If there is anything you flesh-bags known as “humans” love most, it is large, cold, unfeeling robots with unblinking, cow-like eyes and gaping maws that look like they’re trying to scream and scream and scream, but no sounds comes out. Deeply understanding this affection, Jaguar Land-Rover has built an autonomous…

There’s the Jaguar F-Pace, the E-Pace, and the I-Pace, all outgrowths of Jag’s decades-old slogan: “Grace, space, pace.” Possibly adding to that list, in the next few years: the C-Pace, a nameplate recently trademarked by Jaguar in Europe.

Well, that ended quickly. After Faraday Future spent last week firing the first shots in an unusual spat with its now-former chief financial officer, rumors emerged that Jaguar Land Rover parent company Tata Motors had invested $900 million in the electric car startup. The timing seemed highly suspect, and now Tata is…

Copycat cars produced in China have been a problem for years now, with Chinese manufacturers scrambling to produce cheaper lookalike versions of cars that buyers will pay a lot of money for. Now, Land Rover’s design chief says the company might hold back showing its concept cars early to at least delay a (likely)…

Just a month after announcing that every new car after 2020 will be electrified, Land Rover has announced its first-ever production plug-in hybrid for the U.S. with the new Range Rover Sport.

Good news! In a world of mid-size vehicles and sadness, Jaguar won’t fully give into the crossover cash trap.

When we met that drivable machine gun known as the Range Rover Sport SVR, I thought it might have been a practical joke against English understatement. Then the Jaguar F-Type SVR came ass-first around the corner, and today Jaguar Land Rover opened a facility dedicated to their their “SVO” department of lunacy.

Jaguar and Land Rover have been one company for years, but the division of design has always been pretty simple: Jaguar does luxury cars, Land Rover does luxury SUVs. The line started to blur with the intro of the F-Pace, and it looks like that trend is going to continue.

Chinese automakers taking heavy “inspiration” from other companies’ designs is nothing new, but we almost never hear about those automotive plagiarists facing repercussions. Jaguar Land Rover might have had about enough of that nonsense now.
