Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has confirmed plans to roll out key electric models in 2026. Bookings for the Electric Range Rover will open this year, alongside the official reveal of Jaguar's bold new GT EV. The news came during parent company Tata Motors' third-quarter earnings call, where JLR also teased a fresh model on its upcoming EMA platform.
The Electric Range Rover leads the charge as JLR's first fully electric SUV from the iconic lineup. It's been under testing for nearly two years now, with prototypes spotted tackling rough terrain and highways.

Expectations are that the SUV will be available in both four-seat luxury setups and more practical five-seaters, catering to high-end buyers who want off-road prowess with zero emissions.

India is on the map for these plans, with the Electric Range Rover targeting the country as a priority market, where luxury SUVs already dominate sales for JLR.
Jaguar's story couldn't be more different. The brand is going all-in on electrification, ditching its entire current petrol and diesel range for a clean-slate EV portfolio. At the front is the GT, first shown as a thinly veiled prototype that echoes the classic XJ sedan's sleek lines but with more drama.
