Jaguar produced the last car with an internal combustion engine before switching to electric vehicles
Jaguar completed the production of cars with internal combustion engines by producing the last F-Pace crossover at the Solihull plant in the UK. This step formally closes the internal combustion engine era for the brand and confirms the transition to a fully electric lineup.
What is known
As reported by the Jaguar Enthusiasts' Club, the last Jaguar car with an internal combustion engine was the F-Pace SVR — the most powerful version of the model. The crossover is equipped with a 5.0-liter V8 engine that develops 542 hp. The produced unit was presented to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust in Gaydon, where it will take its place among the iconic models of the brand, including the last Jaguar XE and the first Jaguar S.S.
The color of the car was chosen deliberately. It replicates the paint of the black Jaguar E-Type, which also symbolized the end of one of the key eras in the brand's history.

As part of the Reimagine strategy, Jaguar is completely rethinking its model lineup. F-Pace, like the rest of the company's current models, is being completely discontinued. This also applies to the I-Pace — Jaguar's first mass-produced electric car, which is now used, among other things, as part of Waymo's driverless vehicle fleet. There is no official information about direct successors to these models yet, but the brand showed its development direction with the concept of a four-door GT called Type 00.
Details about Jaguar's first new-generation electric car are still limited. According to preliminary information, the model could have a three-motor powertrain with about 1,000 hp, putting it on par with the Tesla Model S Plaid in terms of dynamics. The premiere is expected in the middle or second half of 2026.
Jaguar's transition to a fully electric future is taking place against the backdrop of strategy revisions by several competitors. Some automakers, who had previously announced a complete abandonment of internal combustion engines, are retaining hybrid and gasoline versions in their lineups. For instance, Volvo has adjusted plans for full electrification by 2030, and Land Rover, which is part of the same group of companies as Jaguar, has slowed down the implementation of electric vehicles.
