Jaguar Land Rover

Jaguar Land Rover Australia has recalled four examples of its Range Rover Evoque, citing a potential fire hazard with the upholstery. The affected vehicles were sold between July 2018 and July 2020, with Model Years ranging between 2019 and 2021. The recall notice, lodged with the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), says: "The seat material used in the front seats trimmed with 'Dinamica' cloth (a laminate bonded seat material) may burn faster than permitted."

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is taking its autonomous car development to another level, with the announcement of a new dedicated 'city' hub where it can carry out real-world testing of its self-driving vehicles. The Future Mobility Campus Ireland (FMCI) is a collaboration between JLR and global technology companies and will be developed near JLR's existing Shannon software hub, where its next-generation electric and autonomous vehicles are designed.

Jaguar Land Rover will begin manufacturing its interiors from wholly recycled material, in a bid to make the brand more sustainable. The company's next generation of cars will feature trims and floor mats made from a nylon product known as Econyl fibre, which comprises recycled industrial plastic, fabric offcuts from clothing manufacturers, and used fishing nets.

Jaguar Land Rover's fifth-generation Range Rover has been spotted testing its winter chops on the roads of Arjeplog in Northern Sweden, ahead of its anticipated release in 2021. These spy photos offer a first glimpse at a long-wheelbase prototype of the car, which JLR is positioning as an even more luxurious vehicle capable of taking on upmarket competitors like the Bentley Bentayga.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has bought Bowler, the boffins behind some of the world's wildest Land Rover Defenders. Bowler has been around since 1965, and specialises in creating cars for the rough-and-tumble world of rally raid. Its cars are built in low volumes, powered by either V6 turbo-diesel or supercharged V6 petrol engines. It was the supplier for the one-make Defender Challenge that ran between 2014 and 2016, too. Land Rover has been working with the company since 2012.
