Jaguar Has Produced Its Final Gasoline Vehicle, Though You Might Not Realize It From Their Messaging | Carscoops

      The last gas-powered Jaguar has rolled off the production line in silence, marking the conclusion of a historic era while a new electric phase awaits.

      Jaguar has officially completed the final F-Pace at their Solihull facility, with the black SVR being their last internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. The company plans to unveil a new electric grand tourer next year.

      This signals the end of an era for Jaguar as they quietly finished the last F-Pace in their Solihull factory. This is particularly significant for two reasons: it means all production has ceased and this vehicle marks the last of their ICE models.

      Although these are monumental milestones, Jaguar didn't make much fuss about it; they did not issue a press release or even a social media announcement, which seems rather disrespectful to their legacy and the importance of the occasion, especially since production concluded on December 19.

      With Jaguar seemingly lacking direction, it fell upon the Jaguar Enthusiasts’ Club to share the news, as they were present for the farewell. They reported that the last vehicle produced was a black F-Pace SVR, with the color chosen as a tribute to the final E-Type that "signaled the conclusion of another significant Jaguar era."

      It's worth noting that black is often associated with funerals, signaling what might be in store for Jaguar if their contentious redesign does not succeed.

      In any case, the last crossover was reportedly transferred to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust, where it will be added to their collection of prototypes, concepts, race cars, and street models.

      What Comes Next?

      With Jaguar not producing any vehicles at the moment, focus shifts to the company's upcoming electric grand tourer. Previewed by the Type 00 concept, the production version, initially planned for a late 2023 debut, has now been postponed until 2026. The exact launch date is still uncertain, but Managing Director Rawdon Glover has indicated that orders will be accepted shortly after the debut, with deliveries expected to follow soon after.

      This six-figure vehicle will utilize the new Jaguar Electrical Architecture and is expected to offer a range of up to 430 miles (692 km). Owners can anticipate achieving 200 miles (322 km) of range in just 15 minutes using a DC fast charger.

      Details on the powertrain are sparse, but earlier reports suggest it may feature a rear-biased tri-motor configuration generating close to 1,000 horsepower. If true, this would make it the most powerful road car in Jaguar's history, marking a strong beginning for a new chapter, provided the brand can execute it successfully.

The phrase “function over form” is frequently used to describe items that may not be aesthetically pleasing but excel in fulfilling their intended purpose. Conversely, saying an item has been designed with form over function indicates that it prioritizes appearance over practicality. Surprisingly, the 2025 Audi RSQ8 balances both function and form, making it one of the most enjoyable SUVs I have driven. I use the term “surprise” because during my initial test drive of this model at its global unveiling in Spain last October, my impression was merely… good. Not exceptional or impressive, just a solid luxury performance SUV with ample power and an attractive design. However, after spending a week with it at home, I found myself falling in love with most of its features. What changed, and why did it impress me so much more in the streets of Indianapolis compared to the winding roads of Barcelona and even on the track? Here’s a straightforward breakdown for you. The Advantages There are only a few vehicles that captivate with their appearance, and even fewer of those are SUVs. The Q8 is already known for its distinctive design, which is generally appealing, but in RS trim, it becomes truly stunning. The term “sinister” is often overused when describing cars, yet it feels appropriate here. The Satellite Silver Metallic finish adds brightness and liveliness, while a dark gray or black version would look exceptionally intimidating. Viewed from the side, the RSQ8 has a sporty stance that indicates serious intent, with a sharply sloped roofline above the B-pillar. Moreover, the stunning 23-inch, Y-spoke, dual-color wheels are absolutely gorgeous, and the intricate design elements extend to the rear. When you approach the RSQ8 from the front or back, it clearly stands out. It doesn't resemble anything else on the road—not even other Audis. It exudes a sense of luxury, and when you start the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8, it emits a sound that reinforces that luxury, thanks to the throaty growl from its large dual exhaust pipes. And yes, it is indeed expensive, with my test vehicle priced at $155,440, including a $1,295 destination charge. Entering the vehicle reveals a spacious and elegantly designed interior. The seating is exceptionally comfortable (with attractive red stitching), and the steering wheel, shifter, and other controls are intuitively placed. However, the dashboard appears outdated because, well, it is—more on that in the Cons section below. Even if everything else were subpar, the RSQ8 would still rank among the best-driving SUVs I’ve experienced. Fortunately, that’s not the case. I would argue it is the best-handling and most enjoyable SUV to drive for under $200,000. So why did my experience differ from the launch? I think it’s due to the various roads I drove it on and the experiences I had. In Spain, I navigated winding mountain roads, which, while fun, can be daunting in a 631-hp vehicle if you're not already familiar with them. Additionally, the weather was poor—extremely foggy—preventing me from fully unleashing its potential. On the track, it impressed with remarkable handling, but it quickly became clear that a road course isn't its primary environment. However, back home, I tackled my favorite roads and had a solid basis for comparison with other vehicles I’ve driven. The first time I entered a clear roundabout at speed, I was briefly taken aback—thinking, "This isn't supposed to feel this way; it's an SUV!" When braking, the rear stayed lively, the front aligned perfectly for turning in, and the body rotation was so quick that I could only compare it to much more extreme vehicles. Yet, the ride was smooth and the experience was relaxed. The ability to provide an incredibly engaging driving experience without effort is truly remarkable. The Disadvantages As previously mentioned, the dashboard and its controls, along with the operating system, feel antiquated compared to the newer Virtual Cockpit in the Q3 and Q5—which I recently reviewed favorably. This does not significantly affect the driving experience since it functions adequately, but once you experience the newer technology, it’s hard not to notice the shortcomings of the older setup. The cabin design lacks the sleek, contemporary look of the newer models, although it does retain a few more physical buttons. As noted in my recent SQ5 review, this isn't a major issue for overall usability. The steering wheel design also falls short compared to the new hexagonal-style wheel in upcoming models, although it still provides good feedback. This critique feels somewhat nitpicky, but since it's technically a family vehicle, I must highlight a downside: the cargo space in both the first and second rows is Jerry Perez The latest news and reviews on cars, no nonsense.
