In addition to the all-new Defender, the Jaguar Land Rover group is working around the clock to bring two additional nameplates to market by financial year 2024. One of those models could be the Jaguar J-Pace sport utility vehicle, while the other could come in the form of the Road Rover electric vehicle we’ve been hearing for quite some time now.
In addition to these three nameplates, Jaguar Land Rover prepares to roll out the Modular Longitudinal Platform alongside the Premium Transverse Architecture. The MLA is reserved for rear-/all-wheel-drive models such as the Range Rover Sport and Land Rover Discovery. As for the PTA, expect the next generation of the Range Rover Evoque to use it.
Both architectures are developed with electrification in mind, ranging from mild-hybrid assistance to plug-in hybrid and EV models. In the slide showcasing the MLA, it’s easy to see that electric vehicles will feature two electric motors located in each axle and a battery integrated into the floor. Plug-in hybrid models, by comparison, will integrate an electric motor in the rear axle and the battery on one side of the underbody.
Focusing on Generation Y, the British automaker prepares to adopt technologies that resonate with the young people of today. To this effect, cloud services and 5G network connectivity are of utmost importance for Jaguar Land Rover, which is also working on over-the-air software updates.
All models from Land Rover, Range Rover, and Jaguar will be electrified by 2020, and given time, PHEV and EV will make up 20 percent of the automaker’s global sales. The push for eco-friendly vehicles will result in the increased use of aluminum for the platform and body shell, more aerodynamic efficiency, and internal combustion engine options with higher thermal efficiency.
The 2020 Land Rover Defender is scheduled to arrive in the 2020-2021 financial year. By the end of the 2024 financial year, the lineup of all three brands will grow from 13 models today to 16 according to the presentation Jaguar Land Rover you can study in the gallery.
On that note, prepare to bid farewell to the 5.0-liter V8 (AJ-V8) that serves Jaguar Land Rover since 2009.
