said we can't afford to do that because we can't pass this cost on to our customers. And they did back down." BANK OF ENGLAND ON ALERT The BoE has become increasingly alert to the risk of inflation getting stuck too high. But it is counting on a gradual deceleration in wage growth to continue. At around 5% a year, it is down from almost 8% two years ago but remains far above the 3% level that the BoE thinks is consistent with its 2% inflation target. Despite a slowdown in payrolls numbers, some employers are still scrambling to retain staff. The British arm of German supermarket Lidl said last week it would give workers a fifth pay rise in two years, matching an increase at rival Aldi. Many other firms are taking a more cautious approach. Private-sector pay settlements held at 3% in the three months to July and uncertainty about the economy suggest further caution ahead, data firm Brightmine said on Wednesday. Inflation hitting 4% in September was unlikely to affect pay settlements for early 2026, Sheila Attwood, HR insights and data lead at Brightmine, said. But if inflation holds around 4% in the following months, that could have an impact in the spring, she said. The head of a major trade union group responded to Wednesday's inflation figures by saying workers needed immediate pay rises. "The time for action is now," Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said. The BoE has forecast inflation to slow to 3.6% in December and average 2.5% over 2026 before returning to 2% only in the second quarter of 2027. However, the central bank said the risk of higher-than-expected inflationary pressures had risen. Robert Wood, chief UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, expects inflation to be higher than the BoE does at 2.7% in 2026 and close to 2.5% in 2027, in part because he assumes finance minister Reeves will end a car fuel duty freeze and may resort to other tax hikes to stay on track for her budget targets. Wood predicts the BoE has now reached the end of its rate-cutting cycle. For now, however, most economists think the jobs market slowdown will allow for borrowing costs to be lowered further. A Reuters poll of analysts showed most expect a rate cut in November and another in early 2026. "There is always a risk that wages react to higher inflation, but at least this is not 2021," Philip Shaw, chief economist at Investec, said, pointing to a rise in unemployment, more people entering the workforce and no energy price surge. "It may be an environment where the Monetary Policy Committee chooses to be cautious but the labour market currently looks too weak to pose a major, medium-term inflationary threat."

RTA officials could transfer $74 million from Metra and Pace to CTA to delay city service cuts
Regional transportation officials may transfer $74 million from Metra and Pace to the CTA in an attempt to delay catastrophic cuts to Chicago's transit system. On Thursday, Regional Transportation Authority board members will vote on the measure, which the oversight body said would help delay catastrophic cuts to the CTA early next year while all three transit agencies hope lawmakers will come to their rescue with more state funding. The CTA, Metra and Pace are facing a budget gap in the hundreds of millions of dollars next year as federal pandemic aid runs out. All three agencies are preparing to cut service as much as 40% next year, and, most likely, to increase fares. But the CTA is scheduled to hit its fiscal cliff first, some months before Metra and Pace. Allocating more money to the CTA, the RTA has said, would push CTA's fiscal cliff back two or three months until the middle of 2026, leaving more time for state lawmakers to pass long-term funding for public transit throughout the entire region. Lawmakers, who failed to pass transit funding during their spring legislative session, plan to return to Springfield in October to try again. But advocates have warned that a veto session rescue, if it comes, may come too late. The transit agencies will need to start sending out layoff notices months before the cuts are set to take place, they argue, and planned cuts, after a certain point, could become tough to reverse. Additionally, experts say it may take time for revenue streams created by any new legislation to generate enough tax dollars to avert service cuts. 'This year's approach reflects a one-time allocation method proposed only for 2026,' the RTA wrote in a memo on the proposed ordinance. 'This deviation is mainly to allow time for the Illinois General Assembly to act on long-term sustainable funding for transit in the Chicago region that averts the impending fiscal cliff.' Most of the public funding for the CTA, Metra and Pace is allocated by a formula mandated by state law. But a smaller amount of discretionary funding is available each year. The $74 million that could be flexed to the CTA represents an estimated 1.7% of the entire regional budget, according to RTA spokesperson Tina Fassett Smith. If board members approve the measure, the CTA would receive all of the RTA's discretionary funding in 2026, and Metra and Pace would receive none. But Metra and Pace would still receive small increases in funding compared with what they were previously projected to receive next year. That's largely because the RTA expects to have more sales tax revenue on hand than expected because of an expansion of that tax to include more online transactions. An expected $10 to $20 million in extra sales tax each month, the RTA has said, will help delay the transit fiscal cliff and could mitigate its magnitude. In a statement, Metra spokesperson Michael Gillis indicated the agency was on board with the proposal to move discretionary funds to the CTA. 'Metra understands the need for the region's transit agencies to work together and share resources to address this unprecedented financial situation,' Gillis said. 'We are hopeful that Springfield will soon reach a solution in which all of us receive stable and adequate funding to continue and expand service for all of northeast Illinois.' Pace Executive Director Melinda Metzger said in a statement that the agency 'is focused on working with our sister agencies to address the fiscal cliff collectively, recognizing CTA's timeline in early 2026 and preparing accordingly.' Still, she said, 'we are mindful that shifting resources away from suburban service will have real impacts on our riders, and we encourage funding solutions that support the entire region.' Discussions around transit funding and reform in the Chicago area have been marked by a city-suburban divide. Suburban critics have taken aim at what they view as efforts to consolidate Chicago's power over the region's transit systems at their expense. Backers of a more city-centered perspective, meanwhile, maintain that the entire region is reliant on the health of Chicago's economy, which itself is dependent on reliable transit service within the city. Catherine Hosinski, a spokesperson for the CTA, said the agency had stretched its pandemic dollars further than most peer agencies in other major cities. 'The CTA is the last major transit agency in the country to hit the fiscal cliff without state or local intervention,' she said. Other mass transit agencies in cities including Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia — where massive transit cuts are expected to start Sunday regardless — have received stopgap funding from state or local governments. Hosinski added that the CTA was 'eager to achieve legislation that provides reliable transit funding that not only maintains current service levels, but also helps to deliver the levels of public transit service the region deserves.' Justin Marlowe, the director of the Center for Municipal Finance at the University of Chicago, described the proposed transfer of funds to the CTA as 'maybe a necessary evil.' The RTA, he said, was making a tough decision from a menu of bad options. 'They're using up, in effect, all of their wiggle room,' he said. In a typical economic environment, Marlowe said, the RTA could reasonably expect that gamble to pay off. But economic uncertainty combined with pressure on state government to make up for federal cuts, particularly to Medicaid, mean the agency should take neither the appearance of additional state transit funding nor elevated sales tax revenues for granted, he said. Meanwhile, Pace, which operates federally mandated paratransit service for the entire region, is facing a multimillion-dollar shortfall of its own. Paratransit costs have ballooned since last year's introduction of a popular ride-share program, which allows approved paratransit riders to call Ubers in lieu of using traditional paratransit. Each ride-share trip costs less money to provide than a traditional paratransit ride, Pace has said. But the program has proven so popular that costs have spiraled out of control. So on Thursday, the RTA board will vote on bailing out the paratransit program in part with $34 million in this year's discretionary funds. Pace is also expected to help plug the gap by making cuts to the ride-share program starting later this year. 'Our goal is to maintain as much service as possible with available funding,' said Metzger, Pace's executive director. Solve the daily Crossword
