    Within days of Jaguar unveiling its I-Pace electric suv concept at the 2016 Los Angeles auto show, a test mule for the production version has been spotted. This isn’t the first time that we’ve seen the test mule but now we have a rough idea of what the final design will be like. We also have confirmation that the launch will be in the second half of 2018, suggesting the I-Pace will arrive on the market as a 2019 model. The test mule is hidden beneath the body of an F-Pace SUV. On closer inspection you’ll notice the grille opening at the front is a different shape and there...

    Motor Authority Best Car To Buy 2017 nominee: Jaguar XE

  • Teaser for Jaguar XF Sportbrake debuting in June, 2017

Jaguar’s previous XF Sportbrake (shown below) is one of the most beautiful wagons ever built, though sadly it was never sold in the U.S. It shared most of its powertrains with the XF sedan, including the XFR-S...

  • 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR first drive review

    Maybe this is how we'll remember sports cars. Once everything runs off a silent pack of cells charged wirelessly overnight. Once no one actually owns a car outright. Once cars turn into self-driven transportation devices, run by apps, pre-programmed for convenience, drained of life. Savor this one. The 2017 Jaguar F-Type SVR is a crackling piece of ecstatic, retro performance art. That's not just a Jaguar 5.0-liter V-8, it's the loudest Jaguar V-8 ever. It's not just fast, it's the fastest Jaguar ever, save for the uber-rare XJ220 supercar. It isn't merely the best-looking Jaguar on the road...
