It's been a while since Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) had announced that the British carmaker is going have an 'electrified' future and hybrid is the way going forward followed by all-electric vehicle. JLR's global line-up has seen a major dominance of hybrid models and now it's India's turn to follow suit. The carmaker has confirmed that JLR India's upcoming launches will include mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid models and the company is all-set to bring the Jaguar I-Pace to India as well. In fact, the I-Pace will be JLR's next launch in our market.
