Jaguar I-Pace has recently won the race against Tesla to put an all-electric SUV out in front of the public at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez race track in Mexico City. The two giant car marques competed to accelerate from the standstill position to 60mph and back to 0 against a 74Wh Tesla. Jaguar won both the acceleration and the braking tests.

Land Rover has stolen the scene at the recently concluded Geneva Motor Show with the launch of its latest model, the Range Rover SV Coupe. A two-door, full-size luxury SUV, this newly unveiled car is based on a heavily modified L405 Range Rover but shares the same exterior parts such as the lower tailgate, bonnet, fuel flap and lights.

The existence of Jaguar I-Pace isn’t a complete surprise as its preview concept has already been unveiled at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show. And just recently, the British automaker has firmly committed to revealing the concept’s production example in the internet on March 1 before its public launch at the Geneva Motor Show.

LONDON -- Land Rover has taken its utilitarian Defender and turned the iconic SUV into high-performance rival to the most expensive versions of the similarly rugged but costly Mercedes-Benz G class.

Defender production ended in 2016 but Land Rover bought late-model versions and installed a gasoline V-8 engine from its current Range Rover to create a special edition limited to 150 models.

LONDON -- Jaguar Land Rover said it will temporarily reduce production at its factory in Halewood, England, later this year in response to weakening demand due to Brexit and tax hikes on diesel cars.

JLR's sales in Britain and the rest of Europe were flat in 2017 and it expects tough conditions to continue, the company's sales director said earlier this month.

The second-gen model could debut as early as next year.

Don't expect to see drastic changes when Land Rover unveils the next-generation Range Rover Evoque. The company is sticking to what it calls a winning formula.Outspoken Land Rover design boss Gerry McGovern told British magazine Autocar his task is to "take the current car's integrity and make it more relevant." In other words, he's looking at "how to make the vehicle more modern, precise, more comfortable, more luxurious, those things -- not just pure aesthetics."

Surprisingly, a Range Rover sedan could also be in the works, too.

No longer the only company in the premium off-roader segment, Land Rover is considering expanding its line-up towards the top with a new Range Rover-badged model.

The British brand still hasn't fired back at new rival Bentley, which challenged it two years ago with the super-posh Bentayga. Executives are still studying how they should respond to the threat. Design boss Gerry McGovern shed valuable insight into some of the options currently on the table.

LONDON -- Land Rover's Range Rover subbrand will get a new flagship to boost its upscale ambitions.

The Range Rover Coupe SV will be Land Rover's most expensive model to date when it goes on sale later this year. The three-door model will debut at the Geneva auto show on March 6.
