The Jaguar I-Pace will not be part of Jaguar Land Rover’s all-electric lineup and will be taken off sale before the company’s relaunch in 2025. This decision, confirmed by JLR CEO Adrian Mardell, contradicts the previous suggestion by his predecessor that the I-Pace would continue to be sold and possibly even have a second generation alongside Jaguar’s new electric cars.

The specific end dates for the I-Pace and other Jaguar models have not yet been determined, as the company is awaiting a more precise launch date for the new range of models. Jaguar plans to reveal its first new-era car in late 2024 and launch it in 2025, utilizing the bespoke JEA electric architecture.

Mardell stated, “We don’t want the product to be out of the market for too long, particularly the electrified one [I-Pace]. Now we’re waiting for confidence in JEA. Right now, people are telling me it’s going to be in the first half of 2025. That’s just under two years away. I’d be more confident in that response when we’re nine to 12 months away. So we’ve got time – we’ve got nine to 12 months – to work through these decisions.”

The I-Pace is currently mainly sold in the UK and mainland Europe to ensure compliance with emissions targets. Mardell also mentioned that the I-Pace has played a significant role in the development of the company’s other electric vehicles, providing valuable insights for future EV projects.

Looking ahead, Mardell revealed that the target volume for the revamped Jaguar range will be 4,000 cars per month, compared to just over 5,000 sales per month in the first quarter of the current financial year.
