Range Rover Electric global launch postponed to 2026, first Jaguar EV delay likely
The Range Rover Electric was initially slated for a global launch in late 2025 but could now arrive sometime in 2026 Check Offers Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has been readying the launch of the first-ever electric Range Rover for later this year, but plans for the global launch have been delayed to 2026. JLR has confirmed to customers about the delay of the Range Rover Electric's global launch, informing them that deliveries have been pushed to sometime in 2026. Not just the Range Rover Electric, but the upcoming Jaguar EV could be delayed as well. JLR Wants Stronger Demand Despite 61,000 Buyers On Waitlist A report by The Guardian states that JLR needs more time to test its EVs, while the extended period will also give the automaker more time for demand to pick up. JLR previously said that over 61,000 buyers were on the waiting list for the new Range Rover Electric. Over 16,000 buyers were registered in the first week of February 2024. Also Read : Range Rover Velar Autobiography launched in India, prices start at ₹ 89.90 lakh The upcoming Jaguar Type 00 Concept-based EV could be delayed as well, ahead of its scheduled debut next year The report comes amidst JLR's weakened sales globally as well as the recent decision to cut 500 management positions in the UK. The automaker's sales dropped 15.1 per cent in the last three months since June this year after a temporary pause in sales in the US, its biggest market. However, the delay could help not only improve its upcoming products but could also help JLR ride out the tariff-related delays. Sales are expected to improve once the US-UK's limited trade deal comes into place, providing 10 per cent lower tariffs on the first 100,000 exports. Future JLR EVs Could Be Delayed The delay could result in JLR delaying its future projects. This includes the electric Range Rover Velar, which is slated to commence production in April 2026, while an EV under the Defender sub-brand is expected to start production in the first quarter of 2027. The upcoming Range Rover EV and Jaguar Type 00-based electric offering will be the first models built by the company itself. The company previously sold the Jaguar I-Pace as its first electric offering, but it was built by a contract manufacturer.

The electric version looks identical to the petrol and diesel-powered Range Rover, but packs a 117 kWh battery pack promising over 500 km on a single charge. The electric SUV will draw power from a dual-motor setup, one on each axle, and is expected to churn out about 550 bhp and 851 Nm of peak torque. The model will be built on an 800-volt architecture, allowing ultra-fast charging speeds of up to 350 kW. Check out Upcoming EV Cars in India. First Published Date: 19 Jul 2025, 20:03 pm IST

JLR delays launch of Range Rover, Jaguar electric vehicles: Report
British luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover has delayed the launch of its electric Range Rover and Jaguar models to allow time for more testing and for demand to pick up, The Guardian reported on Friday. JLR has told customers deliveries of the Range Rover Electric will not start until next year, the report said, while a source told the newspaper that Jaguar's first EV will start production in August 2026. Deliveries of the Range Rover Electric were originally supposed to begin late 2025. The models, which are the first electric models to be manufactured directly by JLR, required extended testing, which partly led to the delay, the report added. "Our plans and vehicle architectures are flexible so we can adapt to different market and client demands," the company said in a statement to Reuters, while maintaining that it would sell electric versions for all of its brands by 2030. The "Defender" SUV maker did not respond to any other details in the Guardian report. Earlier this month, the Tata Motors-owned automaker posted a 10.7 per cent drop in first-quarter sales, hit by a temporary pause in shipments to the US and a wind-down of the Jaguar brand's legacy models. Production of the Range Rover Velar's electric version, slated for production from April 2026, could also be delayed further, the report said. The company in June cut its target for earnings margin before interest and taxes for the fiscal year 2026 to 5 per cent-7 per cent, from 10 per cent, amid uncertainty in the global auto industry spurred by US tariffs.
