Jaguar Land Rover delays electric Land Rover Defender to the 2030s
Jaguar Land Rover has adjusted the electrification timeline for its Land Rover Defender line, delaying the planned fully electric Defender until the 2030s with no confirmed launch date. The company cited stronger-than-expected sales of the current combustion-engine Defender, which sells about 110,000 units a year and accounts for roughly one third of Jaguar Land Rover's global sales, as well as cost-reduction pressure and a 15% US tariff on Defenders imported from Slovakia. The delay does not affect the smaller 'Baby Defender' project, though its EMA platform has been modified to add hybrid compatibility alongside battery-electric capability.
