Accordingly, Jaguar Land Rover has put up a new plant in Solihull in the West Midlands in the UK where some 1,300 workers are now working to get the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace up and running soon. Given its huge manpower, the F-Pace would likely make it to the showrooms early next year at the earliest.
Not only is Jaguar Land Rover entertaining the idea of having two SUV models to come from its 2017 Jaguar F-Pace, the British carmaker is apparently looking into producing several electricity-powered Jaguar vehicles in the near future.
The company is said to be looking at the F-Pace crossover SUV and the XE sedan in coming up with its first ever electric-powered vehicles, notes Car and Driver.
But instead of working on a hybrid vehicle, Jaguar Land Rover shall reportedly jump into pure-electric models especially when it unveiled the Concept_e battery electric vehicle (BEV) during a low-carbon-vehicle summit held in the UK recently.
The concept was a four-wheel-drive, pure-electric platform that the company said will work with aluminum-bodied vehicles, with an underfloor battery pack and two electric motors.
The new electric vehicle platform looks ideally suited for the Jaguar F-Pace, resulting to notions and speculations that the crossover SUV would also be used by Jaguar Land Rover as a springboard to develop its first pure-electric vehicle. Unless the company decides to work on the XE sedan first instead.
