Don’t hold your breath waiting for a Jaguar XD or a sub-Evoque Land Rover or Range Rover. Jaguar Land Rover’s chief commercial officer, Felix Bräutigam, has told Autocar the company won’t be entering any smaller segments. He said, “We should not and will not drive down into segments just to get economy of scale.”

The 2020 Jaguar F-Type has been recalled due to models with the 3.0-litre supercharged V6 making too much noise. It appears you can have too much of a good thing, because Jaguar says the "static noise level exceeds the regulated maximum decibel limit" in the F-Type V6. A total of 28 cars are included in the campaign – a VIN list is attached here. Jaguar will contact owners of the affected vehicles and advise them to organise a free 'fix' with their nearest dealership.

Nick Rogers, head of engineering at Land Rover, says the brand is obsessed with improving its reliability, perceived or otherwise. And while it's not where it wants to be today, the company is "pushing like nothing on earth". Speaking to Australian media at the Frankfurt motor show, Rogers admitted Land Rover is going through rapid internal changes to improve the reliability of its electronics.

It’s a 100 per cent new aluminium monocoque, which Collins says is the right choice to deliver the capability required for a Defender today.
